KOTriode, am and not exactly following what you are saying. You are talking about mechanical noise coming from a transformer or that fact that transformer arouses mechanically of inductively some noise that you can hear from loudspeakers? THe Cat...

This time from Germany and this time the pattern is very much the similar to the patterns of any other company that sell electromagnet fro Hi-Fi: the semi-idiotic statements-claims meant to impress uninformed peoples and no credible claims about ...

Pete, I met Kevin and his wife for the very first time at Munich, what a charmimg couple, personally I am very much looking forward to hearing his new horns, any commercial manufacturer making horn loudspeakers has to be a good thing. ...

I just spoke with a guy who have made both permanent magnets and electro magnets for loudspeakers.He said that the reason that electro magnetic speakers have a smoother and more grain free sound, is due to the temperature rise in the mechanical parts...

products- I mean to convince people with big pockets to pay for high priced
things. For example in car industry not everybody who buys a Ferrari, Lambo,

The method of supporting an NXT panel is not relevant. The principle of using one or more exciters to vibrate one or more panels is what makes an NXT. The location, support, damping-panels, whatever are designed to give the required frequ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]atilsley169, I would ditch your request to define term high-end. I think you might do it for yourself if the defining of the term is important to you. Your second question however is very interesting. You ask if the purchas...

In my view the most appaling sound feature of nearly all "high end" loudspeakers is the lack of any tonal qualities. Over 90% of them sound completely artificial with no tone. All those ceramic, kevlar, magnesium, polypropylene, titanium, carbon nano...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

I kind of feel that I am way off in my familiarity about what is going on with new audio products. My horizon is very restricted with my own needs and with my own interests. I am irregularly read audio publications and irregularly visit some audio si...

I'm not sure I understand what point you consider a priority, but I can explain the reason for my initial inquiry and what I intend to do.My initial inquiry was intended to acquire information on whether a horn with a target range of 40Hz to 400Hz co...

A while back I mentioned that I would not want speakers
that could not “do” Gieseking. Well, The Loudspeakers do Gieseking, all right,
including telling me more about his performances of Debussy’s Etudes. I have
long admired and appreciated Giesek...

Six Moons has published a second installment about the Living Voice loudspeakers. It was announced a six month back or so, and to say honestly I did go the last week a few times to see if the article was posted. Living Voice Vox Olympian uses the...

Movingcoilguy,
sorry I know nothing about the Wharfedale drivers, speakers, nether about the Goodman cabinets. Mau-designed boxes are also very much not my area of expertise. In fact, if you read me than you know that I have a strong attitude again...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of do...

A German company Avatar Acoustics makes loudspeakers with adjustable positioning of their ribbon-tweeter. This is very much with the context of this thread although I’m questioning a lot of things in those loudspeakers (pretty much everything beside ...

Actually I care less about the design philosophy in this case but rather about the result. Obviously the 150W-200W (200W?) of Zarathustra’s pure class A would be completely useless for my horns. I would like to have something to drive with that amp a...

[quote user="AllHammer"]This post has basically wiped out the entire reputation you have tried to build up in the past. Rebutting a review does not make yours right, and from my personal experiences, you are indeed far from right. I can see why some ...

[quote user="Stringreen"]Indeed I do know that high wattage does not necessarily mean that accurate dynamic shadings are successfully reproduced, however, I will tell you that my high power amps do the job well, and his tubes do not. ??[/quote]It has...

When you say it was not very high end...but that you found the sound very good....doesn't that mean you should redefine the term high end?
Also. Why can't the purchase of a $20k speaker in itself not be regarded as audio ambition?
Regards.

Timothy,
My “understanding” whatever you feel I understood “after seeing the CES voodoo” neither changed nor evolved in any directions. My level of tolerance changed but it was it.
However, I feel that you mistakably “deciphered” my message. ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Yes, you are right. Power – you have almost unlimited power. Dynamics – you have as much dynamics as you want. But there are a lot of associated problems with that kind of dynamics. The following illustration is taken by ...
