Yes, I totally agree. In my old place, I had the Druids working in FR with the Berning Siegfried 300B, and they sounded exactly as you say.But I'm hoping that the Berning will cope better driving the Druids with a high-pass filter set to around 150Hz...

Very interesting.I spent a bunch of time messing around with slot loading under my druids, and then put 1 inch thick planks of wood I had lying around under them instead. Both tone and amplitude of bass improved noticeably (although please note we ar...

It is a dome tweeter, so I can see how proximity to the floor might have some impact in that at least you have HF hitting the floor. How ti regulates brightness is mysterious to me as well.My personal hamster speakers (for NPR vocals) simple mono Tiv...

Hi Paul,Could you help me understand what you mean?Are you saying that even without a high-pass filter, a <8" driver has an imbalance of 'harmonic development' above and below 150Hz... and that this is not the case above and below 400Hz?If we ...

All:I have Druid MkIV and know exactly what you mean in LF. LF overall is quiet, but the ragged frequency response sounds weird. (Weirder than their ragged response in MF and HF). In measurements there is a massive suck out at 150 and at 30.http://ww...
