| Vinyl(the other kind) I've got oversized patio doors along 80% of one wall where I listen. They're covered with S curve vertical blinds. The blinds are far more dead than the glass. Rotating them open a bit makes a difference as they then kinda suck some sound out of t... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? This isn't a thread about horns. This is a thread about the controversy surrounding horns. I've presented a wide variety of reasons and opinions that have been systematically challenged every single time. Yet when somebody else reiterates a point ... | |
| The midrange is the most important driver. If the human ear is most sensitive to frequencies up around 4000Hz, which it is, wouldn't the quality of the tweeter be most important? | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @mrdecibel You're honest about the matter. You get the impression in this thread horns are just inherently perfect and invulnerable to criticism. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Oh.... Are you saying what I stated earlier that horns are too difficult to design and build cheap enough that they're not an option worth considering for the vast majority of people not looking to blow 6 figures on a rig? Kinda sounds like it. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I don't see horns on the rise. I take the failure and withdrawal of Klipsch's Palladium line as a strong indication that there isn't a significant market for horns. | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? @wolf_garcia They interfere with the sound less if they dance on a more near field pole. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I'm scouring the interwebz over here. I can't find ANY hifi shops that deal in horns. Either I'm missing it, or nobody in the midwest likes horns. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I'm not saying measurements have much to do with personal taste. Some folks love the sound of horns, others huge baffle deals like DeVores and the big BBC clones. Some neither. These Focals I'm listening to at the moment have tweeters mounted in b... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Can somebody explain to me how this topic is technical talk? Would I be mistaken in thinking these threads are just soap boxes? | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? My big complaint is the dining room. It kinda throws things off a bit and makes things a little trickier but I think I've got it decently handled. | |
| shrink wrap film residue- how to remove If I were in your shoes, I'd go and talk to people who actually work in repairing that kind of finish instead of just trying things. I'd talk to guys at a body shop who do top notch custom body work. It may be that it needs to be buffed out. I'm s... | |
| Can't we all just get along? The snake oil crowd just rubs some of us the wrong way. I'm not sure why, but these guys seem to crop up in lots of hobbies. For cars you've got those who like to stick magnets on their fuel lines, put weird metal things in their intake, or believ... | |
| shrink wrap film residue- how to remove I wish I had good news for you, but shrink wrap is well known to ruin some finishes because the polymer chains are pretty reactive. It’s so reactive, in fact, that you can use it to purify corked wine. Maybe somebody has a fix, but the problem is ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions I'll second the Paradigm and Maggie suggestions, but waver on the Focal and Wilson. Those are speakers where the quality of every component before them will be more noticable. I think they might have more of the sonic characteristics sought after ... |
