The Aura
1808 had free air resonance at 24Hz and required enormous sealed
enclosure of 14-16 cu feet. Wilson Audio used the Aura 1808 in their
unfortunately-ported XS subwoofers and soaked from their relatively
small enclosure an extra 19dB...

Audio people know that loudspeakers mostly define the quality of sound reproduction. Also, everyone knows that the capacity of the loudspeakers mostly determined by the capacity of the drivers that loudspeakers use. Regardless of the topologies, appl...

It always was mystery for me but there is no good 12” drivers outs there, at least that I know. There are many 12-inchers out there but all of them are not good. The Cat...

Let start from the largest drivers and go down. There are larger then 18” drivers (23” and 30”) but looking at this magnet structures I do not find them serious. I addition to make the 23” cone stiff enough requires a lot of diaphragm’s mass or to us...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

Oops, I almost forgot the size of 14”. This is kind of off the wall size but still there was two exceptional drivers in this size that I met.
The first is JBL 1400ND. The 1400ND was initially used in JBL K2 system. It had underhung voice coil, neody...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

This is about the Focal Utopia TN51 tweeter....
It is hard to imagine not much I like this tweeter, in fact there is something insanely beautiful in this tweeter and from a certain perspective (narrow-certain) I like it even more then the HF o...

A superbly interesting pursuit...I would be most interested in that description of that specific sound. It is true that some concert grands do certain things better than smaller pianos but there are rare instances of truly exceptional small(er) pian...

I add that only to highlight there is more to it than just the sound pressure, adding ULF will impact your system electrically as well but yes, in a far more subtle way.The primary difficulty i see is the phase flip at the bottom. There is just mo w...

Yes, I have a few acquaintances who have damned the vinous pearls that I've cast before them with the very faintest of praise. One said that a 1990 Montrachet Ramonet was "as good as Cloudy Bay". Actually, although the Mouton was pretty special, alon...

Anthony, they are very very good drivers. Perhaps cuz they are one of the best in their class. Still I would like not to make cult out of anything. The relative quality of components is very important things if they used properly. However, when we pa...

I'm moving my two finished LF boxes (connected as 1 channel) around the room, trying to set them up to play more frequency-flat than I've been able to make them with only one box per channel.Putting one in the ceiling and the other on the floor, both...

Well, it is a given that I am not a horn guy right now to begin with. Of course, the "theater speakers" were and are mostly dinosaurs and/or mostly of historical/nostalgic interest. I just want to mention some excepti...

By the way I was trying to listen Auto 2D. I have no idea why but it is such a despicable garbage. I did all correct configurations. I have exceptionally good result when I play Auro 3D over 2D configuration, using just side channels nothing else, ju...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...

Well, I never head this work but there was something the picked my curiosity. A year or so ago I read Richter’s book that combined his autobiography and dairies. Generally I’m not fond of Richter and his autobiography in this book was expectedl...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Upper Bass : Frequency range between 100 and 500Hz – Driver loaded into a 120Hz straight horn, driven by DSET dedicated channel. Mid Bass : Frequency range between 40 and 100Hz – Driver loaded into a 45Hz straight hor...

I think low power ss design is the only way we can make ss to sound good. in my idea all high power ss design i heard had no emotion in their sound in comparison by good SET designs like AN UK Ankoru.the first SS design that make me happy in comparis...

Of course I haven't compared it with the Sansui, which appears to be a very serious machine but the Leak sounds more natural to me than the other highly regarded tuners available over here (in the UK) such as the various Naim models, the Audiola...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

I have tonight heated cop up Macondo and decided to do some listening. I need to admit that over a month I did explicitly listening to my new Rebel++. I pulled Karajan Bruckner 7, this typically unfortunate DG pressing, lit up nice cigar come and li...

Never had a 100kg power supply to play with, but I have certainly noticed that changing the power source affects dynamics (along with plenty of other things, too). I prefer my friend's system's dymanics when "grid power" is connected, vs giant batter...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]any chance of a similar climb down on the 'adequate but not exceptional' 834P?[/quote]Not really. The 834PT still holds ground and the more I hear different phonostages the more firmly it does. I can’t tell you if it is due...
