| What component is responsible for dynamics ? I remember reading a post many years ago on Audio Asylum where a recording engineer measured the compression of dynamic peaks in various loudspeakers, and found a strong correlation between loudspeaker efficency and preservation of dynamics. Unfor... | |
| Conical horns whos using them and your opinion Johnk, you probably already know this, but my suggestion would be: Don't equalize the on-axis dip you get in the treble region. It's an artifact of the in-phase mouth reflection; it moves up or down in frequency as you move the microphone closer o... | |
| Klipsch La Scala Dilemma It sounds to me like, for whatever reason, you feel that accepting the free LaScalas would obligate you to use them in perpetuity. Basically, you'd be selling your freedom to use the speakers of your choice for about a grand, because that's about ... | |
| Wanted to share with GON members my new "JOB" I read your Quick Review. Very professional, pointed out pro's and con's and why (assuming the con's aren't deal-killers) it's an excellent unit. You will be an asset to Hometheaterreview.com. Very best of luck with your new gig!Duke | |
| DIY Speaker question I bet you can get those foam surrounds replaced for a lot less than $800, assuming the voice coils weren't cooked. Then set the speakers to "small" for home theater, and use a separate sub or subs.Whether a given subwoofer will do "more harm than ... | |
| Dedicated listening room design The most critical time of any major project is at the beginning, when the biggest decisions are made, and paradoxically when you know the least. Apparently you are aware of this, and seeking to learn as much as possible at this early stage, which ... | |
| Dynamic speakers for OTL amps In my opinion (which is not unbiased), single-driver speakers are generally limited in clarity and/or articulation when called upon to reproduce large-scale music at high SPLs in a big room. That's just not where they excel.Again imo, the coherenc... | |
| Low powered & warm sounding class D amps ? I have been extremely impressed by Virtue Audio amplifiers. They sell direct so their prices are quite reasonable. http://store.virtueaudio.com/Duke | |
| What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated? As a first approximation, you could buy two pairs of your favorite Wilsons and point one pair backwards, to give you a bipolar radiation pattern (dipole = too much bass cancellation for this application, so bipolar works better). Dukedealer/manufa... | |
| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K Perhaps used Emerald Physics CS2?Duke | |
| Cheapest way to ship large speakers? You might try freightquote.com.If possible, you want the same company handling the shipment all the way to the buyer's door. If there are two companies involved, each will blame the other if there's any damage. | |
| Anything like an Altec Model 19 The Model 14 is a better approximation of the Model 19's voicing and presentation than is the A7, in my opinion.PiSpeakers are excellent, and I consider Wayne Parham to be one of my teachers. The reason for the per-speaker pricing is that a lot of... | |
| Heaven or Hell The Stereo Gods giveth... and the Stereo Gods taketh away.They are giving you as sign. They are telling you to visit the nearest high priest - your local dealer - and make a suitable offering, in the form of an expensive purchase. Do this, you wil... | |
| Klipsch lascala subwoofer? The cabinet design of the LaScala does not provide horn loading down into the subwoofer region; it is much too small to be effective at those wavelengths. Instead, the cabinet would act like a very small sealed box, of whatever internal volume is ... | |
| Speakers with wide listening window Audioconnection wrote:"...the only way to get a wide listening window is to use a speaker that is so defuse that it can't possibly have a "sweet spot". The higher resolution and more transparent a speaker the smaller and sweeter the sweet spot. It... |
