Wait till the guitar weeps

There is a 4 minutes silence in this song around 5:25. Then it resumes with a very nice guitar solo.

Their KEF Control & Stream apps are a mess. I never understood why they decided to publish 2 different apps the control the same speaker anyway. I hope they take a look at it while they are releasing the new wireless version.

I'm using a B&W PV1D in a large room and SPL has never been an issue since my daughter doesn't let me to play loud music. It sure isn't a box. However, it might be a bit expensive like most scandinavian furnitures :) I also love the invisible cables that come with it.

Mechanically speaking there are two ways to change the natural frequency of a spring mass system. You can either change the spring coefficient by placing something underneath the speaker as suggested, or you can attach something heavy the speakers :)

Seeing the word pandemic in a topic about loudspeakers made me wonder about the natural frequency response of Corona virus :)

Sounds like Neurolink 10 years from now + streaming service of your choice (or maybe not). Dogan

Oh, there is this listening chair used by a Turkish poilitican -Ismet Inonu- who became the head of state in late 30s. The guy was a classical music fan with a serious hearing loss that he masterfully used as a political tool. Anyways, soon after he lost the elections in early 50s, the chair...

For what is worth, Genelec offers 5 years of warranty if you registered your speakers. I also got a 10+ year old B&O serviced recently and I remember finding the repair cost rather reasonable. I'm currently using KEF LS50W. Although they have some shortcomings in terms of usability, to be able...

Pretty sure he could hear you typing this message.

The Soviets were indeed aware of the design problem(s): "The SCSSINP Commission report states that this phenomenon had been known of at the time of the accident and that it had first been identified at the Ignalina RBMK plant in the Lithuanian Republic in 1983 (Annex I, Section 1-3.8). Although...

Sorry, my bad. But I tried to learn something useful before someone mentions Hitler :) Dogan

I have a 2.1 setup and yesterday I decided to play with the high pass filter frequency. This is the result (without EQ, 1/24 smoothing) at the listening position when the HPF is reduced from 80Hz (green) to 50hz (blue) which I believe is the lowest limit for my mains: It looks like adding 2...

Well, I bet one hundred thousand dollars that you can't measure the difference in sound between using natural vs. lab-made diamond. They must have exactly the same cut and clarity though. Dogan

Here it is. The XO at 80 Hz is more obvious now. Dogan

Ah, things look worse now as everything should up close. Thanks. Edit: Forgot to mention that the right window was set to 9ms in my second post. Do you have a recommendation for the gate duration? Dogan

I tried to follow the instructions you provided on a random measurement (without EQ) I took a while ago (IR shift, 3ms right windowing) and these are the results. If I remember correctly the mic was approximately 1.5m away. Is the phase too good to be true or the internal DSP is doing a good job...
