| What is it that you don't like about your speakers ? Sound quality is so good I cant stop dancing about if on you can not do anything but enjoy music, conversation, reading etc all near impossible since the music is just so engaging. | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? Needs new carpet | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Kosst BSC made simple (and why it may be important to you) http://www.salksound.com/wp/?p=42 | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Horns can image as good as any other design its not a limitation of horns. But some are designed for even coverage off axis this may yield a slight reduction in image if used in a home set up but have a more even off axis response than audiophile... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? kosst reads about how things sound not listens. And adds so much unsupported BS like this gem [ Horns have problems that aren't cheap to fix] no list of problems no hands on experience with said problems. I say kosst why even comment on horns whe... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia? I have owned a good amount of LM and pass kit. So while I think the LM 845 would sound great compared to pass. I think in the long run you maybe disappointed. I had trouble dealing with LM US distributor and I have also had issues with PASS gear N... | |

| The midrange is the most important driver. If only 1 driver I would use a fullrange or a electrostatic. And I use a fostex fe168e sigmas in my 1920s pair of giant RCA MI front horns. | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. In many 2 ways tweeters have to cover much range thus can get costly and you may see tweeters costing more than woofers in such a set up. But in general you design a loudspeaker as a whole. Focusing on 1 aspect of a loudspeakers design as the most... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. if its a fullrange its the most important otherwise a loudspeaker is the sum of its parts and design | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? {Edgar Villchur started the controversy} Do agree that sellers of early AS stereo designs had to talk owners into buying 2 new speakers and getting rid of those old RCA Altec JBL Lowther WE horns. Wonder whats more usable and valuable today the... | |
| Not much discussion around MBL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrNOq41LGjs Love the design and the pair I heard sounded great but after I watched this vid I wonder about the use of foam in transducer elements since my findings are this type of foam degrades after about 10-15 ... | |
