| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? Last I checked Wilson modified tweeters themselves, or at least they do for some of them. I like building, restoring, and modifying my electronics, but I really don't think it's possible to build a speaker on a $5000 that touches what a $5000 comm... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I really can't emphasis enough the necessity to put the best possible amplification behind those speakers. Something that doesn't quiver at all in the face of a 2 ohm load. Focal voices their speakers with Naim amps so their integrated amps might ... | |
| McIntosh (MC601) amplifier overheating problem @aball Might I suggest simply reporting figgythink's accusatory, argumentative, meaningless posts rather than gracing them with a response. | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? I completely agree with Elizabeth and Erik. It's real easy to get nasty treble when it's bouncing all over a reflective room and that jazz needs tamed. | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I've got 936's and they're getting their juice from a modified Pass F5 doing about 32 watts. It effortlessly drives them as loud as I like. I'm about as far from mine as you are from yours so I'd consider that kind of power ideal. I personally thi... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I'm trying to wrap my mind around those room dimensions! How are things set up and what's your distance? | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? To the wider audience...Nope, I haven't heard any really great home horn systems. I have heard hundreds of big, honky horns in bars, clubs, theaters, and arenas though. JBL are some of the worst I've ever heard. JBL horns are what Pine Knob has in... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @mrdecibel I try to get down there once or twice a year. I doubt I'll have a chance until the holidays, but I'll be down eventually. I'll message you then. | |
| preamp inverts polarity No, it's not. We had this discussion a while back. Phase has to do with time. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? My daughter goes to a private boarding school that's got a fairly decent theater and church to perform in and they've got a full choir, a bell choir, a full orchestra, and several quartets. I've heard them all in the theater and the choir and quar... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I'll agree with most of the above, and most of that is exactly why I dislike horns. I've never attended an acoustic performance that sounded anything like what I've heard through a horn system. A quartet doesn't sound room filling or enveloping. I... | |
| Understanding peak current in amplifiers and AC power distributors The only relationship between how much amperage an amp can reliably output and what it pulls from the wall is found in the transformer turns ratio. Yeah, there's ways to very briefly cheat that, but you're not talking about very high quality perfo... | |
| What is the most important component in your system. I don't think there's any technical argument to oppose the appropriate combination of speakers and amplifier. Most sources and components will drive the succeeding stage competently with little deviation if some vague consideration it applied. Not... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Ok, mechy-boy... Glad you feel that way. You'll be the first guy I call when I sell them. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? That's not even remotely true of my Focals, or a wealth of other speakers I've listened to. |
