| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Greg, I like the concept. The equation I use is 1,100/ freq = wavelength (ft). So a 2" driver would start to beam at 8K. How do you align the drivers? If you use a 1" tweeter I would think you get a flare if you drop it in at under 13K.My concept ... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Thanks Skrivis and Gregm. I have tried twice to respond but both times, 15 minutes into my response my computer crashes from doing Ebay auction at the same time. So I give up. | |
| Digital Amp's Third Audioengr's comments. Also they are really fussy about getting clean power. I could not run my PS Audio through my Tripp-Lite surge protector - even with dedicated line. But for good sound on the cheap, not bad. | |
| Please recommend components for newbie with $1K Epos M12 or ES11 speakers. Try them with your Scott tube amp before chucking it. Integra is really bright to my ears. Creek A50 integrated sells for ~$500 used at Audiogon and is voiced for the Epos. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Gregm, that's interesting about the Jordans. Is this a baffle step compensation if they are not put up against the wall?In my limited experience with single driver speakers, the biggest shortcoming IMHO, and this is highly listener dependent; is l... | |
| PMC vs. ATC You're right Brizon, we're all in collusion against you. Stereophile is out to get you too.You've gotta check out Audio Asylum. I can just imagine you and RGA going at it!Happy 7 day anniversary as an Audiogon member :-). | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? How can a speaker be slow and dry? They are opposites. Slow = big bloated bass with little damping. Dry = fast bass which is lean so sounds light. For amps, Naim gear is dry, Unison gear is slow. | |
| PMC vs. ATC I have listened to ATC active 10's, 20's and 100's in people's homes. They are definitely not bright with rock music let alone "nails on a chalkboard". Thiels, Triangle, B & W, Energy, Monitor Audio - these are bright speakers. With Naim pre a... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons So what makes a time and phase coherent 1st order speaker better than a single driver design like Jordan JX92s or Fostex F200A? Jordan has NO crossover, no components in the signal path to create distortion, no driver blending problems, etc. etc.S... | |
| PMC vs. ATC Active ATC's have plenty of bass and are not bright. Passive ATC sound pleasant but really do not show what ATC is capable of. | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Nautilus euphonic HUH???? More like analytical and if anything mechanical sounding. Nautilus have precision soundstaging and disappear almost as well as small monitor speakers. Nautilus produces a wall of sound and pressurize small room quit well.... | |
| Monitors under $1500? Amphion has $1,295 speaker amazingly low distortion and was Soundstage award winner. | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Restock, drivers with a whizzer cone are not single driver speakers. They are 2-ways with a mechanical crossover. I'm not trying to fault anyone who likes the sound and high efficiency of the whizzer cone drivers. Fostex also makes true single dri... | |
| Breaking in a new amp Saw an ad with a smashed Naim amp on the concrete caption was:"Sorry, I did'nt catch your Naim".Ooppppps you said break-in not break. | |
| Best bargain integrated amp? Portal Audio Panache designed by Nelson pass (?) or Musical Fidelity X-150. |
