Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Tmsorosk, Please rephrase your question so that we are all clear. High efficiency: Legacy, Klipsch, VMPS... Which one does not have control with the right amp?Or was it Low Efficiency? 
Hi efficient speaker, bass problems
Hi Tmsorosk, As mentioned above by others, control is a function of an amplifier, but there is no doubt that High sensitivity speakers typically show the dynamics and control of an amplifier easier. As far as grip and control. I am using a 86db, 4... 
Go for sub or larger speakers?
Hi Sashav, Alot of opinions here. My experience says, if you like the sound of your smaller speakers and your amp will power them properly for the room your are in, you are fine and can achieve wonderful results with a subwoofer. You can run into ... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
I am in St. Louis, we actually did ok, sold 12, then Pioneer on low end, Arcam, in middle, PS Audio Plus several other things. Over all the real question is just why did we close? I had a partner, whe became less and less connected with the busine... 
How close to the real thing?
Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy your families, see you back in the threads... Tim 
How close to the real thing?
Maybe we... someone... anyone can come up with a chart and modifiy it until there is a concensus...I agree that it is near impossible to make a system sound truly "live", but I still say 5% is rediculously low. Edison's 1st phono may be 5%, but Wh... 
Dear Fellow SC IVA owners
Pryso, you are thinking right. A very basic description would be, Stepped baffle is putting the tweeter behind the same plane of the woofer to align voice coils. (kinda like a stairstep) That is why I called it voice coil alignment in my earlier p...

Hi Pryso, the wool was strictly diffraction control. I agree with you on the subwoofer points also. 
Dear Fellow SC IVA owners
Also, Just looked at the SCIVA... The only thing in common with D'Appolito is that they use a wmtmw arrangement. Totally different design parameters. These Dunlavy's are extremely well thought out speakers. Dunlavy achieves time alignment through ... 
Dear Fellow SC IVA owners
Hello all, I have researched D'Appolito designs quite a bit and built my first speakers in 1979. "A true D'Appolito design requires a 3rd order 18bd per octave crossover allowing the drivers to have the same horizontal dispersion characteristics".... 
Totem Forest, Zu Soul, or Superfly
Hi Hifiharv, Well, you might have stepped on a few toes, those were good suggestions. For what is worth, I am using the same HiVi woofers from your Forest in a mtm that I have built. I am keenly aware of their capabilities. I am sorry to say that...

Weseixas...KT88's? UT or Triode? 
How close to the real thing?
Hi Mapman, I was speaking to an old friend of mine who built equipment 35 years to 25 years ago and hasn't built since. He was just telling me that he just might start building again considering the improvements in parts ie, speed, linearity, etc.... 
Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature
Thanks Coffee, so there you go, mine and Coffeey's look identical other than display color. 
Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature
Hi Ucanhear2, My unit is a one of a kind. Doug had parts of a few units around and built this... My front panel looks like Coffeey's unit, except, I have a red display and right of the knob, my unit says Coda, I believe Coffeey's say Continuum... ...
