| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? You are correct, this shows a lot of experience in being rude.... That's the point... telling people that they don't count.... opinions without supporting experience is just noise. Read through the post, enough was said... No one has said at all... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Johnk, you have a wealth of knowledge and experience, but your last post just told EVERYONE else that they don't matter. That your opinion/Experience is the only one that is right or counts. 2nd time in this thread that you've done that... I und... | |
| Tekton Pendragons or Lore Loudspeakers I have not heard the Pendragons. I have sat in front of the regular Lore... Once with a Mystere Integrated and once with a First watt driven by a Wadia Dac pre.... My buddy eventually sold them off, he replaced them with a small pair of Sonus Fab... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Hi Marty, I don't mind going to take a look at whatever that you would like me to read. For this discussion, it isn't necessary. You quoted that Most 8 inch woofers distort Horribly at 85 db output... Well, with most 8 inch woofers that is less t... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Hi Mike & Al, I'm thinking back to the late 70's & early 80's. We hand measured all our own drivers, we listened to each driver individually for beaming/dispersion characteristics, based upon the basics of each driver, we chose crosso... | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? If you are asking for advice about which one for you???? It depends on what you are trying to achieve. This is all general and a given piece can make it all wrong...So, In general, If you are after that So called Tube Bloom and you have pieces th... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Ok, to push the discussion a little further... In reality, you can design an 8 inch 2 way to be somewhere around 3db down at 35 hz and still go out to 2k to blend with a tweeter. Of course, every 8 cannot do this... Way back, I had a peerless w... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Quote: The big unaddressed question from the OP is "What constitutes 'relatively clean'". At 85db in a mid-sized room, most 8" woofers are distorting horribly. The good news is that the ear isn't terribly sensitive at such low frequencies, so y... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Hi Inna, In general, not absolutes... 8 inch woofers that go down well, don't go out well in the midrange. That's why you see so many 5 or 6 inch 2 ways, the smaller drivers go out in the midrange better. Again no absolutes, I have certainly se... | |
| How loud in DB, Is "cranking it" Everyone has different tolerances, I like listening to small jazz ensembles or symphony at what I would say are "live" levels.... The problem is what is that? A live Rock concert can hit peaks of 124 db and 121 db is the normal threshold of pain... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? This whole thread has gotten out of hand to me... I can accept that something very old can still sound good, but to put the idea forward that things have not progressed since 1930 is crazy!You know, I can still talk on my cell phone, I guess ph... | |
| Audio research 100.2 any good ????? I made the recommendation for the Belles on the Thread that I posted here for Nesto719 to review. I agree, Belles is huge bang for the buck pieces. The Aria is 75 watts and the Coda that I posted above is over 300, both are excellent pieces. | |
| Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000?? Looks like that you have mainly concentrated on Tube Pre's. I'm sure that you'll bet a lot of options..In Solid State, here are 3 Huge value pieces, all 3 can be had for less than your budget.Audio Research LS9Coda CP (has phono)Bel Canto Pre 2 ... | |
| Is upgrading pre worth it? Its not close, if the funds are not a problem, I wouldn't blink to getting a good pre | |
| Audio research 100.2 any good ????? There is a Coda CSI listed here on Agon right now.... Very nice integrated. |
