Post Subject: So long, 2016Posted by Paul S on: 1/9/2016

I spent most of the past year trying to get more/better Big Music from my system. I played with (speaker) drivers and crossovers, and I also spent some quality time on my LP playback, in order to make this happen. I have posted some results in the “Analog” section of GSC, and I will say here that I “succeeded” in getting more lower-MF/upper-bass energy from my essentially-4-way Diamond Edition BassZilla speakers - which I think are about tapped out now - mostly by futzing with crossovers. Though I’m actually happy with the sound, I remain intellectually restless, and I continue to play with my many vintage drivers, with an eye on a multi-way, blended center channel. Most of these efforts are about increasing overall coherent energy in the room, along with “proper” soundstage/soundfield/frequency balance. The last really good-sounding center channel “stack” I had was very encouraging… apart from the fact that I need to sit farther away from it than the room allows! Oddly, my digital source continues to “fit in” with my analog changes. Busy, busy.

Joy and Peace to all of you through the coming year!
