| Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond Is an interesting comparison as to which method of damping produces the best result in dealing with certain distortions, high damping or internal damping. High damping meaning the ability to resist distortions due to increased rigidity or internal... | |
| Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond A breakup node that is outside the audible band will impact the audible band by IM distortion. Using red book, most metal domes will have a breakup above the FR range. Analog and true hires recordings can have energy that may cause the driver dist... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s In general, the speakers can range from 6ft-10ft, center to center. Going wide may create an overly diffuse sound that don't provide a good center fill. Narrower would hinder the sound stage overall and the ability to place across. There isn't a m... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s The mirror method will get the primary reflection, which is the more important of reflections to contend with. The area of the wall adjacent to the speaker will have reflections that will likely hit other points of the room well before it hits th... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s Just to clarify, I'm assuming you mean the edge of the speaker being about ten inches from the side wall, which is generally too close to a side wall to prevent first reflections from the wall from image smearing.What happens in this case is that ... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s You won't need an additional sub with the F208's with the output going nicely down to the 20's in rather well. It's front ported, so it makes some aspects about rear boundary wall distance a bit less of a fuss. You also have a boundary compensatio... | |
| B&W 702s or Revel F208s I would stick to the Revel over Focal. The Aria 936 can't match the Revel lower bass response, doesn't have as well damped cabinet, and presents a bit a load on a partnering amp. The Revel IMHO, is step up from this Focal model. | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel The moment they released the 3rd Avenue series as a replacement for all prior lines, it was over and done with. Jim Thiel speakers were special and it revolved around the principles that was engineered into each product.Coincident drivers, time an... | |
| Magico A3 Other than you can have it any color you want, so long as its black, its very impressive release. It appears that many builders are targeting this price point, each with a distinctive approach. Just a few off hand, Dynaudio Contour 60, Revel F228B... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II Being voiced and bright are not mutually exclusive and B&W is another example of a voiced design. Bad, good, all the ear of the beholder but as you said, its not exactly a forgiving design and you didn't mention the source material as its ofte... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II In this grouping, the MA's are going to be the only speakers that will be full range in room. It faces an issue with integration of the AMT tweeter and the mid range, but I'm sure that isn't surprising and will need a bit more setup work in room i... | |
| Persona 3f vs B&W 802D2s B&W have a few design principals and it makes their sound a specific taste. The first and for most important being they are a very mid range forward design and the intent being to create an immediate and palpable vocal performance. They use th... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? @shadorne Completely ignoring the point and instead demonstrating some odd ideology that isn't mat-sci. The notable aspect about Stereophile measurement is the result is system based, which I do not know if the Seas is the same and can not be comp... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? If a Be tweeter is properly constructed, there won't be any ringing in the audible band and well above it. While it has very low internal damping, implemented properly it is considered what would be called high damping, so rigid that it really doe... | |
| Advantages of beryllium? In terms of the diaphragm, both Al and Ti have very similar stiffness with a given density. So when shaped, the weight will be quite similar between the to when targeting a specific stiffness performance, but the titanium part will thin in compari... |
