Could the 8ohm model woofer (SB13PFCR25-8) be used with the proper resistor in front of the same tweeter, or would this change other characteristics too much?

If I were to modify the shape of the cabinet, what should stay constant? The internal volume? The volume + depth? Thinking about doing something a bit trapezoidal like certain 80s boutique speakers.

Yeah after the other guy clocked them as corals I went down that rabbit hole for a bit. Very beautifully made drivers.

OMG he's doing it wrong?? Someone should tell him!

Woah. those are quite interesting. nailed it! The guy in the video is the subject of a documentary, Moriyama-San (I don't think the video is from the doc). I haven't seen it yet but it's on my radar right now as a rare intersection of japanese architecture and experimental music...

nice. JBL L56 or maybe L46. I assume that's what he mostly uses. the bottom pair look interesting though, a bit older.

from this video: Two pairs of speakers. top seem to be JBLs. Very cool minimal setup.

Yeah I have this model and I found that as long as the inputs are connected to something there was no (audible) crosstalk issue. Why would you switch to an input you aren't using? It could be a poor mute switch I guess.

For that amount of money I would just get a new device that outputs a balanced signal if I felt I really needed that. Something that does this job should be like $50 max imo. I could see a venue using it as a DI box for artists who just have line out to the PA, but having to plug it in to the...

Am I wrong?

It's really an industrial design thing for me. The car amp has a nice look to me but only due to the standardized form-factor of the enclosure. My favorite era for design is definitely 1980s mid-budget stuff. I love the professional, usable and understated look of stuff from NAD, early Yamaha...

Honestly the vibe of bigger "luxury" audio brands like McIntosh, Klipsch, Focal, etc is off-putting to me and doesn't communicate anything appealing to me as a consumer other than "Buy this if you're a boomer with cash"

I have a pair of the Koss KPH40 Utility headphones. The utility series comes with a detachable cable that is essentially a long dongle (...) that ends in either a normal 1/8th inch jack or a digital connection. It's kind of an odd system, and ultimately I wish they sold a non-Utility version of...

I think for many users of such products, reliability, stability, lack of glitches, and ease of use are more important than small measurement differences. It seems Motu has improved in this regard. I used a Focusrite Saffire LE for years and it was great. That was firewire, I miss firewire...

it turns on automatically if you plug it in, so you could just use a power strip or something. I wouldn't worry about the knob wearing out or even turning it off at all for that matter.
