| Horn Speaker Recommendations As a true pure horn setup you would have to go along way to beat the Klipsch Jubilee with the monster 402 horn lens on top of it. Dynamic bass which only a true horn can give and not at all thirsty for wattage. Any genre of music sounds good with ... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? It means you paid a lot no doubt for something that is not real. You now have bragging rights but no improvement to speak of for audio. | |
| DIY 'rack' made from dead tree brances ? I think potted small trees shaped through years of bending as they grow and doing the bonsai thing on them would be better. The grow lights can provide great ambient light conducive to the proper mindset for audio. The leaves will help organically... | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. Perfect advice and the only thing I could add to OP's first comment would be to make sure to have price tags on things discretely displayed but in a way they can't be missed so people will understand the exceptional quality of the pure tonal outpu... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? " About the crossover swapout, are these really necessary? What difference would it make to the sound vs. just leaving the speakers at factory spec? " OK if those capacitors were in spec there would be no reason to rebuild. I use a B&K 885... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? If they are in decent shape that is a super price and they won't last long. 101db efficient and super good sounding Chorus is my favorite heritage Klipsch speaker. Make sure you re-cap the crossover if you get them as all those old caps are out of... | |
| What is trully important? Perhaps I have an unusual idea of what most studios use. I have to admit my perception is based on speakers I have sold recording engineers and studio owners around Nashville and not based on facility research. They bought five of the nine Klipsch... | |
| Building a 27hz single fold horn for a two way horn system. OK I figured out how to post systems and it is up. | |
| Building a 27hz single fold horn for a two way horn system. " WOW being able to go to the link and SEE the parts, with the drawings. Thank you. it should be wonderful! " Thanks and I would have posted the build here except I can't post pictures on this forum as far as I can tell. I have a set of plans av... | |
| What is trully important? "I prefer a speaker that reconstructs a reasonable facsimile of a performance rather than deconstruct it." Precisely my goal. And then add to it a trip through Audacity to remove some of that "mastering" done for poor speakers or earbuds and res... | |
| Building a 27hz single fold horn for a two way horn system. " Amazing project. You could post pictures by starting an audiogon "system" under your profile. People don't comment much in there, but I still like looking what people have setup... Would be great in your case. " How do I do this? I see the ... | |
| Building a 27hz single fold horn for a two way horn system. "Very impressive. How did you place them in your room? Do you have pictures of the system? I'm sure they are very efficient and do not require much current. 12 guage twisted pair cord will do just fine. If you are using mono amps keep them as ... | |
| Building a 27hz single fold horn for a two way horn system. Wondering what type of speaker wires might be recommended for these? | |
| What is trully important? "I never understood the fascination some have with the studio monitor paradigm. Studio monitors aren't hifi speakers and the intent of their design is to be very flat and analytical. Personally, I'm more interested in what a recording is maste... | |
| What is trully important? "but ultimately, you are buying for pleasure and personal satisfaction. You need to know your own gut and heart first, then you will know what to buy for." I can certainly agree with that. |
