Hi, I have not yet looked through all of the 58 pages, but I'll do whatever I can to help. I might be from the other side of the fence, but I'm fighting for a free and independent press because I strongly believe that without a critical press, reviews are useless—blah, blah, with no meaning. I...

I offered to do one for Eversolo (the distributor here in Germany is around the corner), but they don't want a speaker. All those new companies are good at designing products closely around the evaluation board of the chip manufacturer (and that's OK and makes sense), but developing a marketing...

I think the best one is 12.1. ..

...there are some ideas. The woofer could get a better cone in a new shape for better roll-off. The design has always been more or less the same since 1010. Cabinet proportions are not ideal, and the port tube can be better placed and resonance improved (less output in the midband). A simpler...

I can only talk about it based on companies telling me they don't sell those cheaper speakers. I see that Q-Acoustics introduced a range above the 3000 series that should have been updated a long time ago. On the other hand, the new voicing of Q-Acoustic 5000 is so different; who knows how a new...

It will not be made by me - that's for sure. ATB KH

Hi, what you noticed is what we do during the development. We listen to the speakers with all sorts of music and tune them so that the maximum number of tracks sounds good (to us). Believe me, it's very easy to make a speaker flat, but they would sound harsh and forward in most cases. We can...

Hi from Germany, I got the amp here for testing, and I did a quick and dirty first measurement compared to the Hypex DIY latest generation. I measured @ 8 Ohm. It's not the same as Armir does, but maybe it's good enough for a first impression. Output power is 150W@8 Ohm, both channels driven...

Yes, it does. There is a gasket below the woofer basket and the tweeter has a gasket plus washers on the screw between the plate and the cabinet. We ask dealers to check the torque when they set-up the speakers with or for a customer

Hi, we have 4 areas.....the most important one is the cabinet. On a budget speaker, you cannot make too complicated things, so you will have more unwanted output from ports or vibrations form side panels and so on. And of course, the surface is not veneer or paint, but just foil. But by...

They have been sold again....almost - now to a Chinese company. PSS sold again

Hi Dennis, nowadays, it's more and on top comes the international distributor margin as well, who sells it to the local dealer.

Still trying to find a good distributor for EPOS in the US.....not so easy right now, as distributors or dealers are not investing money. Yeah, the distribution cost is still high. I'm not saying too high; I just wanted to point out that the money is not in our pockets.

No...it's not. The manufacturer gets the smallest margin. The distribution is expensive and eats most of the money.

No, that's not true in my opinion. Professional active monitors have settings for those effects when used on a console or the wall. But maybe the BBC had those specs internally, but why should they publish them? They designed a speaker and gave a license to build it for their own internal use...
