| Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker? " I think it would cost much more to build a 12/15 inches full ranger speaker and it still may not go as deep as a power subwoofer that crossover with smaller speaker"True, but there's more to bass than depth/extenstion. Like output (i.e. how loud... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I'm with you crusty. Not that it matters, but I heard one of those 2C3D systems by Avalon/spectral/MIT/asc--expensive junk. | |
| Relative air humidity on electrostat performance Maybe you should consult Martin-Logan since they designed the thing, if you really think its a problem. | |
| Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker? I can't say a smaller speaker is going to image better. The only distortion a smaller speaker intrinsically cures is less diffraction. Cabinet resonances also mess up the sound (the 801's and 802's have ceramic heads with non-parallel sidewalls wh... | |
| Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker? "if you add a subwoofer( assuming a good one) to B&W 805 or Martin logan entry level model . do you get the same performace as N801 or prodigy or more because the subwoofer in many instance will go even deeper than the full range speaker?"NO"i... | |
| Where do I position 4 speakers for 3D stereo sound "However, I have found that the effect is all up front."This could be how it was recorded. High-fidelity (faithful to the source) is one thing, special effects are another. You're basically doing surround sound with music, some discs have far more... | |
| Best efficient, passive sub - Any suggestions? 9 times out of 10 active subs are better, this is still maybe one of those 9. Your sat-5's are 87db efficient in an acoustic suspension design with a manufacturer rated 60hz-20,000hz (w/out any tolerances). If the speakers are flat down to 60hz th... | |
| Where do I position 4 speakers for 3D stereo sound You didn't specify your processing. If you're just going to run two sets of stereo pairs I don't think it'll do much to achieve the effects you want. You'll need some type of processer before placement becomes an issue. Two speakers can do 3D when... | |
| Which upgrade should be my priority? I'm with the others. Lets reedit.1) Speaker stands ($50-whatever) (wood can be nice if done well, if you do metal it must sand filleable. I've used the Cinder blocks myself, I feel like a tweek saying this, but turn them so the holes are facing yo... | |
| What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you? That HotRod version of a Meadowlark--didn't they have flames or something on it? I thought it was tacky as hell (no pun intended: I didn't catch it 'til I finished the next paragraph).Regarding the "banalness"--I do find these threads more interes... | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? "I wonder how much of a speaker's price goes towards the finish?" Quite a bit actually, or certainly can be. I think Vandersteen addresses that on his site somewhere (or did years ago) and why he likes the "sock" look so he can put money into the ... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Correction on RT=reverberation timehttp://www.mcsquared.com/reverb.htm | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? While its true that the human ear can percieve/distinguish between the original and reflected energy the two become interrelated in different ways. A sound wave will bounce around a room an average 60 times (RT-60) before becoming inaudible (as Ri... | |
| DIY Wilson Clone Speakers? http://www.klone-audio.com/Eldragan probably knows the other link with clones--his are featured.Advices:1) You might want to biamp for your low-end. That'll cut you some slack on the xover in different ways. Assuming you're ok with deviating from ... | |
| Subwoofer isolation The big concrete cinder blocks at the hardware store are $.90 each-you know the 8" by 8" by 16" at 25 lbs each with the two big holes in'em. Stack those around and slap a nice cover on the package--mainly for the TT. |
