Thank you! Very useful.

That looks good. Thank you very much! Have you used any Visaton drivers in your designs? Or have you found anything interesting in your measurements? I made two pairs of boxes with their drivers (one pair of floorstanders and one pair of bookshelves) and now I would like to build 3-way...

Which model? That is the question! :) But yes, TI100 definitely is on my shortlist. Thanks for the info!

Hi everybody! Has anyone measured the harmonic distortion of Visaton midrange drivers? Or has anyone got any THD graphs for Visaton midranges? Or are those measurements available online? I have done some search but with no success.

And what about source (mains) impedance impact on power amplifiers? For example, PS Audio often point it out in their marketing claims. IMO, it is much easier, cheaper and more effective to do it in the power source stage of an amp itself (robust transformer, rectifier and capacitors), so stuff...

Background vocals coming from behind the front baffle? Sounds like a cool Hi-Fi feature. :)

In my opinion, the fundamental question is: Are humans able to distinguish 12kHz sine wave from 12kHz sawtooth (or any other) signal with the same level (...of what? RMS? Amplitude? 1st harmonic amplitude...)? The second harmonic is ultrasonic, so the answer is probably "no". Therefore I doubt...

Hey, this is not fair! All the fancy gear you mention is too expensive for me. Is there any cheaper stuff for poor DIYers who would like to taste some snake oil?

By the way, could you please provide some hints on how to avoid inter-sample overs? Does it require a special DAC or other hardware / software..? Or do I stray too much from the main topic?

I fully agree with you, I know what loudness war is (more loudness = more people tuning in your radio/TV station = more money from ads) but IMHO that should be done in broadcasting studios, not in recording studios.

Not sure if the problem is intersample overs in this case... I don't know if it's just the way it was ripped on Spotify but, for example, in the song called Cowboy, you can clearly hear the distortion when the three sing together. Or am I missing something? I had an itch to buy the CD but then I...

Yes, this can be seen quite often nowadays. And it drives me mad too. Why do they ruin what could otherwise be a great music...? One good example is an album called "Woman to Woman" by Beverley Craven, Judie Tzuke and Julia Fordham. Gorgeous songs but the recording quality is awful - a lot of...

It's funny... recently I downloaded the Clandestine Amigo album from PS Audio's Octave Records - I was curious what a "properly" recorded music sounds like on my stereo. I must say I really liked it but when I stuck my phone with a spectrum analyzer app in front of the tweeter, there was a...

Well, using a voltage divider on speaker outputs is not what I need - I was hoping I could use signal from the input of the power amplifier section with the ability to control signal level using the AVR's volume knob. That would, of course, require some re-wiring inside the AVR ;-) which is not...

Oh, that was quick! Thank you! And sorry for my stupid question. Another appropriate answer could be "RTFM"... :)

Hi folks! After building a pair of DIY speakers (modified Visaton 2-way kit), I'm tempted to build a DIY power amplifier. Currently, I have my speakers connected to a relatively cheap Onkyo AVR (TX-SR393) with a line level output. I like the AVR's practicallity (HDMI inputs, Bluetooth etc.) so I...
