Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

Will try to answer all questions here.Romy: I understand why you do not wish to use the term “surround sound”, but it is the accepted term for what we are discussing. You may add other terminology, but it only muddies the debate until others accept i...

[quote user="Hugh"]The rewards of ideal speaker placement is something I've experienced as well and perhaps is related to DPLOS or possbily audio-moronism. While not easy to find or predictable between speaker brands the result is consistant.&n...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do use some vintage elements in my playback but I use them purposefully. I recognize their strengths and weaknesses and I capitalize on the strengths only. I think this is the only sane approach I see; when some vint...

atilsley169, I would ditch your request to define term high-end. I think you might do it for yourself if the defining of the term is important to you. Your second question however is very interesting. You ask if the purchase of a $20k speaker in itse...

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...

Some background first... My first initial foray into buying some decent speakers took me onto the path of Quad 57's, they had their limitation that are well documented i.e. sweet spot, not the most extended treble and not a speaker for a party.....

Mani,
I would leave the subject of DSET/horn setup for another thread and would drop a few words about Zu Druids. They are not the speakers that I would ordinary comment but since I have a local guy with Zu Druids and I had a chance to hear th...

Your Typical Acoustical Suspension-type Loudspeaker enclosure witch has less then 90 db at 1 watt does not belong with a horn system that starts at 110db at 1 watt, even when you ad more then 1 driver, it is still way to far off to even consider usin...

After planning out the exit strategy for my DSP crossover, I am resuming my first Single Ended Pentode 307a tube amp project, the one mentioned earlier. I'd like to approach this with a certain degree of understanding so I have re-read carefully all ...

Hello every body, I live in France and I'm new on this forum.I'm thinking to build (some months) a mono big Single Ended amplifier (200-300 watts) made with triodes (IDHT or DHT doesn't matter for me) for outdoor professional audio.Have you got an on...

Romy,let me step up to the plate and get shot in the foot or what ever. A lot of what you relate is of course right - BUT, 'where the is smoke - there is a fire" as the saying goes.So, there must be a reason for this 'abnormal' notice of honking horn...

[quote user="perrew"] ….. is there any chance of a speaker/horn of this type sounding good compared to a conventional monitor… [/quote] Perrew, there is absolutely no reasons or any imaginary rational in this type of speaker to use horns besides to m...

[quote user="morricab"]Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty...

Had some fun experimenting with 6e5p driver stage.playing with difrent output transformrs and resistors found that the stage can drive a speaker with ground connected to air. mabye this is widley know i did not know. + of speaker connected to bad ou...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]HookEm, I could only advised you on methodological aspect as I do not extend any recommendations about purchasing decisions. The 17x15 x11 is a very large room for a single driver speaker. If you insist to use a single dri...

[quote user="Paul S"]Amir, what you say and the simple way you put it is indeed a very important consideration for speaker/amp matching, and it is something that one must actually hear and cultivate in the first place. Since there is no way to emperi...

Sure, it is not a big deal to listen a single-driver speaker. However, if we presume that by means of audio means we are able to make any difference in auditable experiences, and if to capitalize on this difference is you objective (of the object...

Positioning your speakers in your room is one of the most complicated tasks. The advanced and audio- experienced audio people can position speakers with 5-10 inch precision and get OK result (as far as they concern) but here is where everything only ...

In my over 50 years of personal audio, I think that I can explain part of the speaker/amp compatibility. This opinion is everything but comprehensive.Bad matches in amp/speakers manifest themselves very often in the bass. Please consider, these thoug...

Among many outrages foolishness that are so common among the people who going high-end audio one of the most ridicules is use of Single-Ended Triodes and low sensitivity speakers. The people who have db-meters between their ears instead of brain are ...

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room ...

I have had the same experience. I have experimented extensively with tightening and loosening the screws that mount the speakers to the baffle. I have done this with the plain wood and also by placing a gasket in between and tightening it down, simil...

[quote user="Simon"] I hope to hear your impressions of the extent of the differences between the Macondos with the waterdrops and new stands to how they may have sounded previously. [/quote]
Yes, there are differences between the “tripoded” Macondo...

I just came back from Stereophile Show in NYC. A couple of observations. Haniwa's FPIC-100 DSP seems to be nothing but a typical DSP with digital crossover/equalizer/delay with auto feedback through a microphone set at the liste...

The Lavry DA-924 and Sansui TU-X1 are on separate equipment legs/chains and only come together at inputs to the amplifier. They also are on separate uninterruptible power supplies that are on separate legs of our wall supplies. Also,...
