    A real DIY speaker, components and all.

    This guy didn't just build a box and put some commercial drivers and crossovers into it. He built all of it from scratch. Fascinating process, I love to know how it measures.

    Axpona 2023, my show report

    I've been looking at amplifiers and I have noticed that Class A/B amps typically have a peak power output much greater than max power. Class D amps however, don't have any peak power. What are the practical ramifications of this difference? Will it make a difference in how an amp will perform...

    Where to sit when conducting room measurements

    Newbie here, first post. I'm learning a lot in this forum and quickly becoming an audio objectivist. Thanks! When you're doing room measurements with Dirac or REW or whatever, where do you sit? In the listening position? Long story, small room, I've been sitting just outside the room with...
