    Illusion owners...where do you cross over?

    How do you account for the fact, that your 4 woofers are powered by relatively modest 250W/4Ohm internal amp, where each woofer gets 25% of it. D-class amps, such as the one used in ML and the majority of subs are well known to have very little headroom, so once you bring them near their output...

    Illusion owners...where do you cross over?

    the past: blown Focus the present: blown Illusion the future, if nothing else changes ??? There might 20 different reasons, why you are blowing your speakers. One of them for sure is that ESLs are not HT speakers designed to deliver ultra-high SPL. They offer different qualities. Genuine...

    New Netflix policy. They are cracking down on password sharing

    Education is basically free, health care too - is more like a tax, % of your income, governmnent pays for you, when you are unemplyed [you get very good level by state health insurance, you can go private [which we do]. EU is socialist open-air-museum. Your progressives are equal to our...

    Is 14 euros/m for highest tier, I think 5 for HBO and 5 for Disney+. Qobuz 15. I have cancelled Tidal, Sky Showtime, Prime, Spotify, Apple music, WaPo, NYT and all the rest. we do not have Cable Tv anymore. Funny how different things work - here as a student you are basically expected to...

    New Netflix policy. They are cracking down on password sharing

    Technically - they live in different household. And in your specific case [I had and I am having similar situation] - responsibility for your own choices, including decision of Netflix vs Soy Caffe Latte at Starbucks is part of what it means becoming adult and independent. Also lesson "I can not...

    A Sincere From My Heart Question Regarding the Future of ML ESL

    Just a thought - Audio Research was ever-present in all the mags. Did not help that much in the end. ESL is and will be niche product and company will probably sell to its existing customer base 90%. Said that - I think 7-8 years is a good time to refresh the Masterpiece series, with 16A...

    A Sincere From My Heart Question Regarding the Future of ML ESL

    Let's not make it Porsche VW discussion 🚙 - Piechs qre members of Porsche Family [his mother was born as Porsche] and it was Games of Thrones type of family feud. 53% of voting rights are held by Porsche Family Fund [you would call Charity in US],. One of the more bizarre things - there is very...

    A Sincere From My Heart Question Regarding the Future of ML ESL

    Just a technical remark - 15A vs Summit is not apples to apples in terms of performance. More like 13A would be correct comparison. do not disagree with the rest though. Whole hifi industry has gone nuts.

    New Center - 50XTI vs ESL-C?

    There are endless discussions on this topic on AV forums. Consensus seems to be, that this is not something you want to do [side by side for sure not], unless you have AV processor capable of handling speaker arrays [basically having ability to send the same signal with its own trim/delay and EQ...

    New Center - 50XTI vs ESL-C?

    Think about it “not even 1 dollar per day difference over 2 years” I would also go as high as possible with the level of C speaker.

    ARC > Now MQA entering administration

    There were couple of discussions e.g. on ASR, that got emotional at some point. As this is British company you can find the accounts. Yearly revenues around 0.5M-0.74M and yearly loss of more than 4M, Clearly not sustainable biz model and license fees were not that big, even when there was an...

    what amp to use with Renaissance 15a

    Maybe it has been covered; I use D Class amps, currently Purifi based, not their standard 1ETA400A module, but new and stronger one 1ET7040SA with 45A current and stable to 2 Ohm. With 6V capable preamp and variable gain [I use 20dB] it is quietest and cleanest sound I ever heard coming from my...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Lot of pink noise and some REW sweeps coming out of my HT in last days. Not day and night but still some improvements: 1) After some experiminenting with REW and MSO, I think I have sweet spot on Bass Management and EQ, using Trinnov to almost full extent. [I use 2xMiniDsp Flex as basically...

    ATVX Discussion

    Kudos to them. Brave guys. To claim improvements in audio is one thing (“we could all suddenly hear day and night difference”). To claim that you can improve video, where the easiest thing to do is to take picture/video and do A/B is another. I would still be curious, how linear power supply...
