| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Cinematic_systems...In a passive crossover, power does indeed "go to ground", but it goes through the drivers, which is the whole point of the thing. The power "wasted" by notch filters is minimal, unless the drivers are truly aweful.The 10 AWG ai... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Sean...Of course I am a long time believer in biamping, but I do think that the original reason (and I am talking about 50 years ago) was to avoid intermodulation distortion. Power amps have improved so that this is no longer a significant issue. ... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer deq2496remote@xs4all.nl...I did buy a second one for my rear channels. In addition to generally improving the sound by eliminating all the room resonances, I found that level matching of my multichannel system was much improved. Apparently the res... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Fishboat...Mention of the MG1.6 is just to clarify what speakers I am making amp power observations about. I also have Dynaudio Gemini speakers, small (5" woofers) MTM boxes, and these also responded well to power increases up to 450 watts (4 ohms... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean I don't know why, but I have found that every increase in power (up to 600 watts) for my MG1.6 speakers has improved the sound. I don't think it is the power per se, but some other characteristic that tends to go along with high power capability.F... | |
| What is a Transcription Turntable Rushton...Good info. Some audiophiles used to use transcription tables, and one reason was the longer arm which supposedly made for better tracking. At 33 rpm I would have expected a 16 inch disc to give play time longer than 15 minutes. Also, I t... | |
| Problem with bass managment with many universals- Bass management is a can of worms! The way I solved the problem is to tell my source equipment that I have no subwoofer, so that anything in the LFE channel (and in many cases there is nothing) gets mixed into Left and Right. Then my electronic cr... | |
| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? Nsgarch..."enough frivolity"? You must be on the wrong website!But if you insist...the "really early rubber-impregnated cloth and the corrugated paper types" actually work very well for drivers that do not require large excursion, or low free air ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...The link works.Here is an idea...Angle the speakers a bit more and/or move your chair up so that the Maggies are Edge-on to the listener. Edge-on would be a null (invisible) orientation for a dipole speaker, and would explain what you hear... | |
| Treatment for rubber speaker surrounds? If you use the right kind of product on your speakers you can probably get the surrounds unglued from the cones. | |
| Setting 6-ch. levels isn't as easy as you think LFE levels are all over the place, and of course, SW level is greatly affected by the room. I would do it by ear.One problem that I encountered relates to frequency response. By this I mean room effects: not the equipment. I recently installed equ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...I saw several diagrams on AA, and they just confused me. I think I know now what you are saying. You are most certainly hearing sound directly from the speakers, but somehow that sound is being combined with the reflected sound in such a w... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...As I understand your setup, your chair is about 15 feet from the reflecting wall, and the speakers are about 9 feet from the wall. So the speakers are between you and the wall. In this situation you will hear more than 50 percent of the so... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? TWL...FWIW...Definition of an Engineer...Someone who can do, for a dollar, what any damn fool can do for ten. Henry Kloss was an Engineer.I think that the only reason you get so much flack is the price. I, and probably others, know that excellent ... | |
| Anyone heard Underwood level1 3910 mod? I am well satisfied with my Underwood mod to a Denon 2900. I do not have another player for side by side comparison, but I do believe that the sonics are better. Certainly the workmanship, evident by removing the cover, is top drawer. Apart from t... |
