| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? The waterfall plot displays both the frequency response of a loudspeaker (in various dimensions) and it’s behaviour in time. It is very revealing of any "ringing" in the speaker’s response, ringing being a major cause of the lack of transparenc... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Oh, a few more facts and I’ll shut the Hell up (yeah, sure 😊 ). In the demonstrations of the prototype 30.7 For Condo’s, Wendell Diller was unequivocal and quite adamant that monopole subs (sealed and ported) "Do not work" (his words) with ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... I neglected to mention that the Rythmik Audio plate amp that comes with the OB/Dipole Sub contains a dipole cancellation network, and the Rythmik servo-feedback system enables the sub to reproduce 20Hz at reasonably loud levels. The sound of an... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... @mijostyn: I guess you haven’t heard who has been working on prototype dipole subs for a few years now. Wendell Diller and Magnepan. The proposed upcoming model that will pair magnetic-planar midrange/tweeter panels with dipole subs has been hu... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... @cey: No he didn't. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Probably a pair of huge SoundLabs, powered by Atma-Sphere amps. If I had a ballroom-size listening room and lotsa dough, that's what I would get myself. The SoundLabs, anyway. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? In the Summer of ’68 (how many here were then not yet born? 😊 ) I put together my first system: a Garrard SL55 with a Shure M44e cartridge, a Fisher X-100A integrated tube amp, and Acoustic Research 4ax loudspeakers. Not a bad place to start. ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... By the way, one very popular after-market product for Maggies are the stands Grant Mye up in Canada makes for them. While many Maggie owners are perfectly content with the bases supplied by Magnepan, there are some owners who desire to maximize... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale @wolf_garcia: Aren't we all? 😉 I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore. But white hair's still better than no hair! | |
| A great video about Garth Hudson. I can completely relate @garebear! The album you refer to is The Band’s second, commonly referred to as the brown album (it’s self-titled). Their debut---Music From Big Pink---was released a year earlier, and caused quite a ruckus (Clapton ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Yeah, after fifty years at Magnepan Wendell Diller finally decided to sell out. I wonder what took him so long? 😉 Preliminary reports suggest the "X" versions of some Magnepan models---certainly the 3.7i, perhaps the 20.7i and even 30.7 as ... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... Excellent @mwinkc! What say ye now, @secretguy? 😉 | |

| New In 2024 @jafant: Yeah, I'm SO looking forward to the Sweetheart Of The Rodeo RSD release! Backing Jim McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and Marty Stuart (talk about a Supergroup!) are Stuart's band His Fabulous Superlatives, imo the current best band in the worl... | |
| The Absolute Sound posts a video about a new product development from Magnepan, but... It’s very easy to improve on some of the stock Maggie x/o parts. You can simply bypass the fuse block, and the holes in the x/o plate for the stock Magnepan speaker binding posts are the same size many other posts require. I installed Cardas si... |
