| Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A Started with Isoacoustics Gaias and wound up with Townshend podiums. Improvements both times. | |

| Can I get my Prima Luna to sound more like a SET/300B? You might consider adding a 300B preamp. I use one with solid state amps. May give you enough of the flavor? | |
| Single driver full range speakers While I don't own headphones, I imagine it would be the same delight. | |
| Single driver full range speakers Along these lines, it may be that a multidriver system using an active crossover with amplifiers directly coupled to each driver may be the sweetest sound of all. The B&W Nautilus comes to mind. | |
| Single driver full range speakers @westcoastaudiophile My understanding is that the magic of an FRSD is due to direct coupling to the amplifier, thereby avoiding a crossover. A 2.5 way speaker that has a directly coupled midrange accomplishes the same goal but without the limita... | |
| Single driver full range speakers @pindac Sorry. Guess I glossed over that one. My bad. | |
| Single driver full range speakers @pindac I do not find any posts that state or even imply that full-range speakers do not sound good or are "no good". I do read a number of posts that detail their shortcomings, as all speakers have, and a few that question the appellation "full... | |
| Single driver full range speakers @westcoastaudiophile I appreciate that 50Hz to 15KHz is quite extended, but I believe "full range" extends even more. I would not regard the LS3/5A with similar low end performance but a superior high end to be full range either. Perhaps we just... | |
| Single driver full range speakers @westcoastaudiophile It's relatively flat response lies between 200Hz and 5 KHz and is not what most think of as "full-range". | |
| Single driver full range speakers @helomech Exactly. And this is why a properly designed 2.5 way with the midrange directly coupled to the amplifier provides the benefits without significant downside. | |
| Linear power supply Vinnie Rossi's latest Brama series integrated amp costs $48,000 and uses an SMPS. | |
| SOLVED: Room boom I use Townshend Isolation Podia on the mains and Isoacoustics Gaias on the subs. Very clean. | |
| Single driver full range speakers "Full range single driver" (FRSD) is often an oxymoron. Because there is no crossover, the midrange and a few octaves on either side might be the best you ever heard, but they are lacking at the extremes, necessitating a subwoofer, supertweeter o... |
