    Dutch & Dutch 8c Review

    Welcome to ASR Talal! That looks to be a very Kool innovation for hiding your speakers when not in use. I look forward to seeing some photos of the completed designs. Many members are always looking for ways to make their systems more visually acceptable to their partners and others. Good luck...

    Marantz Cinema 30

    I still tend to wonder how far beyond collecting the licensing fees Dolby and the rest care about individual manufacturers AVR are implementing the coding? We have seen how far off the grid things can drift when no one pays attention, can we find a way to measure these things and keep an eye...

    Hi-End Floor Standing Speaker Production Process / 落地揚聲器製作過程 (音響製造) - Taiwan Speaker Factory

    I'm not going to take this thread all political but just personally, I do take into consideration China's position on human rights for their citizens and avoid purchases from that nations products when I can. YMMV

    Hi-End Floor Standing Speaker Production Process / 落地揚聲器製作過程 (音響製造) - Taiwan Speaker Factory

    I was surprised that the magnet structure was simply glued together but what do I know? Nothing for sure. The woofer cone material with the rough ridged surface is something I don't remember seeing before either? I'm not saying its good or bad, again I have no knowledge here.

    Marantz Cinema 30

    First BTW, Welcome to ASR! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your Marantz AVR Sometimes it can be the little things that add to the enjoyment of a product. I've had a little Emotiva DC-1 DAC that Amir measured here some years back. It also has a metal cased remote and though it is a bit heavy...

    Marantz Cinema 30

    Ain't it sweet! IMHO we can thank Amir, Archimago, Audioholics, Erins Corner, and a number of other objective reviewers. It's they who have brought the industry back out of the stone ages of pure subjective reviews that have been the leaders for the dark side of audio for the last 3 or 4...

    Horns - Necessary to complete the Audiophile Journey?

    I don't think so, that is a gigantic horn, the mouth is at least 7' tall and it's a good twice that wide, I could only guess at the deepness of the throat. I don't understand the language but he didn't state the -3db point or if he's using EQ of any type but as an off the cuff guess I believe...

    Horns - Necessary to complete the Audiophile Journey?

    Lowest distortion, efficiency, etc. But extremely few have the room for a true horn subwoofer.

    Buckeye Amps: New US based Hypex multichannel amplifier builder, line-up announcement!

    Agreed, but for my money I buy them direct from Monoprice. The juggernaut Amazon doesn't need a cut of my cash. ;)

    Horns sound this way? Ribbons sound that way?

    Thanks for the offer, much appreciated but to be honest I would have very little interest. My passion has for many years been focused on multich reproduction which would mostly exclude this type of speaker and their radiation pattern designs.

    Horns sound this way? Ribbons sound that way?

    A large headphone perspective that now includes the room interaction. I'll withhold my personal opinion on this. LOL

    Horns sound this way? Ribbons sound that way?

    Yep, I remember them all. Time flies when your having fun. Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. LOL

    SVS SB-2000 Pro vs SB-3000 Subwoofer Review

    He didn't state any SPL but did mention wanting to running tones in the 10 to 30Hz range to 'feel' the bass I don't image you can begin to "feel" the bass at 10hz at quiet levels.

    Horns sound this way? Ribbons sound that way?

    Oh man, there's a name I haven't heard in years. Kool stuff to read about, back in the day, but things I could never afford. Here's a short article on the man by his son Rick https://www.cs.colostate.edu/~ross/personal/harold/BevHistory2.html And a ancient Stereophile review...

    Denon Replaces AKM AK4458 DAC IC in X4700H and X6700H

    Oh for sure, I just know my sighted bias would sent the rating up 2 slots if I had the "Golden Fleece" DAC's . LOL
