    I have to wonder if KEF fixed these problems in the LSX II and LT models.

    Introducing Denotiva DIY speakers!

    Don't expect PE to budge. Here's another set of measurements for the Sig180: Fs of 50 and 52 Hz. https://diy.midwestaudio.club/discussion/comment/47092/#Comment_47092

    WinISD is giving crazy high SPL

    You must have put 180 W in the System input power to get 112 dB. That is the thermal limit and shouldn't be used. Try putting in 1 W and see what you get.

    Diy 3-Way Compact Monitor Vs 2-Way , Pros+Cons of each design.

    If you go with plan B (Woofer+ Coaxial Driver) I would suggest KEF co-axials. Right now you can buy a new pair of KEF Q150s from Amazon for $350. IIRC they use the 12th generation of the co-axial. They don't have MAT (Metamaterial Absorption Technology), but IMO otherwise are the best...

From post #95: "As I mentioned above, before Chinese New Year they were testing a new version of the App interface for scanning the USB. So I would suggest wait a week or 2 and see what is release. The TestFlight version I...

    Budget Directiva Project

    I stopped following the original Directiva project when they decided on the Purifi driver, but this thread has my attention. Will be interesting to see what you think of the SIG-180. Dayton Audio does provide a distortion graph for it. They (unfortunately) don't specify the test conditions...

    Monoprice Monolith Encore T5 speaker, listening impressions of a cheapskate

    This is a bit late since the T5 $90/speaker sale is over, but anyone who did buy them may find this information interesting. I disassembled one of my T5 speakers and analyzed the components. See the attachment for my results: Driver data including frame measurements, measured Thiele-Small...

    Monoprice Monolith Encore T5 speaker, listening impressions of a cheapskate

    I bought a pair and plan on doing a teardown. I did get a surprise when I used pink noise to break them in: the top mid-woofer moved a lot more (twice as much?) as the two bottom woofers. I'm wondering if they're 4 ohm drivers and the bottom two are in series. Won't know for sure until I get...

    Unbranded ADC from eBay - measurements

    Thanks for posting the PCB pictures. I’ve ordered one and plan on trying some mods to improve the performance. It looks like the ADC chip is a Cirrus Logic (or copy) CS5340. I’m guessing that R3/C8 and R4/C9 are first order filters for the inputs instead of using the recommended op amp. My first...
