My experiences would confirm that much of what gives depth to “silence”, does indeed lie in low the frequencies.
In order to keep peace with my neighbor (even at very low listening levels), after 10:00 PM, I absolutely must attenuate the ultra-low...

I feel a driver needs to be somewhat hard-mounted to the enclosure. Cork gives the right sort of balance between hard-mounting and floating, while still sealing, however it would be a pain to cut that many gaskets from cork sheet.In your place, ...

Hello Rony,
No, I've never heard a DB Systems-modified AirPort Express.
You might start by buying AirPort Express from Apple (89€); this should give you some insight... If you sense it has further potential, then (since you are in France) you could...

Well I spoke too soon; from the second I posted word that I'd found an internet station with a fantastic play list they started playing all sorts of militaryesque crap (marches and the like, which I hate! Lots of Mozart...), and they're still at it. ...

I discovered a station I really like, with a good percentage of "content-loaded" music, and in any case, a playlist FULL of surprises :

Why no amount of watts will compensate for direct-radiation :Start with the obvious : When compared to either multiple direct-radiating drivers or a single horn-loaded driver, to achieve the same SPL, a single direct-radiating driver must work harder...

Wow, 6 x 15" drivers (!!!); though the curved profile certainly imparts rigidity, I'm guessing this horn must resonate more than a bit (no bracing until the mouth) -- but I like this thing.
Interesting, the phase plug-like device...
