| Need a preamp with tone controls! Sorry @lak I have no idea, never heard any of the classic series. Kal Rubenstein at Stereophile praises it though! Internally, it is a much more substantial device compared to the P5. | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? FTR, I don’t mean to attack the OP. I find his questions reasonable and fair. I’m now just whining about the general FUD that has been lobbed. Sorry for the confusion. Best,E | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! The Parasound P5 and P7 both have tone controls, but not the JC-2. The P7 is a much better pre than the P5. | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! Tone controls help us compensate for differences in recording trends across decades of recordings. Tone controls help us adjust our sound quality to different listening situations and volumes. Tone controls help us adjust for speaker placement. To... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? I'm amazed at how "phase issues" and "comb filtering" have dominated the discussions about these speakers with few actually understanding what it means, or how you would measure it.The proof of the design is in plots of the on vs. off axis respons... | |

| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has participated in this thread so far. I was sure I would get a bunch of professional naysayers jumping in here to kill it, so I am pleasantly surprised by all of the positive contributions.Best,E | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Kosst, You don’t have to design them from scratch. Almost any kit is going to be a bargain by comparison. :) Huge price range too. Whatever you do, building an amp or speaker is a big learning opportunity, whether you design it all yourself, or so... | |

| Which Rotel icePOWER amps have balanced inputs ? ICEPower modules are inherently balanced inputs. So I would be surprised if they weren't all XLR capable.Best,E | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers I believe there has been some discussion on the Bifrost kits at DIY Audio, check out the mult-way forum there! http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/Erik | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers It is absolutely worth building and listening to a single driver design! I'm more conventional though, and go towards Focal/FaitalPro/MarkaudioThey won't replace my 2-way designs though! Erik | |

| Efficient bookshelf speakers for my office How efficient? I just posted a free design for a 91 dB single driver which can fit in a very small space. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2017/08/introducing-lm-1s.htmlI should mention, the design is free, I'm not making money except to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? mr_m:Oh, yeah, I could imagine. They like to use vertical AND horizontal arrays. It's a shame though, they seemed to take a lot of care to control dispersion and timing. Sucks to know they had issues like that. Best,E |
