    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...

    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...
