de Charlus,I don't think that you are taking the posts the way that they were meant.Your initial post started with a collection of what you consider to be the finest drivers for specific tasks. That is just fine and you may well be correct.The real j...

Haralanov, I partially know what you are talking about and I got my sense of it when I added the Fundamentals and Insertion channels. They both are position above MF and act as nice compliment to Macondo upperbass horn. I still do not know if the...

Romy says "what does make you to scare: the sound that orchestra produces of the meaning and Bruckner’s expressions?"
I don't think there is "meaning" in the sense of particular ideas in music. It can suggest different images or emo...

[quote user="kodomo"]Great project! I have a similar project going on. Your frame ideas are looking beautiful, however I decided to take a more utilitarian road. I can adjust all my channels in horizontal or vertical axis. I am finishing my crossover...

[quote user="Paul S"]Of course the idea of "minimal" needs context and a priori determinants, like any idea at all, and I don't see that the Regas belong in this particular discussion, at least at this particular point. OTOH, the Continuum is anothe...

I went to THE Show again this year, along with a couple of audio friends. This year I was better prepared, with preconceived notions about what I wanted to see/hear, and where to find that gear. I did not try to “cover” the show, at all. I just wa...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not understand what does it mean. Are you saying
that you lost bottom response with closed exit hole on the driver back? If with
the closed drift from back you have a (loaded!) response no lower than 200Hz then it i...

First of all, if you have
multiple of PP3000 then be advices that them connected in parallel substantially
descries sound quality for each of them. Then might be use ONLY at different
phases of some measures should be taken to decuple them by othe...

It looks to me that I will be able to live with my 6 driver
line array. Again no measurements were made but it is what it “looks”. Sound-wise it is very reputable and I just might
leave it as is. My current room is 6 larger to what I had in downto...

...especially about the difficulty of making a transparent preamp. It seems to be a general concensus.
But I need gain for most of my sources apart from perhaps the FM ...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. However, in my view this lang...

The other day I was listening to a friend´s system with nice Avalon speakers, only one 10" seemed to be enough, of course it seemed we were playing house when listening to music, everything was small and very nice and pretty...Now when matc...

There are many ways to deal with EAR-843PT. To my ears it works wonderfully, this in my case it coupled with Expressive Technologies ET2 transformer that probably takes in totally new league. I kind of so addicted to this transformer that I even run ...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

Andy 1) Actually the most interest was in the fact that I was not asking two questions but one question at the same time as I see both of the questions are inner-related. I was under presumption tha...

Recordings are listed by year of release:
"The Lord's Prayer" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Emile Berliner. (ca. 1888)

Ok... Assuming the lack of time alignment is compensated for via a DSP:
There are likely large chunks of the frequency spectrum that go un addressed, and equally large chunks that are mall-addressed.
I would say that there are two main ranges ...

It is well known fact that all loudspeaker enclosures contribute to the sound of a given acoustic system to some degree. Unfortunately the resonances of the baffles have constant monochrome character and if they are too prominent there is always ...

[quote user="drdna"] This implies that it is up to the stereo equipment to determine the perception and perhaps there can be one ideal stereo system. While it is consistent with what is observed, it means that there is no human variation in listening...

My Grandma died. She was in her 90s…
The funeral was next morning. I learned about Grandma in the beginning of the day but a lot of little pathetic errands did not allow me to leave for Philadelphia right the way, not to mention that there was...

for my critique of "imaging" I do reject the mindless way the term is
used these days, particularly when musical perception is equated with
visual perception and visual logic and terminology are used to discuss

Hi Romy,
Sunfire? No! Who would add a Sunfire to this system? The black box in the pictures a power amplifier for the midbass horn.
A second MF could be interesting. I will see if we can do some test set up of this. Per has the space for it...
