speaker

Hi all, Does anyone have a DIY passive speaker kit recommendation for a first timer? This would be for use near-field on a desk. In my office at work, so something that sounds good at low volumes. I listen to a wide variety of music and listen to a lot of hip-hop, so a speaker with little bass...

Good day everyone - So I’ve been looking into various methods of applying a cardioid response into different designs - things like resistive enclosures, active methods with rear drivers, and such The thing that concerns me is that I’ve always wondered if it’s actually worth the effort - I’ve...

I am new to this forum. I saw a couple of Amir’s videos and it’s obvious that he knows what he is doing and talking about. Now I looked on this site for recommendations about speakers and other components. I see lots of detailed reviews but somehow I don’t know how to search i.e. for the best...

Hello everyone This is my first review here on ASR and by a somewhat popular interest, I decided to give it a go. The DA-Wave speakers can be Purchaced on Parts-express (Parent company of Dayton Audio) for around 269 when on sale, which it is quite often. Just a disclaimer, I don't have any...

I am about to pull the trigger on the Topping A90 (unless there are other alternatives that are as good for less?) I notice there is a pre-amp out in the back with XLR. I currently own and mainly use the Adam T7V Powered studio monitors, what came into mind during this is I read somewhere...

Hi all, I've got my hands on the vintage Wharfdale Denton speakers from the 1970s. However, I'm completely new to this and can't figure out what connection is in the terminals. I would like to avoid just bare wire connection and regular banana plugs are too wide for this. Picture below. Thanks a...

Hi there, I'm about to replace my Kef IQ 9s with the new LS 50 Metas. I got a NAD C 326BEE (https://nadelectronics.com/product/c-326-stereo-integrated-amplifier/) and plan to place them in a 24 m2 room. Behind the amp, there's usually vinyl or digital from a Topping E30 coming in. Any thoughts...

If I find a speaker that I like, I'll typically: Look at pictures of it Search for measurements of it Search for a general consensus of it Consider demoing it. But what benefit would demoing actually provide? If I'm looking to assess the quality through hearing then I'd have to know what to...

Hello guys, a few months ago i bought some klipsch rp600m and a cambridge audio cxa81 amplifier. i was happy at the beginning but soon i didnt enjoy them quite much becuase at louder listening levels they came over too bright for my ear. After reading some reviews in this forum about this...

Introduction @Dennis Murphy is generously sending a pair of his Philharmonic BMR Monitor speakers on a road show to various listeners east of that big river over yonder. Somehow, they found their way across it to rural-ish Texas and landed in my home first, before heading back east to continue...

Hi. I'm confused on what is the best volume control to use. I want to make sure I'm doing it right. I have it setup DAC into Gustard H16(has built in preamp), into speaker amp. have both the DAC and the AMP maxed and am using the Gustard H16 as the volume control. Am I doing it right?

A set of Wharfedale EVO 4.4s. These are in perfect working order. There is a very minor ding on the side of one of the speakers, but you need to be really up close and put a flashlight to it to see it. Price: $1375 + Shipping. OBO Location: Skokie, IL (Local Pickup is Available) Let me know...

In order to use REW's automatic EQ feature, I started collecting and converting every speaker target that I could find into the necessary .txt format. In this thread I want to share my work so far, as well as ask you guys for target responses that I may have missed. Comparison: So...

I wish I had time to read all the acoustic and speaker design books I have (and have access to) so I could learn about in-polarity designs vs in-phase-at-xover designs. I come from a live sound background, and it seems this is the equivalent, please correct me if I am wrong: 1. Take the sound...

I've had this pair of ARA Be's since January 2020. Bought new as a kit from Madisound. They are in excellent condition. The kit is straight forward and consists of a simple assembly. Cabinets are finished and ready for assembly. I'm a seasoned DYIer (15+ years) and it took me only about an hour...

Hi, I am designing a speaker for the first time and would like some feedback on my design before I actually build it. Some additional info: - Outer wall will be 36mm/1.4 inch thick and lined with 5cm/2 inch acoustic rock wool. - Tweeter: Tang Band RT-2202S Aluminum Ribbon Tweeter...

Hello, I want to discuss here the differences of wide and narrow directivity of very good speakers in context with room acoustics and more. One perfect speaker for all rooms. I don't think so. On conclusion of the research at of @Floyd Toole and others are that a good speaker sounds good in...

In a recent thread I asked whether or not the Klippel NFS can create polar plots of distortion measurements. @amirm clarified that it's not set up to do so and that in any case distortion would show no spatial dependency unless the source was acoustic, i.e., the distortion was caused by the...

Hi All. I received the BMR Philharmonitor kits from Meniscus last week. I am planning to do some custom Baltic Birch Cabinets on my CNC with curved sides. Purely for aesthetic reasons and because I love designing things. My first renders are here, and I will keep the post rolling as I move...
