| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Actually wet sanding and buffing is what I do with any new car. Every factory paint will have some peel, the only way to remove it is with wet sanding. The point was, swirl marks can happen so easy that it's unreasonable to expect replacement if y... | |
| B&W 800D or 802D Cosmetic Issues Scratches in the finish can likely easily be wet sanded and/or buffed out. Swirl marks and scratches are easy to understand, most finishes are incredibly easy to scratch with improper handling. Take any brand new car and look at it with direct ove... | |
| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? What Photon says, oil is not going to produce the desired effect with an "on the wood" finish. Treat it just like you would your car. The problem now is you have an oil based film on top of the finish, that has to be removed first. And it'll take ... | |
| Greenville SC / Hendersonville-Asheville NC areas You know Audiogon is based in Greenville. Some of the 'staff' owns our speakers. | |
| Replacing Veneer on ProAc Speakers Take a picture of the gouge, use good lighting and a camera with decent close focus (macro) ability and post it online somewhere. I can tell you if it's repairable or not. As long as the gouge isn't through the veneer, it can be fixed, thought not... | |
| Opinions on efficient bookshelf speakers 95db? Duke, as usual, is correct. Crossovers in fact will (almost always) make a pairing of drivers easier to drive than they would be without crossover induced transfer functions. And crossover 'losses' are another often perpetuated myth, .05-.1db loss... | |
| The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under Fritz is a class act, no doubt his speakers should be considered by anyone looking for top-shelf performance out of a monitor. Great parts and construction at a reasonable price, what's not to like? Just wondering Paul, I know we spoke a lot in th... | |
| State of the Source: Server, computer....or what? We - Vapor Audio - have had a relationship with Antipodes for a few years now, attending many shows with them, and using their servers ourselves exclusively. We are also dealers for their full line, and will be showing their new products, includin... | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? Chayro - I agree cabinet design is more complex, but he is at least asking the question. And I have vast experience I'm willing to share. So by the end, he'll have some knowledge needed to make good decisions. Would I say that Harbeth and Spendor ... | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? Chayro - you have things completely backward. It's building resonant, colored cabinets that is completely trial-and-error, and based on misguided theory. Strong, massive, resonance free cabinets ARE better. The job is to create an instrument as tr... | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? The best material would have extreme tensile strength and Young's modulus of elasticity, but also high internal damping. Metals can of course have high strength, but very poor damping. And if you search, one can find tables which list the Rockwell... | |
| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review Drubin - we will be at both shows. Axpona will feature a new model named Derecho, sort of a smaller/lighter Nimbus. Also will have a Joule White and Cirrus Black at Axpona. Newport Beach we will be showing for the first time our Joule Black. | |
| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review Need? No, business has been chugging away nicely just due to word of mouth and show coverage. But I met Constantine at Newport Beach and liked him. He's a former 3rd Gen RX-7 owner, which makes him a good guy in my book :) He suggested talking to ... | |
| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review All drivers, doesn't matter if they're ceramic, paper, woven angel hair, whatever. They all have their own intrinsic characteristics that they bring to the table. With Accuton drivers they are a very clean, white sound. It's how the designer addre... | |
| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review Vapor hasn't had many professional reviews because we just haven't needed them. But I met Constantine of Dagogo while at Newport Beach, he's an honest guy who struck me as someone I'd like to work with. He was also interested in our products, and ... |
