| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I’ve heard a lot of different speakers and I don’t think you can beat their sound for the price. . . I would put my system up with the best of them. Like others have said going with a couple of subs will help fill out the bottom end. I recommend g... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Just got back home from the show yesterday. It was fantastic. I got a chance to meet some great people like John Siau with Benchmark and Gary Yacoubian with SVS. Two things I’m really excited about: 1. Al Clark, Pres/CEO of Danville Signal Proces... | |

| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's @ianb52 I think Ian nailed it in his comments. What is interesting to me is my daughter loves making music and she is able to without the need and expense for a recording studio etc. She posted her first official song on YouTube Music, Apple Mus... | |
| IIR vs FIR filters. Is the sacrifice in fidelity worth the better DSP of FIR? @ddude003 Thanks for this! | |
| IIR vs FIR filters. Is the sacrifice in fidelity worth the better DSP of FIR? @ddude003, @luisma31 Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll check them out!! - Steve | |
| IIR vs FIR filters. Is the sacrifice in fidelity worth the better DSP of FIR? Thanks Erik! The other model they have is the DDRC-88A. Reading through their literature they actually encourage the process I’m using with the 2x8 which is REW into MSO and then they do Dirac Live on top of those results and apparently the result... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas That is a great story! I heard them at an AXPONA show in Chicago. I brought my wife and dad to the show because they had never heard sound reproduction on that level and I wanted them to understand what I was trying to achieve. (Thi... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live My system sounds live and spooky real depending on the recording. I think I can push it to live most of the time rather than some of the time with adding BACCH to my system this spring. I know live music, my dad practiced grand piano 3 hours a day... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I say I have spent 25 years putting it together and that I bought many things used. My wife says, “It’s irreplaceable” . . . I tell people when pressed, “Do you drink coffee?” They say “yes.” “Do you buy one most days for about $5?” They say, “Yes... | |
| Experienced only: What have you done with room correction? I built my system around the principles of Edward Choueiri and his BACCH system. It’s the last piece I have to add. As of now I try to find room spaces when I move that are not square which help with avoiding standing waves (Modes /Nodes) and keep... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Hi Eric, Yes I’ve based my system on the principles of Edgar Choueiri. The missing piece to my system is his BACCH 3D sound implementation. I didn’t get into all that for the sake of simplicity. Just because a system is set up correctly doesn... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Time delay is something that your brain uses to locate sounds in space. We are extremely sensitive to it. We can perceive fractions of a second. The reason we know that a sound comes from right center is because our ears and brain are sensitive en... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Please don’t be rude and call science BS because you don’t believe in it. These are measurable results that I can produce which you can hear and isn’t BS in any way. Your example with thunder and lightening is a great practical high school exampl... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Hi Paul, I have a time / phase aligned, and room corrected system at the listening position by way of digital crossovers processed through my Mini DSP using a mic that has a 30Hz-30KHz sensitivity range. Let me first speak to the basic princi... |
