| subwoofers and panels don't mix I used to think that the problem in trying to blend a subwoofer with a planar was primarily a transient response issue (see my post above, dating back about 15 months). Now I believe that it is primarily a room interaction issue. By way of introdu... | |

| Atmasphere ma1,VTL mb250, Jolida JD 3000 I'm a dealer for Atma-Sphere, SoundLab, and JoLida.The difference between 140 and 200 watts is less than 2 dB. However, none of these three amps will really be delivering exactly their rated power into the load the SoundLabs present, so let's take... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Undertow,On another site Macrojack's every post was accompanied by the tagline "I am a dealer for Grado and Zu". As far as I knew, he really was an active dealer for Grado and Zu, so it didn't start out looking like a molehill to me. And far as I ... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Undertow, I'm not backlashing at Zu. Please re-read my posts above. And it probably looks like I'm persecuting Macrojack, but most of my loudness is really just trying to make a point. I DO NOT think this is what happened: Fifteen months ago Macro... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Macrojack, you are attempting a mis-direction. I don't care how much business you actually have or have not done for Zu or Grado or whoever. You have agreed to provide the services a competent dealer would provide should the occasion arise in retu... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Sorry about taking your thread on a tangent there. I used to be an Omega dealer, but the only models I ever had were those with the light-yellow coned Fostex drivers. When I started doing my own thing - which was conceptually fairly similar - I di... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Macrojack, you disclosed to probably everyone reading this thread except for me an affiliation that they didn't previously know about. And you disclosed to me how long ago it started. That's disclosing SOMETHING, dude. Here are my responses to you... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Thanks for responding, Macrojack, and fully disclosing your affiliation with Zu. I was pretty rough on you there, but now I can see that there are two sides to it. In my opinion the readers have a right to judge for themselves whether or not an af... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Supravox's 8" field-coil driver in the factory-recommended enclosure is probably the best-sounding high efficiency crossoverless speaker I've heard (I've never owned a pair). Incredible imaging (I'm not normally an imaging freak, but these really ... | |
| Determining reflection points Mrjstark is correct for most speakers, and correct about the mirror technique.Note that line-source speakers don't have a significant floor and ceiling first reflection. Note that bipoles and dipoles will have a significant first reflection off of... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker A speaker can be made to sound smooth by designing in a frequency response dip in the lower treble region (somewhere around 2 kHz to 5 kHz). The Silverlines mentioned by Zapper and Bondmanp often have a pronounced dip in this region and I think th... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo StonedTemplePilot,There's a trade-off relationship between immediacy and richness. The more dominant the first-arrival sound, the more immediate (front-of-the-hall) the presentation. The more dominant the reverberant energy, the more rich and ambi... | |
| Any experience with SP Technology Timepiece spkrs? I have heard them several times at audio shows. Very, very nice speakers. I like the concept and I like the execution, and in fact if I didn't offer something conceptually fairly similar then SP Tech would be in my line-up. Dukedealer/manufacturer | |
| Stolen SoundLabs - just in case... I just got a call from the Barstow Police Department that they found my car with the trailer still attached and locked shut. It sounds like all the big pieces are there and okay, except for damage to the ignition system. It was still in Barstow, o... |
