Its been my observation , Due to many designers being less hands on today and leaning more heavily on simulations to design loudspeakers , designs difficult to simulate are being left behind.. Regards

Inconsistencies in your audio system sound is more than just mental instability :) Humidity and temp will affect some loudspeakers more than others and check if you have any noise in your current setup, you need to tend to it .. audible back ground noises at wide open gain can be helped...

Hello, To keep or not is too personal , once gone your LP’s collection will be hard to duplicate, as to sound if it is less so vs Streaming you have a bad analog setup and this is where your effort should be applied , improving your system ... BTW , The LP12 is a great player if setup...

For those put off by the price the original Heil drivers are available from ESS in CA very reasonably priced .. Regards

I was thinking 20,1k,10, 20K ...

Hello Amirm, Really appreciate the bench testing effort , a few questions. 1. Were any subjective listening test done to get a feel for the Sonics of the JRDG vs NC400..? 2. Could you include squarewave testing in the future woukd love to see what these modern amps look like ...

Somewhat , it depends on the design goals , for an all out SOTA design best to use multiple cabinets , IMO unless you are using compression type Horn drivers , linesource works best over point source here .. But yes you will end up with a pretty large monolith doing a 5 way setup, but also...

Some of that reduced dynamics takes place in the recording Brad , dynamic compression is necessary for audio system playback due to the high crest factors ..

Irony, Ad Hominem attack and BS response noted , Good day

Thanks Amir and separate we shall ...... :)

Btw my first full active system was in 78 , i built and designed a lot of fully active systems thru the 80's , a lot with custom bespoke Electronic Xovers , so i'm not negative to or against them , i just happen to find passive and quasi active/ passive to be superior in delivery and...

Yes i can , We did sighted and blind listening We level match We do comparisons in different locations We do at least 3 different sessions to verify consistency and drive equipment Not to worry , not everyone is comfortable outside of their ideological footprint , i wonder how many active...

I fail to see how I'm being obtuse, I asked if there was a sonic difference and why , thanks for finally giving me your opinion .. regards

Hello Frank , Thanks for the link and this is what i gathered from their measurements, *The Anima is 9db down at 40hz @3M *Sensitivity is close enuff to the rated 109 @1K with 2.83V, but not sure if it's 8 ohm at 1K could not read numbers listed * Bass driver FB resonance is 50 hz *Xover freq...

We are here , not there , hence my question .... What are the sonic trade offs ..
