| Why not horns? Ralph, I'm glad we have found common ground on the horn issue after butting heads on single ended Vs. balanced, and I understand your point about phase shift in crossovers, but trying to do time alignment by phase shift in crossovers seems to me t... | |
| Why not horns? Macro, you are a bit off base on that one. It is one of the common misconceptions in audio. Your description of being physically aligned is correct but your description of phase and polarity isn't.A difference in phase means a difference in time. ... | |
| Why not horns? Mapman, I see, then my horns are very laid back using your definition. IMHO this has everything to do with how speakers are place in the room and very little to do with the type of speaker. Don't let comments like those from Unsound dissuade you. ... | |
| Best Recorded Vinyl Albums too many to distill it down to 5 all time but here are some good ones I've listened to latelyTracy Chapman - Tracy ChapmanSteve Earle - The MountainLouis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King OliverAllison Krauss- New StationThe Mavericks - Music for all... | |
| Why not horns? I have my own ideas but what do you mean by forward and laid back? I would not describe my horns as forward. I would say the are transparent and very revealing so bad recordings are revealed as such.. | |
| Why not horns? Johnk, do you have a link to that. I assume you aren't talking about the system you have posted here. | |
| directional cables? I did not read your post. I believe it is best to just drop it and move on since it is readily apparent that one or both of us is too pig headed to ever back down. I've got a pretty good idea who I think it is but you may disagree. I'll leave it t... | |
| directional cables? Jea, to or through really doesn't make a difference as they both imply that current is flowing like cars through a tunnel or water through a hose, and the only thing flowing in an AC circuit is energy. The whole debate has been to show that nothin... | |
| Why not horns? Macrojack, the folded horn you asked about is one of a thousand variations on the same idea. I can't speak to that particular model but as a general design it works pretty well if done right but has a few problems. You have parallel side walls whi... | |
| directional cables? Jea, assuming a sine wave generator, If you look at the output of the generator you will see a voltage that does alternate between positive and negative in a sinusoidal fashion. During one half cycle it is trying to push the negative charges in on... | |
| Why not horns? I'll chime in on the digital crossover question. My basshorns are 16 feet in a 28 foot room. It would be theoretically possible to physically time align if I sat against the far wall but for the sake of space I use Pure Vinyl running on a Mac Mini... | |
| directional cables? Jea, There are positive and negative charges and they are what they are. They do not change from positive to negative. In the case of a wire there are negative charges in motion but in some mediums there are + charges in motion and in some there a... | |
| directional cables? Q, your turn.I believe I did answer those questions but it really isn't germane to the debate. You can ask me if the moon is made of cheese but unless it addresses the original point of contention it doesn't pertain. I will answer again to appease... | |
| directional cables? Jea, yes, the charge is vibrating back and forth with the electrons. Charge is not current. Electric current is the movement of charge like current in a river is the movement of water. It makes sense to use current with DC since the charges are in... | |
| Why not horns? Mapman, that system looks impressive but that big white "bass horn" with the big driver is not a true bass horn. My bass horn is 16 feet long and gets down below 40 Hz. That is simply a woofer with a flared opening.Jhonk, I realize how physically ... |
