| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? Kenji,I was going to leave you alone, but you have now gone too far. You lie, just as before.Your Green Mtn. speakers were not setup for you by a retailer. You purchased them from us, directly. I have your invoice, emails, Paypal receipt and shipp... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. I certainly agree that amplifiers and recordings make significant differences. To those I would add cables, followed by footers and many 'tweaks'. And synergy can often make a lovely difference.When I have discussed this topic of musicality with o... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX rebbi, We just began shipping the new HX version in early Jan. The feedback has been very positive, agreeing with what we've experienced here. However, those clients already own other GMA speakers and don't really get onto the speaker forums anymo... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? Well said, Rtilden, thanks! With no insult intended, those are the sort of folk who would not immediately understand Bombaywalla's quote, which bears repeating:"We believe there is a place that lives within us all. It is a place of vision and clar... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? Hi Bombaywalla,It is good to be back. Working on many new things that have just come out. Hope you are well.I thought a few folks might have posted their thoughts on my statements above, about how and why large audio manufacturers 'schedule' their... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? New technology is most often introduced to aid in marketing (even by the raw-driver factories). The technology typically does not make the sound noticeably better, perhaps just 'different'.For large speaker manufacturers such as B&W, new techn... | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? I would add the following:Imagine your amp to have a certain type of distortion. Perhaps it adds a graininess to the sound.If you send it a signal that is also grainy-sounding, then the amp's graininess will not ADD to the graininess in the signal... | |
| Sloped baffle Thanks, Tim. Good points.Best,Roy | |
| Sloped baffle Hi Bruce,A Zobel circuit for any driver makes its crossover circuit perform more to 'spec'. Zobels can result in a flat impedance curve, making life easier for an amp, but this does not always happen.The Zobel circuit for any voice coil is just a ... | |
| Sloped baffle Hi Lewinskih01,Thank you for the questions.1) The Classic woofer would go naturally to ~40Hz, then you would just fade in the subwoofer using its own its built-in crossover. There would be no crossover on the main speakers, which is a good thing. ... | |
| Sloped baffle You are looking to reduce your time incoherence, is how I would say it. And yes, moving the tweeter closer may have increased your Paradigm's incoherence. But the only way to tell is to have a friend help you swing, quite literally, an arc between... | |
| Sloped baffle You are quite welcome.I know what I write doesn't pose questions to you all. Instead, I've mostly laid out the facts and some science. It's up to you to use those to develop your own questions. This is how I proceeded back in the early 1970's, by ... | |
| Sloped baffle My goodness, I just glanced through the XO paper by Dr. Brüggemann. With all due respect, he is not right in many ways about how crossovers work! The technical details are far too lengthy for here, but I will point out that, in Fig. 8 on his page ... | |
| Sloped baffle Good questions.I do agree with what Bombaywalla just posted- knowledge and experience in many different areas is required. I know of no way out of that, to simplify a home-designer's life.Driver selection is by far the most important factor. If al... | |
| Sloped baffle Here are my answers to important questions posed earlier, and some clarifications.To the OP: Psag, you originally asked if a sloped baffle is important. Speaker designs that avoid this are instead using the phase shifts of their crossovers to make... |
