I am looking at those images and a bit puzzled. Do the tweeters attached to their mounting board under an angle or they are paralleled with the mounting board? It is very difficult to judge from those images. It looks like the tweeters attached to th...

Ok, I have found a “perfect” configuration for MF driver for my MiniMe: it is linear. I am sure that Silbatone folks and Trojan Condoms will sue me for copyright infringement but I think I will survive. It is sad that such a good dive is such a stupi...

Writing a yesterday about Korean Silbatone Acoustics:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=15405
…I was thinking about a relationship between a nation cuisine and nation high-end sound. I do not know if it pos...

It was reported, and I do not know how accurate it is, that Silbatone did not use WE driver but used a Japanese replica by GIP.

As I understand it the Silbatone amplifiers are, in part, the work of JC Morrison. Although very nicely made, its hard to judge if they have any serious intention of selling them. I don't think there is any commercial imperative to do that just as th...

hi! Funny... i just passed it in Munich yesterday. Now its mentioned here. Of course i had to stop and have a listen with such cool look. Sorry to tell you, that things a imposter. I left in less than five minutes. It hurts my ears. Totally cold, sha...

Robin, to be honest, this seems like a real grind to me, like reading Madame Blavatsky. Could you highlight the good parts, and I will try again, based on that? I think I would have to hear something that interested me from Silbatone before I could p...

Joe Roberts continues do not do audio and coniine dedicate himself to archeology. http://www.tnt-audio.com/shows/munich10a_e.htmlDuring his last waist of Munich, when he was digging out the meaning of the word “Reinheitsgebot” and helpe to his Korean...

Tuga,I do not know what JMLC had written in that paper – I can’t read French but from looking at the pictures I might only presume that he was trying to prove or disprove the Point Source idea by looking at the souses live sound vs. recorded-and-then...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.
The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be abou...

the cynical whores whom don't believe in what they doing from the ones which do. Joe Roberts happens to always have expressed his W.E love and bias ever since the dawn of "Sound Practices" so I don't see his involvement in Silbatone as a "whorish sel...

The things I like best about a good wide-range drivers are coherence and immediacy; like nothing else I know of.But awareness of the limited range (certainly not FR), dynamics (certainly not natural on most music) and any res...

Quickly again, for the record, and The Google:The back wave of the Manger has a much less flat response than the front wave. There are peaks out the back. It is not a symmetrical dipole. This issue is only of interest if you are using the back ...

Certainly, this sincere invitation was offered in part because they found you an interesting Cat, but I think that the offer was also inspired by the fact that you are writing pages of critique on items that you have not, in fact, ever heard.My Korea...

It is very self-evident for kind public this clown is working. From all BS that was expressed about me I would point just two facts:
1) I never kicked Joe Roberts from my site and according to site's memebers log he keeps visiting daily.2) I d...

Romy wroteStill, somebody Armen reports that Cessaro with $2K TAD driver were compatible to Silbaone… so what the purpose to pay more than $700 for a pair of JBL 2440?
I must say sound of Cessaro was far more sofisticated than Si...

This may not be the right place. I am always emotionally involved with the music I listen to. Sometimes there is a quality to it that makes tears stream down my face - not matter what gendre of music or whether it is sad or happy.This subject was d...

Thanks for all the suggestions. As it happens, there were no exhibitors at the Flemings Hotel this year. But I did pop into the Stax stall before listening to anything else.In general, I was pretty disappointed with what I heard. Most of the ‘convent...

Joe, it you willing to quote me then quote my entire thought but not the out of context taken sound-bites that make you demagogy sealable. I am sorry to say it but you are in uncharted water and you are out of depth. I am not sure why you are s...

Glad you came around to my way of thinking. Without actually hearing "X" it is kind of silly to have strong and well formed opinions about X's sound.If "Lowther" is used as a generic name for single driver speaker, then it is impossible to have a mea...

Romy,I merely thought that you felt I was riding roughshod over your advice, when it was in fact a degree of naivety requiring extensive clarification that may have made it appear thus. Regardless of your indifference to praise and/or criticism, I'd ...

[quote user="tuga"]If you have a midrange driver you can try that for yourself.[/quote]In this case the lack of "full-range" audio is so glaring it overwhelms any advantage of the point source, I think.

Joe,
Funny that imaging has very little to do what I think you do not “get”. Apparently my run about imaging was the only thing you “got” but I brought the whole “imaging thig” only as one of the illustrations. It is kind of sad that the keyword “im...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] I feel I am being objective when I say that a Mirrophonic system simply blows away Altec, Vitavox, TAD, etc. [/quote]
