| Direct Drive Rumble Thank you, gentleman. The bearing issue had never before come to my attention. It would seem, from what you are saying, that direct drive has the greatest upside potential since it will experience less rumble effect and no worse than equal wow and... | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu Rblnr-Call Zu and ask for an extension. I'm pretty sure they'll give you another 30 days. It's not without precedent. Then it's up to you to play them long and loud. Break in is a pain but the reward is significant. | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu It is certainly true that many manufacturers have experimented with elimination of the crossover from their speakers. There have been varying degrees of success but the fact that many attempt it seems to validate the claim that crossovers are best... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Yikes. The more I read, the worse I feel. I must be jumping in the snake pit to get away from the snakes. The picture I had in my mind indicated much smoother sailing than what you guys are proposing. Maybe I'll get lucky about the bass in my room... | |
| Have you tried Red Wine? Drubin,The only D amp I have used other than my Vin Rose is the Rowland 201 with Ice Power and a lot of experimentation took place between these experiences. Off the top, however, I would credit the Clari-T with higher resolution and a more lively... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Dan, The Definitions have internal amplification for the onboard subs. These have an adjustable gain control on the back of the cabinet. Zu also makes (but doesn't publicize) the Definition Pro which has heavier duty professional grade woofers and... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Shadorne-Your response concerning room anomalies provides specifics where I previously had only general awareness about these problems. 10 to 20 db is a lot of variation. When you say that room equalization is limited to a small sweet spot I wonde... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Inaudible content on the low end can be detected by the body because it shakes the floor, ceiling, walls, etc.How would we detect inaudible high frequency content? | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Goroi- I was referring to speaker systems of any kind, not just single driver systems.Sogood51- I like your "room lock" and "room shudder" concepts. Newbee-The passage says "reaches down into the 30s WITH SOME WEIGHT". Is that meaningless? The mea... | |
| Zu on Zu 883dave-Please reread -- SLOWLY -- the passage you captured from Phil's post. It says rather specifically that many audiophilesdo not know the sound of live unamplified musical instruments. I have no idea if he is correct in that but I can tell yo... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Line-I'll have to try your experiment later. I just took a break from painting the living room. The system is dismantled. What I've done so far was just feel it while it was playing. Didn't feel any resonance as I have in other products at times i... | |
| Zu on Zu Hwy-You speak with forked tongue in cheek. I agree with some of what you say. Being one of the zealots to whom you so reverently refer, I can't deny being over the top. The area where I disagree is your comment that we assail any and every dissent... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Hwy-I think you are correct about the cabinet but I am not sure. I think 70 lbs. is light in comparison to the behemoths being mentioned here. And the things are over 4 feet tall besides. The aperture at the bottom is about 4 inches by 9 inches. I... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Aha! Onhwy61 has offered a good explanation as to the workings of my speaker. They have a downward firing bass tunnel running the full height of the cabinet and the size of the aperture facing the floor is quite large. The freedom of the backwave ... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise My speakers are 50 inches tall and weigh in around 70 lbs. There is a 10.5 inch fullrange driver at the very top of the column firing forward. They sit on a plinth that is 12 inches square with a spike in each corner. They do not resonate. The box... |
