This goes back to the concept/myth of "fast" bass. "The first thing we must know is that bass itself is not particularly fast. Virtually any woofer, even those with heavy cones can easily reproduce bass frequencies with every scintilla of speed present in that bass. So don’t buy a bunch of...

yeah, ugh...the grill really did nothing for me. (then again, I have a cherry veneered box...so it's a VERY different look) I'm sure there's a lot better about it, I'm just not a big fan of the aesthetics. I'm sure the i version is better than the old version...but I wonder in a true AB test...

And the same video could be made in any other country. Stupidity transcends borders as well.

but bubinga is PRETTY! So is carpathian elm burl. I want to veneer my DIY line arrays in that (or something similar). Does that make me a Wank0r? I hope so! :D I am taking donations to go towards said veneer...

And that right there is exactly why generalizations are hard to enforce...because for every person who fits that generalization...there's one who doesn't. In order to make them even remotely accurate, you end up having to conditionalize them to the point of making them pointless. Saying "all...

What I meant regarding citizenship...is that citizenship likely has nothing to do with audiophile tendencies. It's like trying to measure IQ by height. Sure, you can run studies, and come up with some answer, like...6'5" guys are smarter than everyone else, but there's no causality, so it's a...

True, for something more "relaxed" you may want to go with a soft dome tweeter as opposed to a ribbon/ring radiator/planar tweeter.

That shouldn't matter...in fact it should be just the opposite, since the larger driver has to move half as far to get the same output. I'm not sure what inductance looks like for the different drivers...but that should have more of an effect.

Hey! I resemble that remark!!! :D

That's what they'd have you believe. Any decently rigid/spiked/heavy cabinet won't have this issue (as mine doesn't) the true benefit of the ML design is that the mechnical resonances should cancel each other, thus lowering mechanical distortion. But that's harder to show than putting a...

Descent >> Depth-i > Depth. 2 depths ~= 1 descent, though room modes and 30Hz + output likely favor the depths, and depth of output favors the descent. The 3 10" woofers is almost equivalent to double the output of the 3 8" woofers in the depths. I also think the grill on the depth-i is...

Has anyone ever heard the sales pitch about the ML descent and depth designs that having the 3 drivers operating in the alignment they're in reduces cabinet vibration such that you can put a nickel on its side on the top, and it won't fall over? Heard that at an audio store this weekend...then...

:D Excess in everything I do. That's my motto! Since I will never hear those 'puter speakers...I can only speculate on the design. If I had my choice, I'd hear them for sure! Till then, it's speculation, and measurment...and more speculation.

It's an integrated, right? Your aeons will attach to the speaker outputs, and send either the Left or right preout to the sub. I'm not sure if the amp has any internal crossover settings...so you may just need to adjust the sub to work around the aeons (ie cross it low) but using it that way...

The look interesting for sure...but I've got to wonder about the crossover point of the sub...I can't imagine those satellites handling anything below about 500 Hz (and even that seems like a bit of a stretch) ... but I know nothing about the tech...so I dunno.

I think it's hard to make generalizations based on citizenship! When you say audiophile, do you mean...someone who enjoys symphonic performances, or someone who enjoys hi-fi gear? We have symphonies in every major city...and many non-major ones (I used to play in the Virginia Beach Symphony)...

My vote is for the auditors. From a design perspective, the drivers they use are better than any of the other options listed. I'm in love with that revelator woofer. I haven't heard any of them, though...so can't speak for how they all sound...crossover design is an important piece (so is...

Early-mid july is good for me. Anything after the first weekend.

When they say reduced the sound 50%, that means 3db, right? not 50db.

ROAD TRIP!!! :rocker:
