Robin, I have had recurring thoughts about speaker/crossover/amp "compatibility", and I wound up on the shoals of back EMF. You pointedly mentioned BL, and, on the one hand, you are "right". At the same time, an "easier" (high BL) circuit can very qu...

Some years back I posted on the Musical Discussions board
about a remarkable Everest recording (X-923) of Josef Hofmann, and I mentioned then that I
thought this recording was pretty amazing, based on the Music I was easily able
to extract from it...

Over the weekend I had and took a chance to hook the amps up to a giant and "difficult" pair of speakers. I was pleased with the results, when the meters were running much farther to the right than I ever see them do when they are driving my own spe...

Looks like I skipped a couple years, there, and might as well skip this one, too. Nothing at all profound or noteworthy on the audio front, except I know where I want to go but need some "manufacturing" ideas and better focus to get there from where ...

I agree the "period" closing needs more words, Roman.The P.A. horns/drivers were mounted in stadiums, convention centers, maxonic halls, cinemas, theaters, everywhere was needed a broad music or speech dispersion, trouble free operation and high S.P....

This report is on a new pair of Marantz MA-9S2s, following up on the relevant post in the "Powerful Amplifiers" thread. I installed the amps in my usual stereo set-up, to make it easier to draw a bead on them. I still have less than 100 hours on th...

romy, there is a tuna freak in los angeles who insists that the only way to get the best sound from the l-02t is to use kenwood's proprietary cabling. i dunno, i have never tried one. i have tried two earlier analog kenwoods; my experienc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]No, you did not do before and you are not doing it still. I think the problem with that you are expressing is that you have no desire to EXPLAIN FOR YOURSELF what you do. Forgot about the amplifiers, speakers and the ...

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have an extended listening session with the Living Voice Vox Olympian outside of a show environment. Since said listening session took place upon a boat – moreover, a wooden-bodied boat – under what can only be sai...

I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to ma...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

[quote user="mats"]Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

Like I’ve said, my aim was to find/build a pair of
speakers that could be driven “full range” by one of my Marantz MA-9S2 amps per
stereo channel, and these speakers would have to give me greater insight into
Bruckner in order to fill the bill. I ...

Amir, the Marantz MA 9S2s are the subject of this
thread, and I chose to keep using this amp because it was consistently acceptable
to me with different sources and driving vastly different speaker loads, including giant (Sound Lab A1)
electro...

Wilson’s
advance reviewers/sellers have said Wilson has gone back to paper (all ScanSpeak)
drivers, with silk tweeters. IMO, this should
be good for tone and texture, but it will likely change amp interface. If I were interested in the Wilso...

The "Super
Mod"
The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be

A site reader sent me last nigh a link to a Yahoo newsgroup where a guy posted at feedback about Accuphase T-1100

The Loudspeaker (Troels Gravesen project); a report started "too soon" because they've taken sooo long to build, and they fired right up (first try), and they already do Music!
For some time (at least a decade) I thought about
building a ver...
