    Vibration, diffraction measurements: Revel Salon2, F328Be, M105

    I had posted previously about a tweak to speaker feet that reduced cabinet vibrations and made an audible difference even with frequency response hardly affected. Extending that work, the motivation here was to compare cabinet vibrations among speakers to see if we can learn more about how they...

    Published headphone measurements and Harman's target curve are derived based on measurements using a dummy head, with the intention that it represents an average of human heads. For people whose heads match the dummy's exactly, they should expect perfect Harman sound. What if my head isn't the...

    Revel Salon2 measurably and ABX audibly improved by $5 silicone pads

    My Salon2s had long been sitting flat on my hardwood floor, whereas the manufacturer recommends using the supplied spikes. Do speakers supports matter so much that it's worth potentially damaging my floors and raising an already high tweeter? Intuitively a compliant support such as blutack or...
