I believe this because the results are clearly better... In every way...ie: Superior dynamics, better transparency, (a clearer "window" into the performance). The ability to "fine tune" the various parameters to match the room and ones personal needs/preferences.
Data points: Bi n tri amped...
Actively driving a speaker system with a properly implemented active crossover and dedicated amplifiers IS the way to go....on just about any speaker system, regardless of topology.....
Out of curiosity since you have visited this private system, featuring DDK's new Statement table, twice now, you probably have a decent sense for the overall sound reproduction capability (of this system, not specifically the ABSOLUTE NOTHING Turn Table). Generally speaking, how would you...
Have you seen the new product offering from Clarisys Audio... the Piccolo?... Looks like an interesting speaker and apparently "reasonably" priced ( under 20 K)....
Yes it would be nice to see some pictures of the various rooms that Ron and others find to offer SOTA sound....I know there are numerous pictures already in various places that Ron, for instance, has heard, however having them here on a thread that is dedicated to sound reproduction at the...
IMO, this new flagship offering from Sonus-Faber would look substantially better if the sub woofer colomn had a minimum of one more driver, and preferably two per column, and then the columns would be at a similar height as the main array..... As it stands now it looks to disjointed.....
I believe he was mainly referring to the materials used in the CD ( compression driver) Mid/Tweeter sections of a horn (waveguide) based system. Most are various metal based materials, although there are some good paper CD ( B & C come to mind...and are quite good...BTW).
Cheers....
Interesting stat......What NBA player has scored the most 4th quarter points so far in this still early NBA season??
Yep you guessed it....the old dude....Lebron.....shooting 59 % in the 4th Q. so far this year.
Sorry no video's, however thought I would share a few pictures of my company's newest interest.... Vintage meets Modern.....It's an Altec Valencia/Model 19 Tribute....We are also working on a Statement product featuring Horn/Waveguide's (Yuichi) in the Mid and Treble, with large bass reflex...
Be careful of "First Impressions" on any new ( unused, with 0 hours of previous burn in) cable. The Cardas may indeed be exactly what the doctor ordered....I use various Cardas products , and with excellent results.
However they will change somewhat with additional play time.... I suspect as...
One simple thing you might try is to reverse the speaker positions. Currently you appear to have the tweeter sections of the speakers on the inside. Your speakers are also angled in a fair amount and with their separation from one another, a little to close together (I can see from the doorway...
May I inquire on the EQ settings you are using?
You mentioned using a 3DB boost above 10kHZ.
What is the actual frequency you are applying the 3DB boost and are you using a " HIGH SHELF", or a Bell curve setting?.
Also how far back do you sit from the speakers?
Thanks.....
I believe there was a Pendragon setup in Malaysia or Singapore that had the same alignment as your new configuration.
That individual mentioned he tried both positions and definitely preferred woofers on the inside, panels on the outside.
If you experience some loss of center-fill, try angling...
What do you think about hORNS Universum, .....I am thinking about their top offering, the one that Bonzo reported favorably on a few years ago?
Thanks...
