Excellent point. Assuming the digital masters were well made and the analog transfer made well, I doubt any of us could hear the difference if they...

As far as I can tell, nobody complained about the digital files until the Mobile Fidelity guys told us about them.

could anybody find out the measurements yet? Please help as Im desperately searching as I want to rebuild the MTX200 Stands.... I appreciate all...

It's true c70 and this c78 aren't the most attractive. The tops are too wide. I've never heard c70s. Passive radiated early L100s. Probably sound...

Great! Glad it worked out. Widget

I did it. Thanks guys. It was my fear indeed

+1 I have only met him once years ago at a trade show. We spent some time together in a side room and I was struck by how wide the gulf was...

Yep, a friend sent me the link yesterday. Interesting. I am not really a fan of MoFi. I have a few of their vinyl discs that I bought back in the...

The article is typical of the Washington Post; thorough, well researched, and well written. The only error I spotted came early; Michael Fremer is...

Cool item anyway just for the nostalgia of it. From the days when your parent had a " hi Fi " My Mom still has a cabinet hi fi...too funny.

Yes it is a TERRIBLE disease for sure. I'm sorry for you and your family. I care give for my Mother and I know first hand the pain it causes to to...

I have the S70 Alpha speakers to go with your equipment cabinet. Ugly furniture and mediocre sound quality. A perfect match for yours! ;)

That was sold as an empty piece of furniture. There could have been a JBL SA600 integrated amp or almost any brand of audio gear in there. ...

1. I have the V8 2. I have never had a Volvo motor come apart on me. Not even when I lost my oil cooler hose going over I 70, in Colorado. 3. I...

That one confused me. My assumption is that you lack power in your low horn performance and feel like you're going to come apart when pushed to...

Yes that's it. I think there is a VLF high pass in there to sharpen the knee and give subsonic protection bellow 20Hz. Can't find any info though. ...

Hey Rob, so what is that: Q=2, +6 dB @ 25Hz and a second order butterworth crossover at 125Hz? Widget

As Mr. Widget replied that is the filter used in the BX-63 and that can easily be duplicated using DSP. I have a crown amp for my HT subs and use the...

Derek. Research the ( discontinued ) Synthesis 3S3 subwoofer. It's passive and uses the well regarded le120h (12" ) woofer that's found in the L7...

Virtually all true subwoofers as opposed to woofers require some form of frequency optimization. This can be via an active or passive analog network...

Sitting in an orchestra gives a very different perspective than sitting in the audience. I suppose that being a low brass player, I'm looking for...

Pretty clear from the pattern pressed by the metal grill in to the gasket that this driver was in a PA box and likely lived a hard life. Covering the...

Speaking of M&K subwoofers, the M&K "Volkswoofer" has quite consistently garnered decent reviews for it's musicality ( which I assume means it...

A B380 is out of my price range, I think. Can't remember the last time I saw one and yeah, they're usually without the BX-63 dealio. +6dB Q2...

retnev, There's not a lot of info about the various 417 versions. I doubt older Altecs from 70's and 80's would have been made by EV, but from...

Thanks, I'll give it a read. I'd love to give them a listen, easier said then done with many speakers these days.

I listen to a lot of live classical music and see a few operas every year... I am mostly a rock and jazz fan, but am musically mostly agnostic. ...

Finally! Now I know who buys that expensive stuff! :duck: Sorry, yes I am being sarcastic, but honestly I really don't know who buys the high end...
