Well, we have already seen differences between the Klippel and Harman Spinoramas, and Harman has stated they recently recalibrated their anechoic measurements. However, that’s not the only case here, Due to the complex soundfield, Amir said that without being able to measure further away from...

Did you just periodically check the site or what? As for the score, it is may or may not be a bit lower than it should be, this is due to something in the bass that Amir says may or may not be true to life, due to measurement constraints.

I think the M106 will sound a bit better, it is 2x the price though.

You want a falling response because that is reproducing it as it was recorded. Flat indoors is not the same as flat outdoors, our brains have adapted to how enclosed spaces alter sounds, thus we can ignore it if it’s not egregious, so if you have a sound be flat indoors, that is not how those...

I have thin metal ones, but they go far enough behind my ear that they poke most ear cups, only a few earcups I have are large enough.

~3dB vs 5dB; still, a negative slope.

Harman did some testing, and “trained” listeners did prefer less of a boost than the average listener, but they still liked some boost. Our ears have evolved to account for room acoustics, so people don’t sound totally different when in a room and outside (we can hear a difference, but we...

The PIR always is a bit lower in the bass. It is more representative of those people who have their speakers like 5ft off the front wall. The distortion graphs are done in-room, but near-field (Amir did the original tweeter axis, so ignore the treble region): It can be called “flat” down to...

Hey Rick, I'm updating my speaker data files and noticed I didn't have much data on this speaker, so I used the Wayback Machine to find an archived listing for it on your site: https://web.archive.org/web/20050406031420/http://www.selahaudio.com/id15.html For sensitivity, it is over 10dB less...

Not meaning to sidetrack the purpose of this thread, but for my speaker selector, I use a filter formula on the actual data, so you enter in the text boxes what info to filter. Rather than dealing with people needing to use a sort/filter on their own. Also, Erin currently is sharing the actual...

Just stating the usefulness of a high-pass, as it can indeed damage a sub if you try to blast 10Hz notes into it.

Some Rythmik subs have a switchable high pass, mentioning Edge of Tomorrow for its use case, as they know people blast that opening intro so see how close to an earthquake they can make. Also, as a funny side note, Rythmik now states that Klipsch overstates their sensitivity so there is no issue...

Stereophile gives the dBW per load when doing measurements, at 4ohm it’s a bit less as no amp exactly doubles down as they should, they are close enough though. For instance in their most recent amp measured, it was 23.3dBW into 8ohm and 23dBW into 4ohm.

The PIR is supposed to help this issue. 2 issues though: 1) It is tilted; thus I normalize it to its own slope (I used to do it to the target slope, not anymore). I then do a weighted average with the on-axis (weights per the formula). This is my Tonal Balance tab in my files. 2) It is going to...

Looking at the specs for the CDi 2|300, Crown states a bit better THD & SNR but slightly worse IMD & crosstalk.
