Romy, thanks a lot for your response. I have no idea how come I did not come across your website years ago. I found it a few days ago and I spent many hours reading it. I am greatly intrigued by the Milq and I have some follow up questions, I hope so...

[quote user="slack key"]I know that speaker position and room acoustics are important. I use a laser to align the speakers, room treatments, hallographs, crystals, ionizer, Z-sleeves, bybee filters, etc. I also have power conditioners, installed de...

Positioning your speakers in your room is one of the most complicated tasks. The advanced and audio- experienced audio people can position speakers with 5-10 inch precision and get OK result (as far as they concern) but here is where everything only ...

It is a good question that I also asked when I saw this speaker. Afterall, everything being equal using the same materials for the drivers is more optimal from a coloration standpoint. My guess is cost. They already had splurged for...

A guy visited me today and while I was playing to him some music an ides stroke me: how to make ULF channels invisible? I have given birth to a ridicules ides to make huge, 40hz, no-cheating horns in time-aligned position absolutely invisible in list...

I tried the ML2s via their 16 Ohm taps, even though my speakers drop to 4R at about 80 Hz before going back up their average 8 Ohms at 30 Hz. The overall sound off the 16 Ohm taps was more balanced and integrated top top bottom, ...

Romy,In response to your response to what I did not say but implied....I decided to put the question here instead, where the light of enquirey might shine upon several different facets of investigation.Firstly, I'm still interested to know if you are...

I THINK I managed to macro position by ear from to your advice. I did the tango with my bookshelf speakers and listened for evenness and bloom in the 80-500Hz area (filtered out the rest with EQ).Yellow marks the first hot spot I found, and then went...

I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still weren't something that comple...

Jarek, how many 10" Scanspeaks do you think it would take to get way down in your room? And remember that, according to Romy, the "best sounding" Dannoy, the heart of this speaker system, still only plays up to 90 db peaks (70 dB continuous with seri...

Since I haven't complained about it for a couple of days, my company truck's CD player is so bad that it gets almost nothing right, ever.Still, while subjecting myself to this singularly terrible sound, I began to notice that every so often some ...

Last two weeks I play a strange game with myself while I am waking in my room. I walk soft like a Cat and really pay attention where I lend my leads, I afraid to step on anything. Nope, I did not pawn my Cat and got a hamster. What I afraid to step o...

There are those who claim to drive some of the big vintage speakers with SETs at AA. Like those ancient top models from University, Wharfdale, Tannoy, etc., etc. Not that this is the same as an objective approach.I've heard it tried ...

Another hobby that I'm involved with is saltwater aquariums. People used to enter the hobby as children when they would get their first 10 gallon aquarium as gift or hand me down. Now kids would rather play video games then actually mess with a hobby...

I saw those speakers in Munich High End from behind the window,and didn't even entered the room to hear. But if I knew they were erectable I would have certainly go into the room! I feel very sorry for this. Presence of that lady in the room is becau...

Well, I have just taken receipt of my Orelo speakers (pic attached) - the bigger version of the Orelino speakers, with 3x 15" bass drivers per channel as opposed to 3x 12" drivers.I realize that Romy doesn't regard the coaxial BMS mid/high compressio...

I did wonder about what recordings would have been used through these speakers back in the late 20's. The electronic recording of music only began in around 1926, prior to that the recordings were entirely acoustic. (although some of those acoustic r...

Dear Romy,I have completed testing on my machines and am now satisfied with the results.I have three output sections of the FM tuner able to be switched easily on my amplifier for instant comparison.a) [FM tuner FIXED ANALOG OUTPUT] -> [...

The thought of an arrary of images well forward of the speakers is troubling, but - other factors being equal - I love it when I get +/- that sort of thing behind the speakers along with sound energy from the "performance" th...

[quote user="Paul S"]By far the most promising planar speakers I've heard have been the giant Sound Lab models. These use an assortment of variously-sized "tuned" planes comprising one larger, "curved" plane. However, ...

Hafler, Carver, polk and most professional mastering has a technique that actually came from MS recording techniques. A MS microphone array has a "mono" microphone and a figure 8 bipole microphone above it. The stereo spread is controlled by altering...

Yes, it's been that way for me, too, for years, now; "solutions" are no longer considered good enough if they yield only intermittant Musical satisfaction, or if getting and keeping things optimal for each session takes "too much" time and effort. Li...

I too was interested to hear these new Coincident speakers but alas they were not there. There were a couple other ceramic driver speakers there to get an idea of the breed. A couple very uninteresting and a couple quite interesting. In Arthur's defe...

Zanon, I do not mean DEQ, but that is one way to do it. D[SET] is another way; and it can be done in real time, by a couple of means.If you actually settle on the mid-field monitor approach, you will want that sort of speakers installed before you g...

Actually I do not see any fundamental differences between production and homemade speakers and I do not know why you put the home made speakers as something by default more superior to the productions models. You see, it is not about the speakers as ...

I know Dave for quite some time by now. He does not seem to get any better, but I have got used to him and pretty much disregard his behavior and only pay attention to why I came there. :)Avantgarde speakers sound good to my taste in general. I don't...
