They have plenty of output for this use case. I would not use them further than 1m, but I have them at 0.5m and have never seen a clipping light.

Sorry but this is wrong. You are correct that lobing occurs when two drivers are playing the same frequency, if those drivers are separated by a physical distance more than 1/4 wavelength. In any crossover between two drivers, each is playing the same frequency across some portion of the range...

I'm not really sure why it would reduce lobing. It seems more likely to shift the two lobes so they're asymmetric, as Kal suggested. Their marketing states it *eliminates* lobing, but not how. I find it very strange they make a very specific claim about measurements but don't publish any at all...

$1500 US for a 2(.5)-way center is a lot of money, IMO. This should be a 3-way and what they've done is a cost cutting measure if anything.

It doesn't come with screws, you would need different screws depending which speaker brand you're using, I think. Genelecs take M6 metric screws on the back, I used M6x16 with a couple of rubber washers. You would want slightly shorter, like M6 x 12 or 14 if you're not using thick washers.

pre-flood there wasn't a major streaming service run by a multi-trilliion dollar company explicitly paying financial premiums/benefits for surround mixes. The Apple Music execs apparently think that Atmos is the future and they easily have the power to single handedly create that future. Also...

Is it really that fast? I think this is just an example of some investment, no magic at all. Apple Music mostly bans algorithmic content and while some has slipped through, they do remove it as soon as they find it, I've seen it happen. I can't find a recent source on exactly how many Atmos...

Thanks for the kind words and Merry Christmas + Happy New Year to you as well! a) In terms of surround audio there is limited benefit to larger L/R speakers than the center. The center plays the vast majority of audio in most multi-channel tv/movie tracks and averages significantly louder than...

Yeah I understand that, I was just presenting the data I have. I am sure compression starts in the 90s below 50hz. I am not sure what happens between 50-100hz. It's a pain to retest this because I'll need to disable the subs and redo GLM to try to get the low end as flat as I can, and even then...

FWIW I haven't tested as low as 40hz because i think subs are a requirement but I have tested compression in room @ 2.8m with a single 8351B crossed at 100hz. It's dead flat at 100dB and there's maybe 1dB of compression at 105dB in the mid 100s. The speaker is several feet away from the walls...

This doesn't apply to the 8030C unfortunately but the GLM monitors can have a suspend delay as low as 2 minutes and come out of suspend in well under 1 second. This makes them practically silent for most use cases.They are also quieter to begin with, close to Neumann self noise levels. Neumanns...

If you have 8361As then presumably you've run GLM and you have measurements of each channel at the listening position(take a screenshot). If you posted them you would get better responses and more actionable advice.

Ok. Look in the manual.

That's probably the best case scenario too. Tariffs that affect a significant % of vendors in the market could cause additional price increases as the reduced demand requires even higher prices to make up for lower sales numbers. And even companies less affected by tariffs may choose to raise...

It's not clear to my why ASR having a bad reputation on "certain places" is a problem with ASR, or why it's ASR's job to change its language to appeal to such people? I would argue the opposite. If those people want to learn something they can change their attitudes. If not, who cares? ASR is...

Lots of good suggestions already...but keep in mind that unless you are planning to put your head in a vice, sub centimeter accuracy is not that useful for speaker positioning.

I see, so instead you buy a speaker that sounds one specific way, and instead of knob twiddling you have to switch speakers out to change the sound of your system. That definitely sounds easier. "I don't like that idea" is not a convincing or useful reply to the advice of the person who wrote...

You use EQ or "tone controls" to adjust for different recordings, you don't change out your speakers. As Dr. Toole posted many times.

There are tons of differences other than the tweeter, and it's quite strange to just randomly pick it like that. Dunno why people are so often concerned with driver materials, unless you're the actual speaker designer they don't matter. For example, the Salon 2 have significantly wider...

It's for 1. It was $1875 last year, * 2 * 1.05(tax) = $3937.5 / 1.37(exchange rate) = $2874 USD. Currently they're about the same price as in the US, though you can probably get a 10% discount or something by talking to them. Unless you really need them ASAP I would just keep an eye out for...
