Today’s prices in Hi-Fi do not base upon any other principle then “whatever market bears”. The luck of objective evaluation methods and the completely un-liberated market of Hi-Fi consumers make the “market bearing” principles being completely not ap...

[quote user="smith"]What a ridiculous waste of money![/quote]I completely disagree. Let's be honest here, the majority of audiophiles are atypical people (wierd, anal, eccentric, driven, insecure, etc.) and plenty of them require handholding, c...

Well, I thought there was a lot of this going on all along, but that we just haven't come up with much that is "universal" in the usual, "what do you recommend?" sense yet? Maybe this is because one person's Cu PIO is another person's...

In my case, the Wright Sound WPA3.5s, with ~8 Watts on tap in A2, could not handle my 97 dB speakers; not because it was not loud enough, but because the distortion was too much of a factor too much of the time, and "bass" was bass-ically A...

Maybe this is a mic problem, or a Sunfire problem. But, like I said way back when, the raised floor sink is not only the 5 Hz structural/footfall resonance, but it is uneven broadband + & - with respect to hi-fi, and the helluvit is that your ho...

[quote user="Paul S"]I think it is fair to say that no big speakers are going to "work" up to their potential without some serious effort expended in setting them up. IMO, this is no small matter, and Wilson obviously agrees,&nbs...

Hi Daniel. I mean the window, after you sweep 10 seconds, and fuzz shows the IR. You can change the IR windowing on the preferences panel... like crop/cut the analyzed part of e.g. 1ms before the peak and then duration X behind the peak (here i asked...

Romy, is there any way you can re-arrange tor re-configure the speakers in order to accommodate the stacked 15" drivers, or are you determined to push your speakers against the wall where they are now? I ask because I have heard stacked 15" drivers ...

Adrian, Your Tesla comparison makes an unwarranted assumption. Tesla has professional management, an established supply chain and a stable production schedule. PP has none of that. It functions more as a sideline than a normal business. If people w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]It is interesting lately to think about a new listening room
as a concept. We looked at a few good house that for this or that reason did
not work for us and one had a very good listening room, just a phenomenal location

Yes, this is kind of strange. This is a cheap Blue Ray player; I think it is Sony BDP-S790 for $279. It played anything and supports live stream for pretty much anything. It is very comfortable to have it in opera room as video source. The picture is...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Elso, I failed
to calculate the very precise size of enclosure necessary to make all the
system work properly. Generally speaking, if you have a very very small
listening room and very up-close position, and if you ...

[quote user="be"]The paradox of the orchestra sound would be resolved if we asume that the audience (in the good seats) mostly hear the reflected sound, primarily from the wall behind the stage and that the players at the front follow the visual lead...

Hi Romy,thank you for your answer. On weekend i will rebuild my amp for the 6E6P-DR. You are right, the tube datas shows that pin 8 is a screen. On D3A pin 8 is Grid 3 connected to screen.I will try it with pin 8 lifted and connected to ground. I hav...

I'm following with interest the thread and must say that I'm baffled: Goto's "instructions" are - SIMPLY said - a mix between non-existent and wrong... I love what Goto's did in my system... BUT I think I did more with "my own" care, "my own" taste, ...

Romy Hi, I do not know how the Alphas are configured crossover wise or how much 'sonic mad' they use, Avantgardes do not use compression drivers of course just slightly modified conventional cones ( I believe ) I have heard AG Trios the Cessaros are ...

It seems that I do agree with you about the sound of compression driver midbass.. at least from what I have heard in my own room.. I have heard the big ALE drivers you mention on a bent steel horn similar to what ALE builds, but of the owner's design...

Yes, both ends of the spectrum are tough to integrate with a quality MF.Of course, electrostats have no "push", but they seem to do all right (understatement) just supplementing way up there, in an array.The thing is, the "big" ribbons and 'stat...

Yes, it looks not particularly sexy but it I was made to fit and it is for sure very functional. You shall not worry about attractiveness as when I pile up on this thing TT and whatever else will be located on it then it will have completely differen...

For some reason I cannot post pics, they wont upload to the server so I cant select them.The way Aurios work is with 3 ball bearings rolling inside a round chanel, something like an inverted doughnut...top and bottom.On the center they have a bol...

Actually (probably because of the phase coherence and tight dispersion control) they sound very good even with some basic equipments, like the small 300 USD Parasound zAmp for example, but I like them most with the pro MC2 Audio MC1250 amps or the Fr...

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...

Unbelievable idiot! Last night an audio guy visited me and I played to him some music. I was not sitting in the listening spot but what stroked me was now stringent and how shallow the playback sounded. I was waling around the listening room, scratch...

Macman, the “annoying peaks above the usable frequency range” is something that your specific installation might have in context of your room and your acoustic system location but it might not be a characteristic ...

[quote user="noviygera"]My mid/upper horns play down to 190Hz. That is -- 188Hz is the Fs of the mid. It's a horn loaded a 10" Precision Device driver. So I need a section (or two sections) to cover the bottom (below 190hz). [/quote]

I'm off to by-amp my computer speakers with dedicated monoblocks.
Seriously, it does not seem impossible that these things might do "well" within a limited range ; I mean, if they were not called upon to also produce sound outside that range.... i...
