Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Pick your poison. I would go for a wide range single driver midrange. Look at the classics like Ls3-5a, original Quad, Spica TC-50, original Advent, etc. All were as simple as possible. K.I.S.S.Time has taught us (some of us) that complexity bring... 
Crossoverless Speakers - Ultimate Solution ?
Clipsal - It seems that you already have your answer. Buy that sub and cross it over as low as you can. 
Crossoverless Speakers - Ultimate Solution ?
Eldartford - Right you are. Crossoverless design was the original approach. Originally speakers were used for speech and did not require much bandwidth. Later when music reproduction inevitably emerged as a goal, greater frequency extension was so... 
Crossoverless Speakers - Ultimate Solution ?
The best crossover being no crossover is indeed a good theory. And I have a pair of speakers that prove the theory has become fact. So I can believe what Clipsal is saying. Whenever a big advance comes along there are always "experts" on hand to e... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Springbok10 -Your request for education is refreshing. Help is on the way. What Tvad says about subwoofer implementation, however strange, is certainly true. Incorporating subs can be very tricky,as you need to place them in such a way as to blend... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
"I suppose ideally, with an amp such as the A-S MA 2.2, it seems redundant to have a built in sub amp (the Zu)which is unlikely to be as good as the A-S amp. So a full-range speaker without a sub amp would seem to be the theoretical ideal and so f... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
My Definitions were 12 inches from the rear wall with no boom, no problem. However, I would still recommend the Presence for your situation. Black hardware is available and your wife can choose any color on earth. My speakers are the color of new ... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
The Zu Presence weighs 80 lbs, has a 14 inch wide front baffle that narrows toward the rear at a 60 degree angle. It is biamped, highly efficient and sports a 16 ohm flat impedance curve. The owner of Atmasphere uses a similar Zu speaker with his ... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Tube amps employ an output transformer to match the high output impedance of their tubes to the lower input impedance of the speakers being used. These amplifiers have at least two separate binding posts for (usually) 4 or 8 ohms depending on the ... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Using outboard transformers with OTL amplifiers rather defeats the purpose. Appropriate speaker matching will make more sense and bring better results. Also must agree with Shadorne about cramming high performance speakers into too small a space. ... 
Goldmund speakers
While it is difficult to justify Goldmund pricing, it is important to understand that these products are built for and marketed to people who don't need to concern themselves with the cost of things. The above advice to buy them used is a useful s... 
Zu Cable Presences
I've had these speakers since around Halloween. If you like the sound of Zu, you will be very impressed with these. I have no experience with the Def 2 but word has it that it is only superior to the Presence in larger spaces. Call Zu and ask thei... 
Where are the female Audiophiles?
Women are not equal ----- they are equivalent. This may seem like petty semantics but I mean to indicate that , while they are not inferior to men, they are clearly not the same. Stereotypes are always based in fact. They are generalizations which...
