.... in home systems for Room correction and general system EQFolks,This is from my own Yahoo group, but may be of interest here....Since writing this I have in fact changed my speakers to dipoles and do not currently use a PADEQ (it will return thou...

I also was disappointed in most of the SC LPs although they are far from the worst reissues IMO. It's just that the original deccas were so good its not easy to improve on them. I think a couple of their reissues of DGG LPs are usefully better than t...

Hi Romy,I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have mo...

I heard a friend's horn system recently and was very impressed. I don't have the resources to put together a diy system as discussed here, amazing as they seem, but am looking for recommendations for commercially available finished horn speakers that...

Does anyone really have the resources, and the patience, and the evolved audio/musical discrimination to develop a 4 or 5-way FR speaker system from scratch, including each and every driver? I can actually see a "theoretical" benefit in using field ...

I took receipt of my new Anima speakers yesterday.Aesthetically, they match my listening room very well. Early days, but sonically, driven by my 211 mono amps with Elrog output tubes, they easily better any other speaker I've had in this room. It's f...

[quote user="kodomo"]Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing...

Romy, I was delighted to see your video monologue, and I look forward to following along your new journey.No speaker can reproduce the reality of a live musical event for various reasons, and all speakers are by their nature a conglomeration of engin...

About 20 years ago Stereophile had a short article about a custom horn speaker system in the San Francisco area funded by a richie rich audiophile. They showed a picture of his system in a warehouse with humongous bass horn speakers far larger than p...

I experimented with both very wide and more conventional speaker placements. I found that bringing the left and right closer together increased tonal density, and overall I preferred this to the better imaging I had in the wider placement.If you have...

symbiotic diaphragms were never used in the 19's. this may be part of the "bad sound" that this guy was experiencing.they used the 802-8g driver with ultra light epoxy and aluminum diaphragm that allowed hf response up to 22,000 cycles when pairedwi...

[quote user="zako"]I dont get it,,,Why introduce a system thats been around in all the CINEMA theaters for the last hundred years,, I guess what goes around comes around again,,,[/quote]
Well, they did not “introduce” anything as I understand...

[quote user="Winnie"]Firstly let me say that I believe musicians could be just about the most important people to judge the quality of Hi Fi. They know how the music sounds during creation so can best judge if that quality has been preserved (less de...

We are full time preparing to move to the new place. In a
new house we have 14x24 room that we

Some folks from Australian audio site nominated my Macondo as the ugliest loudspeaker. I would disagree but my objective in this thread is not arguing about tastes but to talk a bit about reference points of judgments. It is irrelevant to me per...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] The L-9 enclosures were wood on all sides. Sealed box. No ambiguity here.Wings were common on theater speakers for mid-bass reinforcement. Plainly audible improvement on these and, for example, A-7/A-5 VOTs. It is equivalen...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

It of course is hard to say anything about the midrange without hearing the speaker. LF and HF are surely standard yellow cone.It is cold in Germany this time of year. A GM100 amp would be an inefficient but beautiful heater in the 20 square meter ro...

What is interesting, and this is not Wheel-Fi problem but
much wider problem, that we in audio still are clueless how to present speakers.
The video above is fine but it is only fine in very confined zone of the Wheel-Fi
audio interests. As the re...

Here's a thought experiment...pick up a couple of chinese orange crate cellos - for example .. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Good-student-cello-nylon-bag-bow-ready-to-play_W0QQitemZ190084840261QQihZ009QQcategoryZ10178QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemlossily mount the PHY...

BTW, in the end of it’s live Fane tied to do flat loudspeakers. The try to convince that it was not the computer-grade but the real deal. Conceptually, if it properly implemented (a big opened question) then the flat design might be very interesting ...

Steve,
I hardly know what the NXT panels are and I hardly undusted them even after reading the 6moon article. I kind of understand what you are trying to accomplish, though I perhaps not exactly agree with the methods and means. Still, when we talk ...

As high end speakers go these aren't that atrocious looking. Let's face it: speaker design is frozen from WW2. We have horns, panels and box speakers as we have had for a couple of generations. Even the driver elements are variations on a theme. I th...

My favorite were the Classic Audio speakers. I know they have many faults, but the Fostex 500II tweeter was singing nicely. ...

Here are some folks who think ultra-stiff cones and cutting-edge technology are the way to go: http://polymeraudio.com/about/ I did not read all their explanations. I have never heard these speakers. Perhaps they will be at this year's THE Show, at...

Yes. That kind of placement was a giant improvement in all aspects!I'm pushing the speakers around in a big circle today./Ronnie...

[quote user="Paul S"]I recieved and accepted an invitation to hear an earlier version of the Cogent speakers, and I was subsequently asked for a considered opinion of the sound. I guess the designers had read from my posts various criticis...

[quote user="noviygera"]I notice the same warming up effect on my system, takes a few hours. And I thought... could it be the speakers warming up? [/quote] I tend to think that it is not speakers but electronics. At the upper MF my speakers has metal...

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, apologies for being unclear: the amp is not yet built: this is just a spare chassis I am offering for others who may wish to build it too. Inputs and outputs have not yet been added to the chassis. I therefore cannot co...
