    Monoprice Encore B6 Bookshelf Review (by Erin)

    This isn't diffraction, otherwise the LW/on-axis difference would be greater. EDIT: or maybe it is, it shows in the raw contours, but my point still stands. And the short term compression test having a fit at that exact point points to something else (breakup/resonance possibly from the horn...

    Monoprice Encore B6 Bookshelf Review (by Erin)

    Very good! Distortion was a bit worrying with 1% of H3 at 86 dB, but it stays the same at 96, so no problem (especially with both pair gain and boundary gain). The thing at 10 kHz (some resonance or soft tweeter early breakup, seeing the compression result) is of small consequence on music material.

    Has civility on ASR declined recently?

    These laws aren't without inconvenients. Here at least (France, "real" programming), this means low productivity incompetents can continue without worries and that salaries are quite lower than in the states (even when considering the way higher taxes on stuff like fuel or VAT). When you...

    Bi-amp? I see no mention of crossover in your post.

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

    I'd wager way reduced SBIR and near wall reflections from Erin's written impressions. The whole "no need for subwoofers, amplifiers nor external DSP" thing may also be a factor.

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

    I'd say the horizontal directivity kink at 1 kHz. Otherwise, it's an exceptional speaker; it's even good looking (except the woofer texturer, for me). And compared to the 8c, it doesn't have the thorough LF directivity control EDIT: strike that last one or any potential mention of coaxial...

    Topping PA5 Review (Amplifier)

    Only missing a clipping LED/LED colour. Every amplifier should have one, especially the ones with such a modest power rating.

    Genelec 8361A Review (Powered Monitor)

    Isn't the BBC dip off-axis (maybe power response, too)? Or are we talking about the obsolete mechanism to get a smooth sound power without waveguide entailing an on-axis dip to compensate for the woofer/tweeter directivity mismatch? From my understanding, it was purposedly made for the OB van...

    Meyer Sound Amie & Subwoofer detailed measurements

    Too bad about the non-constant directivity and price.

    Fact or Crap? There is no replacement for displacement.

    Motional feedback is the only mechanism I know of that can increase usable excursion, but even then it simply doesn't replace more woofer area.

    GGNTKT M3 yes M3 Formerly known as M2!

    Wouldn't you be able to reclaim a bit of power by offering a cardioid tuning in between the 30 Hz (which I doubt is that useful when it's well below usual transition frequencies) and natural 200 Hz? Something like 100 Hz, for example.

    GGNTKT M3 yes M3 Formerly known as M2!

    So you'll also get a max SPL at fixed THD graph? Because I really wonder how loud it can get.

    GGNTKT M3 yes M3 Formerly known as M2!

    Looking incredible. If it is near 10~11k €, it'll beat the crap out of D&D and Kii. Now, if only it had something like Dirac (or better, a cross-platform soft by the DSP maker) inside, it'd be literally perfect.
