    Development Thread: Sigberg Audio Saranna - active floorstander

    Distortion measurements. Well under 1% at 96dB@1m basically everywhere except beyond 10khz and slightly over at 1500hz. The graph says 90dB at the Y-axis because this measurement is done at 2 meters.

    Development Thread: Sigberg Audio Saranna - active floorstander

    This week we visited the Seas Anechoic chamber for some measurements. Also; Quick video showing excursion at relatively loud levels (averaging around 105dB@listening position). Healthy movement on the bass drivers, but perhaps more of note is the relative lack of moment of the coax, for...

    Development Thread: Sigberg Audio Saranna - active floorstander

    Developing speakers is pretty labour intensive, and even most larger speaker companies don't have their own anechoic chamber (we certainly don't). That said, I am lucky enough to live 20 minutes drive from the Seas factory, and they DO have an anechoic chamber. So we use that extensively during...

    I think knee high will be fine if you can fit it, and the color will be of limited consequence. The wool must be high-end wool of course.

    Hi-Fi is NOT a subjective hobby.

    That speaker has very low sensitivity driver, but beyond that there seem to be nothing special about it. But I can understand one gets a feeling of them "not coming alive" until you have a powerful amplifier, given the low sensitivity. But soundstage as a concept isn't typically a result of the...

    Thank you, I'm fine.

    Hi-Fi is NOT a subjective hobby.

    Let's agree to disagree on that I think. Back to your original topic, "hifi is not a subjective hobby" sounds a bit controversial / provocative. From a more general standpoint, surely people like different things, and from that perspective it is subjective what is the "best" component, system...

    Hi-Fi is NOT a subjective hobby.

    So even at moderate sound levels (within the amplifiers capability) the speakers don't image properly unless the amplifier is high powered? That sounds like an interesting result.

    Hi-Fi is NOT a subjective hobby.

    Interesting topic, but also interesting example for this specific topic. As several has mentioned, imaging (and soundstage) are properties not easily measured. I guess they can still be objective qualities, but they are also affected by the room the system resides in (unless we count the room as...

    Development Thread: Sigberg Audio Saranna - active floorstander

    Moved the Saranna to a new room, this one is around 18-20m^2. The avg level of this measurement is around 75dB, so this is basically flat to 20hz in-room. This measurement is a stereo measurement at the listening position with zero smoothing and only one manual EQ point (reduced a peak at ~45hz...

    Finally got around to writing an article about designing and developing the Manta. Gives some interesting insight in why these speakers were created, design choices along the way, and how they work. https://www.sigbergaudio.no/blogs/news/designing-a-loudspeaker-the-manta

    Development Thread: Sigberg Audio Saranna - active floorstander

    Hi. I got the same question on another forum just the other day, so let me just paste that answer: That is a very difficult question for a couple of reasons. First of all it is still early days, so the complexity of actual commercial production is hard to predict. The second is that prices of...
