Electro Dynamic Braking in Mirage M3-si
I am not sure if it is the same thing that Legacy used in some of their older models such as Signature III. They called it dynamic braking if memory serves. Basically, they had a dual voice coil woofer and used the back EMF from the first coil and... 
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
I have the manual and wave launch charts for the Topaz 6. Several years ago, I sent the midrange, tweeter assemblies with cradles, and crossovers to Dale for upgrade. They never got finished and I don’t believe they ever will. All I have left is t...

Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker
So the question for Kenjit remains, why are you not designing, building, marketing, and selling your own speakers that equal or out perform the Pulsars for far less money? It is a piece of cake, right? Have you ever heard the Pulsars?

Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread
There is a pair of Audiokinesis Prisma for sale here right now that would work pretty well. Heard them at the Axpona show a few years ago and found them to be a good sounding speaker. They are efficient enough to work well with a 30wpc receiver an... 
Paradigm Persona series
Cmsgolf, really don’t know why you have this evangelical hatred of the Persoanas.Audiotroy, when did I ever say that I hate the Personas? Please find it for me. I think they are a very good speaker, that is unfortunately too tipped up in the top... 
Paradigm Persona series
@ahofer I hope you end up buying something you love and can live with for the long term. I would be wary buying something that you find a fundamental flaw with, no matter how much someone may want to sell them to you. No amount of cabling, footers... 
Paradigm Persona series
I listened to them toed in a bit, and if you look around you'll read a bunch of reviewers/users are setting them up facing straight ahead to avoid an overly bright presentation. Apart from the brightness, I think the Paradigms are *very* stiff ... 
Paradigm Persona series
So ahofer heard the Personas at Audio Doctor and still found them bright. Apparently, there are no dealers in the country that can tame the brightness. Maybe Audiotroy can chime in here and blame his hearing for the perceived brightness. When I ha... 
Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs
I understand that Legacy states you can adjust phase using the Wavelet. What I don't understand is how it can be done after the crossover has completely mangled the phase performance of the speaker. The damage is done and you are not individually ... 
GO PATS!
Six Superbowl rings is more than any other has. As much as I hate the Steelers, I would still have to say that you are wrong.  
Recommendation on power amp
@waltersalas     He clearly doesn't capeesh. His answer to you makes that pretty obvious. Most self aware people would take a hard look at themselves if that many people were trying to tell them there was something wrong with their behavior. Not t...
