| Full range drivers with piezoelectric tweeters Back in my old days, we did a ton of work with piezo's... some are crap others pretty good, Most people think they are terrible, but I've gotten some great results with some old Motorola's or the current CTS brands....I haven't found any others th... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV extra tweeter felt? The felt help remove peaks in response that can happen because of cabinet design... We were doing this in the late 70's... Felt can make a serious improvement in cutting defraction... depends on the drive and cabinet. | |
| Which? Muse model 100 amp or Acurus DIA100 integrated? I would take the Muse also. For me no contest. | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Every component that I've ever had, preamp, amp, dac, etc, has benefited sonically by leaving it on. Even tubes, I eventually turned off my tube gear to save on life, but on long lasting pre amp tubes, I did experiment over a few weeks never turni... | |
| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? Sorry height is 48 inches | |
| Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters? I don't know of anything that does all that you want... Legacy Audio Signature SE comes the closest... AMT Mid & Tweeter, goes down to 22 hz. Height is 18 inches. Footprint is not crazy in size. I didn't see you mention a price. Bill does good... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. From 1 brand to another, you can find an amp, preamp, speaker etc, that spec very close or in the electronic side, even identical. I suspect, everyone listed above on this thread would hear the difference between the 2 amps, pre amps or speakers. ... | |
| Help Me Choose a Preamp you have 2 great pre's on you list... Muse makes a great preamp in the 3 signature. I have seen them as low as $800. This is great at that price point | |
| vintage versus modern speakers Rockanroller, here is my feeble minded attempt to explain voltage paradigm for those that share my huge intellect. A Voltage paradigm amplifier is one that is capable of maintaining its voltage output at any given impedance, say from 2 to 16 ohms.... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers If I recall correctly, Nelson did not design any SAE stuff. I believe that Jim Bonjiorno did that basic design on your amp, although I know that Ed Miller put his hands in several amps of that era also. Since I've chimed in... My 2 cents on the sp... | |
| Plugging ported speakers and active Xovers Trying it won't hurt a thing, but it is way beyond where the port tuning is... an average port tuning is at approximately 30hz, with that port, your woofer is augmented to deliver accurate bass at a much lower frequency than in a sealed box... whe... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Another vote for speakers 1st... cables are respectable, but definite improvements are available. | |
| Altec A7 What to do Gvasale, I wasn't thinking woofer's horn load itself, yes, cabinet bracing on this speaker is poor, just a few in key area's will go along way. Thank you, Tim | |
| USHER 8871 Tweeter Drive You may take the diaphragm out and check for the slim possibility that the break in the voice coil wire goes from the terminal to the start of the coil winding. I have had that happen a couple of times and have been able to successfully resolder, ... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Thanks Ralph, dynamat is on my radar, yearsAgo I had a store and we used this in doorsAnd even trunks, I'm also thinking about possibly looking at some self stick flooring materials. If I can find one pliable enough and cut carefully, it could loo... |
