[quote user="rdrysdale"]Romy, I just got a Vitavox S2 into my shop today. I notice that it has a very heavy stainless screen on the front, do you leave the screen on when using the drivers? It looks like it restricts about 50% or more of the thr...

This is very interesting observation. I am in away envy that Petar went for a set of large woofers (4x23”!). This is the way to go! Unfortunately I did not experiment with it even I had the drivers and means to do it. My problem was with the fact...

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

Well, I have post able a number of articles about different aspects of Purepower 2000 operation and sound. I could make a few more but I think it is enough for now. I would like to drop a few general observation and conclusion.

Well, dealing with Purepower I think it worth to understand the APS specific. They did not impress me as an engendering shop but rather they are the long-ceremony type of operation. It is not that you comment on some kind of problem on the fi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I figure out that it is time and put some acoustic treatment on the walls and at some spot of ceiling. The 2” pyramids in white, 24” by 24” look very nice; in fact they almost work like abstract yuppie-ornamentation po...

I was thinking about the obvious disparity between the

I am not a person who understands a lot about tuners. I understand a lot about sound and in the tuner world I am just a user of the things. If I need comprehension of the things I ask questions, I have very limited ability to extrapolate the sound of...

Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

I very much do not mind to try the biggest Khorn bass

I would like to offers some thoughts about possible avenues for Pure Power 2000 improvements. Those thoughts are no specific to the recent November-December events and have broader generic implication. I initially intended to write it to Pure Po...

Ok, thanks for explaining. I
few things I would like to note.
If your preamp, being
incorporated between you front-end and you power amps degrades sound in any way
or does not make sound better then it is not a good preamp. Period, there is n...
