[quote user="chaos"]anything wrong with a square mouth on the midbass (or should it it be in a special width/height ratio)? would give me the right height of upper mr when i go 4way....[/quote]
Klaus, no one would give you a definitive answer to it....

Interesting… I was under suspicion that only Vibraplan allows LF decoupling but here is another California company the offers an alternative solution.

The Vibraplans did work fine and the principle was very simple, I read wha...

Here is what I have been thinking for a whale: how bad electricity impacts our long term judgment about the design decisions. Pretend we have a DSET amplifier and a speaker channel and we have a task to load the DSET’s plate properly. The proper load...

I stopped yesterday in Borders at lunch and looked through the June’s Stereophile. It had Wes Philips review of the Watt/Puppy 8. The writing was below any criticism - it was not review but rather the typical product release drumming. I do not ...

An interesting post, Paul, thanks. It looks like my fear or bass loading of this room were not accidental. If I get this room then it would be even worse in my case. Your have solid slab floor –something that I would like to have. But this house ...

Quotes from Romy in blue :I do not see that you imbedded into your plaster construction any tightening points from a stronger material. I mean: the holes in plaster – how strong you will be able to tight the bolts before the plaster will give up? Did...

Yes, Jessie, this is the direction that I am contemplating - to put up a vertical poll to support the attic main beam and to cut the 4-5 diagonal lowering beams that lead to my working triangular wall. Also the residue of the attic roof under th...

The Federated Mike from Mid West use to post good pictures about his Hi-Fi shows. Nowadays he thinks that his is “a publication” and his pictures are imbedded in some kind of java-crap driven idiotic format that slow like hell and crashes frequen...

Interesting that you post illustrates perfectly the notion of multi-amping advantage. A few years bask when I still was going to all those hi-fi show I proposed a notion that a room that has 50-500Hz properly dialed to a given room has with all ...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Titanium diaphragm drivers that are completely free of the titanium nastiness (you can believe me, I usually show strong allergic reactions to it) are the Eighteensound drivers with titanium nitride coating. I heard one in the...

I usually do not particularly care about compliments of my visitors about my playback – I know whatever they know, not to mention that ordinary audio people are so inept to talk about Sound that to get any more or less stimulating critical feedback a...

Here are a number of threads at my site where the concept of “Rightsizing from extreme systems....” is pitched. I looked into the “second” systems not because I was interested in “different sound”. In fact I insist that multiple playbacks in the same...

The WHRB juts broadcasted the Esa-Pekka Salonen’s debut with San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Esa-Pekka Salone is musical director of Las Angeles and he brought, among other things, his own composition “Insomnia”. The Insomnia was very nicely perfor...

Unquestionably it was Clark Johnson with his ultimate cure for CD misery. Clark is balanced mentally and psychologically (as far as a person who professionally spent tens years in the audio industry could be balanced) but when he showed me his new di...

Well, I realized that it is not good idea to revoke a reply option and particularly when I ridicule people. Therefore, I opened up this thread for replies. My initial idea was not to interfere with disagreements but rather to keep the initial posts c...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]What's being missed here is this: The parameters of location are fixed by the recording engineer/producer.Your typical Telarc has such a distant sound, one's only choice is the "you are there" reproduction.Your typical trad...

We have made a decision that we do go for the hardwood floors in listening room. We end up with unfinished quarter sawn red oak with Vermister" waterbase urethane. We will try to render the project in September.
This will imply to remove the w...

Stefano, welcome to the club, not the GoodSoundClub but the club of understanding of what is going on.
The subject of drivers in Tailored Audio™ is complicated and one of the biggest problems in this complicity is to defeat the attitude of judgment ...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I don't know any industry wolves unfortunately(?), but more new -01 drivers have appeared at half the price. I think I'll go ahead and make the speakers full range in time for my upcoming 30-years-on-earth-celebration. :-) [/quo...

A guy read my site and sent me a series of emails complaining that it is too difficult to found Imbedded positioning for his new bass horn as it is too big and too balky. Moving the large and heavy thighs and measuring them is the hard. I agree, but ...

[quote user="drdna"] Yes, we are saying the same thing. The problem as I have found it is that transparency is easily recognized and so there is a tendency for audiophiles to focus on this when they try to improve their systems, and this can ma...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

I constantly receive emails from people asking me my opinions about audio equipment. I was trying to address it in here:

[quote user="drdna"]I would not restrict myself to the idea that things need to be a certain way or a certain configuration of the drivers or ports based on theory alone. I think it is important to ask what is interesting about the sound that the new...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Forgive me for being so forward, but I have been holding it in for some time, and am right now, at this very moment, ripe for saying that I see this MiniMe thing as being analogous to an affair with a capricious little mis...

[quote user="slowmotion"]I don't understand what you mean here, Romy? To me "live" bass ( like when listening to an orchestra ) is much more dynamic than any reproduced bass I've ever heard. Also if listening to a real contrabass in a normal listenin...
