speaker

The other day, when performing near-field measurements of my study speakers (as part of designing a crossover for them), I started getting feedback when measuring close to the tweeter (Seas D2010/8513) with no test signal being generated. Measurement setup was: PC USB->Scarlett 2i2 audio...

Thanks to @hardisj for another review! https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/kef_q650c_center/ This is the 2.5-way center channel from Kef, which retails for US$750/ea. Preference score (as per Erin): 3.5 (or 5.8 /w sub) Conclusion: Discuss!

Dear ASR Members, This is my first time posting in the forums so a bit nervous. I have a small room (12x11x10) and want to get a decent pair or 2.1 system studio monitors for it. I have been using the Rokit 6 G3s for 7 years now and feel like it’s time for an upgrade. I have treated the room...

Which is the best performer, best features and best buck for the value? I don't have a lot of money. I like the look of LEAK STEREO 130 but the PS Audio Sprout 100 seems to do the most. Sprout100 - PS Audio Cyrus ONE HD - High Resolution integrated amplifier STEREO 130 I don't know much about...

Hello I am new to all this and have never been here before. I hope this is ok to ask. I would like this setup and wondering if someone can say if this setup is ok or is there a cheaper or better setup for the money. Its a AUDIO-GD A1 Balanced Power amplifier ACSS XLR 2x200W 4 Ohms and this...

First of all, I would like to thank everyone in this website. I'm definitely learning a lot from all of your advice and posts. Sorry for bothering you with more newbie question but can you sit TOO CLOSE to your monitor speakers (Polk R200 to be specific)? I've been watching videos on YouTube...

Hello! I have Focal Shape Twins with Burson Composer Dac\Preamp for my desktop setup for music, gaming and movies. So wanted to ask, what would be the logical upgrade for active near field speakers\monitors for the same application. Focal Trio6 BE? Focal Trio11 BE? Or they are better for studio...

This thread will serve as my log for iterations of this project. I am sharing it publicly for reference and constructive criticism. I am not a speaker design expert, or an audiophile guru. I'm some nerd with irregular, long bursts of free time and a rabbit hole. Building speaker kits was very...

I like to hear music while cooking. I have a Yamaha Pianocraft receiver in the kitchen. With the small (passive) speakers placed in the room corners, I could help their weak bass reproduction a bit. Until a while ago, I was satisfied with the sound that they create. However, "a while ago" I...

Hi, I wonder what speakers would be worth to pair with the D90SE Would the Genelec 8030C Studio Monitors be good? I'd prefer to have my setup with no sub as I live in a flat on a 2nd floor and below me there is a dental clinic room and I don't want to bother anyone (Lulz), I never turn my...

Hey all, I've been reading more and more about speaker design since I built my first set and I have an idea I'd hope to be able to execute in a few years. The 4" Tang Band midbass drivers I have on my desk are impressing the hell out of me with their low end. Tang Band clearly knows how to...

Hello, I hope you're doing good. I am pretty new to this forum and to audio things too. I am a newbie, indeed. The thing is I want to buy the edifiers r2000db, which are the ones available on my country at the moment, but they do not have a Coaxial input. They do have RCA and Optical inputs. I...

Are they meant to sound this way? Like the measurements below, they are pretty dull on the high end. Do the measurements look like they're broken in any way? If they're not (both speakers measure similarly), what could the consideration be for such a sonic design? I've no idea what generation...

Are there any objective means of determining the degree of speaker toe-in, or is it best determined by ear? I feel it has something to do with horizontal directivity and beamwidth measurements, and possibly room measurements. Any help would be appreciated.

I started getting into DIY audio as a way to save money, pass time, learn more, and increase my daily quality of life at home during the pandemic. This was rewarding and enriching, I can't imagine I'm the only one who started for similar reasons. Who else caught the DIY bug after being stuck...

Hey all, longtime reader and first time poster. The objective nature of this forum is refreshing, to say the least. It's also turned me on to the idea of EQ'ing my nearfield monitors and headphones. For now, I haven't attempted to measure or correct room gain or reflections at all. Using...

https://www.fostex.jp/products/rs-n2/ Only recently discovered these Fostex speakers. Price is ¥2,178,000（税込）／1台 which I assume means for 1 unit. So take two zeroes off thats roughly a whopping $21,780 per unit. Design is 3-way Bass Reflex with 12-inch (30cm) woofer, 5-inch (13cm) mid-range...

Hi, looking to build a set of spherical speakers. Let's say I use the Dayton Audio PS220. The Vas of that speaker is 90.2 liters. Using this calculator that leaves me with a sphere of lets say r=281.89mm. I'm using 24mm thick baltic birch plywood so let's keep the wall of that sphere the same...

Hi all, Does anyone have a DIY passive speaker kit recommendation for a first timer? This would be for use near-field on a desk. In my office at work, so something that sounds good at low volumes. I listen to a wide variety of music and listen to a lot of hip-hop, so a speaker with little bass...
