.... in home systems for Room correction and general system EQFolks,This is from my own Yahoo group, but may be of interest here....Since writing this I have in fact changed my speakers to dipoles and do not currently use a PADEQ (it will return thou...

I also was disappointed in most of the SC LPs although they are far from the worst reissues IMO. It's just that the original deccas were so good its not easy to improve on them. I think a couple of their reissues of DGG LPs are usefully better than t...

Hi Romy,I believe you're right and it's due to the amount of LF the vinyl outputs, which may be more than the Bidat or the tuner do. It doesn't happen with all the discs, just some of them, which happen to be old recordings that probably have mo...

I took receipt of my new Anima speakers yesterday.Aesthetically, they match my listening room very well. Early days, but sonically, driven by my 211 mono amps with Elrog output tubes, they easily better any other speaker I've had in this room. It's f...

[quote user="kodomo"]Hey Anthony,Your project is going on track (and looks like a very good track)! Just a reminder about the room acoustics. You are talking about bass frequencies which are as dependent to the room as the speaker! Before installing...

Romy, I was delighted to see your video monologue, and I look forward to following along your new journey.No speaker can reproduce the reality of a live musical event for various reasons, and all speakers are by their nature a conglomeration of engin...

About 20 years ago Stereophile had a short article about a custom horn speaker system in the San Francisco area funded by a richie rich audiophile. They showed a picture of his system in a warehouse with humongous bass horn speakers far larger than p...

I have no comments about it besides assuring that the company that state all of it does crap in term of Sound. Still, I find that the way in which they think about construction of the walls of their back-loaded horn worth very much attention. Tak...

I experimented with both very wide and more conventional speaker placements. I found that bringing the left and right closer together increased tonal density, and overall I preferred this to the better imaging I had in the wider placement.If you have...

symbiotic diaphragms were never used in the 19's. this may be part of the "bad sound" that this guy was experiencing.they used the 802-8g driver with ultra light epoxy and aluminum diaphragm that allowed hf response up to 22,000 cycles when pairedwi...

... Anyhow, if you feel that Morison Audio is a right implemented “360 degree dispersion at all frequencies into a solid angle” (soothing that actually never happen live) then is any place what the Morison Audio’s re...

We all know how low-power SETs sound driving low-sensitively ported speakers. The Morons feel that it they have “enough volume” then their SET is good to go. Of course it is not the case and low-power SETs shell not driver dead speakers.
However, I ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]I don´t know whether you are familiar to Stig Carlsson´s speakers. The result achieved with Carlsson speakers is a stunning spacial realism when fed with true stereo recordings. With synthetic reverb recordings the sound just stic...

I'm looking to internally wire to binding posts on exterior of box from woofers in a sealed cabinet. I was wondering what are some options for wiring that will not be a hinder. Would a heavy gauge copper 6nine's copper be sufficient? I'm using so...

Chirag, First off all you have to define what do you want from them. If at this moment you’re looking for something within $700 then very next year, when you finish you medical school you will be searching in very different price range… :-) Now a lit...

[quote user="Antonio J."] I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still wer...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"] People frequently ask me what would be a good speaker to buy for $5.000, for $10.000 for $20.000 for $50.000 and so on. The more I think about it looking at the park of available loudspeakers the more I come to the obse...

I have had similar impressions to other speakers using these drivers. For example I found the top of the line Avalon Eidolon diamond to be similarly colorless and lifeless. Also a pair of Vaic speakers (designed by the guy from Lumenwhite...

Some folks from Australian audio site nominated my Macondo as the ugliest loudspeaker. I would disagree but my objective in this thread is not arguing about tastes but to talk a bit about reference points of judgments. It is irrelevant to me per...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] The L-9 enclosures were wood on all sides. Sealed box. No ambiguity here.Wings were common on theater speakers for mid-bass reinforcement. Plainly audible improvement on these and, for example, A-7/A-5 VOTs. It is equivalen...

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, apologies for being unclear: the amp is not yet built: this is just a spare chassis I am offering for others who may wish to build it too. Inputs and outputs have not yet been added to the chassis. I therefore cannot co...

Hello everyone,
I am thinking about building the full range Melquiades amp. I have inexpensive speakers meadowlark kestrel hot rod (88dB). I am planning on replacing the speakers, however, I am not sure when. My question is - should I even try the...

I am still waiting for a (single stage) tube that can make full range Music via speakers. I mean, this is the real issue, isn't it? Sure a good tube will pass a "full range signal" through the right transformer; but where is the tube that will do t...

Steve,
I hardly know what the NXT panels are and I hardly undusted them even after reading the 6moon article. I kind of understand what you are trying to accomplish, though I perhaps not exactly agree with the methods and means. Still, when we talk ...

Last few years my interest in audio “out there” got subsided and nowadays I seldom exposed to new amps, speakers and other product that the industry offers. It only partially might be explained by the fact that I got worn out on the primitive s...
