Building Watt/puppy clone

Glad to hear that you think you know what you're talking about, Tommy. Indeed I have no troble hearing the ringing, and it's right smack in the middle of the range that a CRT monitor's noise leaks into recordings, ALL TOO OFTEN. I have no troble hearing that either. IF YOU'D HEARD A REALLY GOOD SOFT DOME TWEETER, PERHAPS YOU WOULDN'T BE SO QUICK TO ASSMUE THAT THE W/P IS SUCH A GOOD BUY, even used. I agree, an original design is always best. THAT'S WHY I HAVE SEVERAL IN THE WORKS CURRENTLY. Happy listening...

carl...im not againsnt learning. give an example of program material and what the effect on the sound the ringing is to you. i can easily fo to brooks berdan's store and he is likely to have w/pS up. he is of course a vinyl maven so some vinyl suggestions would be appreciated. i would also like to hear corroboration from some others. carl, its not that i dont believe you. i was quick to point out the slow woofers in the infinity servos and the original m+k subs much to the chagrin of the people at woodland stereo(servso) and jonas miller sound (m+k). sub sat mating is nearly as difficult as st.bernard/toy poodle mating. im open to suggestion.

That's killer funny!....What do you mean? Are you asking what recordings have this noise in them? The list is very long, and these mostly "live" pop/rock ones come to mind first. Pink Floyd: "Pulse"; Seal's first; Peter Gabriel: "Secret World Live"; GNR: "Live Years"; Roger Daltry's "Music of Pete Townsend and The Who". I've even heard it on a few classical LP's from the golden age, but I forget which titles, right at the moment. The point is, I hear this range fine, and don't want it smeared by a tweeter, even if the CRT noise is not present.

And the only difficult thing about sub/sat mating (besides if the sub has no remote control) is if you have somebody like a wife telling you where things need to be put in your listening room. I don't have that problem. If you don't have a dedicated listening room, then you're not dedicated to audio. You don't need to spend money and time on it unless you're serious. It's about as silly as buying an SUV...Or a sports car (and obeying speed limits on the open road).

carl, i just realized that you must be way younger than me. im 55(cheeeeeeeep breakfast@dennys.com .i dont hear the flyback transformers ar ultrasonic alarms anymore! soooooooooo, wpS art probably ok fer me. my daughters even hear the uS dog training device we have too. it works fine on the cats, they take off upon first impulse of the thing. the dog jkust cocks hher head over like the rca poster puppy and gives the expression: wuts that??? sub amting depends on a few basics.......no hump in the satellite mid bass(as in the LS3/a which was nearly impossible to work with), variable xover point, variable level, variable phase control, and similar speed woof to sub. of course big bux to buy great drivers and electronics is really helpful. the progress made by ML in the xover region is rremarkable compared to other designs out of the past. agiain, i dont know your age. ......hifitommy@aol
