| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Hmmmm.... The boss of the cable industry doesn't seem to have arrived. I don't understand. I was hoping he'd show up and tell us how Nelson Pass doesn't know what he's talking about or measuring. Guess I'll stop holding my breath. | |
| Roger Paul has passed away Being the guy who tormented the guy relentlessly for his sideways claims, I kinda wondered what happened to the guy. Still kinda curious to crack a case and see what the hell he was talking about. | |
| Why so many used focals? Focal sells a LOT of speakers compared to most other companies out there. They basically dominate every price point they sell at. If you're building $200,000 speakers, the FGU is the product to beat. If you're selling $10,000 speakers, the Kanta 2... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? Transformers provide nonlinear frequency response, not second harmonic distortion. One sucks, the other rocks. Why wouldn't you want to just connect the output devices directly to the speaker? That just sounds smart on it's face! | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... Tool was using Pass amps while tracking the new album....with the covers on all their gear.....because Joe Barresi isn't an idiot and is a real record producer with real awards under his belt. | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? The question does hinge somewhat on what you intend to drive. A SET can measure great into a 16 ohm resistor. It would crap it's pants driving my Focal speakers though. I don't consider feedback a universal evil. Like anything else, it requires pr... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish You don't even need to go up to the 1000 series in Focal's line to best some of the options suggested. 948's certainly best the Triton One. I'd be kinda interested to know what the OP's priorities are. I mean, if nobody really knows what those are... | |
| Small drivers vs big drivers I'm not sure the bending force on a small cone caused by the surrounded is actually a thing. Smallers cones are vastly stiffer than large ones and the resonance of the surround is so far out of the pass band of a woofer as to make no difference. W... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Not sure how Focal is out of the $5k price range seeing as how their speaker lines start in the 3 digits. | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong This is the problem with the whole "just listen to what it sounds like" argument and opposition to measurements. Listening doesn't necessarily correlate to the complex interactions of different components. If you look at what the individual parts ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Hi Mikey!What an irrelevant set of questions! This kind of questioning gives great insight into your complete lack of technical knowledge. Highly reactive speakers are tough loads to drive. That's just a fact. Lots of reactive speakers sound good ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Hombre,I think you need to start looking at actually measurements instead of taking a guys opinion as fact. Virtually all speakers are designed to be driven by voltage sources which is why virtually all amps are designed to be voltage sources. Dyn... | |
| The Science of Cables @cleeds Who cares? Measurementalists are free to conduct their own tests. I'd expect this kind of mindless quip from you. The OP asks a very rational question that clearly went clean over your head. How do you properly pair components if you do... | |
| Do electrolytic caps need burn in? @erik_squires Pass doesn't use ELNA silk caps. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" @ketchup I haven't heard of too many speakers pulling apart at the joints, but there's a guy over on the Double Impact thread who says the joints in his are pulling apart and cracking the paint enough he can see it from across the room. I don't pe... |
