Post Subject: The "null" effectPosted by Paul S on: 2/23/2007
Yes, that's just what I was referring to.  In my case, it seems to happen just as the ribbon's own apparent contribution "vanishes".

Another thing I noticed was that as this happens the mids also take on a more natural/realistic relationship with the HF and LF, almost like the "mids" "disappear", too, in the sense that the "fabric" of the usual hi-fi MF event is no longer a constraint but rather something of the MF notes' "choosing".  It may be that a nice MF horn is more predisposed to display this than my own yellow drivers to begin with, but the DX4s are pretty fast at reasonable volumes, and I thought it was an interesting phenomenon, worth mentioning, which I associate directly with the ribbon HF "null" effect. 

Could I be more vague?

I am not so practiced at finding words to describe aural experiences, so I hope this is clear from experience.

And since I am using only garden-variety Audaphon JP2.0s right now, this may mean that the price of admission is not so stratispheric as some might have supposed.  Of course it goes without saying that it's every man for himself in terms of system development and integration ;>Wink

Best regards,
