Petar, wonderful observation as usual. I would like to add one factor that is always there but practically impossible to consider predictably. Any driver has suspension (with exception of suspension-less drivers that are not suitable for bass) and th...

Absolutely flat response will usually sound as you've described it; listen to your ears. If you are hearing the opening bass line of "So What" via the sub, you must be running the sub pretty high in frequency to compensate for lack of mid-bass. From ...

Well, the license of think this way was given to me by one mini-monitor that I found to sound “promising” for the objectives that I would like to achieve. In fact not even the monitor itself but the bass driver, the drive that in a way was unique cha...

The Western Electric L-9 in Munich was/is an infinite baffle design. The 754B woofers are in a sealed enclosure with a front horn. There is no possibility of cancellation between front wave and back wave of speaker, so I wouldn't call it an "open baf...

[quote user="haralanov"] The horns, even the fast opening ones are physically too deep for their mouth’s size, and this leads to a psychoacoustic illusion that the sound images are arrested at the bottom of the horn and from there they scream they wa...

Possible, with all my conversation about Mantis I do not remember I ever made any guess or assumption how it might sound. In horns, I feel I am qualified to make sometimes very bold assessments with very high prece...

George,
I do not think that the 3 motors example of Clearaudio is applicable. Theoretically it correct and a single motor driving a platter coastally minor-swing it on it’s bearing. In realty the things are more completed. With enough mass of platte...

I wrote about it before and I was/am afraid this effect too. I discovered it a few years back when suddenly my bass picked some odd harmonics. After a few days I realized that the harmonics came from an acoustic guitar that was sitting in my list...

Roman.
This last "venture " of yours is most welcome .A lot of of the people I know and most of the listeners from audio shows are always surprised when small monitors produce big bass and try to
impress with big sound. I never liked this "pushe...

[quote user="Ronnie"] Did you buy the Denon?I'm curious because Denon D-M31 (speakers not included) is on a recommended components list by the Swedish LTS (Sound Technical Society).

In order to increase the rotating mass the platters have to be couple much harder then my lightly-applied reel-to-real tape. When you stress platters horizontally harder it creates own problems that do have sonic outcomes. In addition, the only way t...

Actually I care less about the design philosophy in this case but rather about the result. Obviously the 150W-200W (200W?) of Zarathustra’s pure class A would be completely useless for my horns. I would like to have something to drive with that amp a...
|
|
[quote user="hagtech"] For a single driver, looks to me like you need an input signal of at least 3Vrms. A lot of linestages can do that, so a single tube power amp seems both reasonable and interesting. [/quote]
What actually I discovered the...

[quote user="floobydust"] On a second note, you can also modify this for both adjustable AC and DC balance on seperate potentiometers. Both potentiometers would be in parallel with the filament (and padded) but you use the wipers independantly, ...

A few years ago a friend of my asked me what I feel might be a perspective product to go in high-end that would do well business wise and at same time topology would be optimized to serve better sound. I gave him an idea of a monitor, coupled with a ...

I kind of never paid too much attention to it a few years back but lately more and more it become to fascinate me. I am taking about the Macondo/Melquiades tandem’s ability to demonstrate distinction between pitches at alarming high level. Sure ...
