Post Subject: Dynamic dynamicsPosted by Bill on: 11/9/2021
While I have heard the terms static dynamics, micro and macro dynamics, I have never heard of dynamic dynamics. Are you referring to the term “changing dynamics”, which means a volume change, either gradual or instantaneous. What was missing yesterday was both micro and macro dynamics, but especially the “jump factor” he had previously with both his horns, and Dannoy's.I agree with Romy that I didn't hear the dynamics or the gorgeous tonality we had with his Dannoy’s yesterday. I believe this had three reasons. 1. His boxes are bigger than the Dannoy's and they had very little foam inside. 2. With the rubber gasket he has between the driver plenum an cabinet, it would be like playing a violin with its mute piece In place. 3. The back wall of the cabinet was attached by only one screw which should decrease dynamics. The Dannoy’s cabinets are 3 cubit feet in volume whic is what Tannoy recommends with their 10 inch red builds, are solid as a rock and have a huge amount of solid foam stuffing.I am sure once Romy gets in his foam, reshapes the speaker opening, seals the cabinets properly, and possibly decreases the cabinet's volume, he'll get the sound he is striving for. Why do i know this? Because I have come close last night after working on the speakers for five hours yesterday after our session at Romy's. I had been working on them for four weeks with execrable sound, until Romy came over last week and showed me the error of my ways. After replacing my digital Behringer crossovers, then, with the original Tannoy's, and yesterday removing the rubber surround between the driver and cabinet, both at his suggestion, then adjusting their frequency response to +/- 1 dB with my Trinnov altitude processor, the sound obtained last night came much closer to what we experienced in his room with the same speakers, but far superior equipment. It has gotten to the point where it is superior to what I was obtaining with my Edgar Horns, making me confident that I’ll not go back. I only hope that Romy obtains his sound epiphany again so he won,t want the Dannoy's back.BillRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
