In this constellation common practice was to use the 2245 as a sub. Using both, the 2245 and the 2206 in parallel at different locations within the room would prevent a bit from room modes etc. To...

Do You really think that judging music as music - that is what Mr Shickele is talking about - is the same as judging an audio system for accuracy? Because both should be done by listening?
What...
Isn't it 800Hz? And, what do You take into account when estimating to what a frequency a driver could/should be used?
It seems to me that the 2245 have to be used obligatory.
That's...
So, You miss Yor own requirement regarding qualified judgement in this case. You personally have no aural experience with the 2245 within a 2-way system comprising the given components.
A...
Hi, You don't miss a thing :D Audio gear can not be judged by subjective listening -tests- as they are common with audio amateurs. The question here is: would a 2245, given an optimized systems...
For sure I knew that my very special wisdom will arouse furious antagonism by common wisdom. I gave the hint that the papers on 2226/2245 would fortify my thoughts. Audio is in the end about facts....
Hi,
surely the 18" will operate up to ~500Hz. The 18" is only 20% larger. If a 15" can do well up to ~1kHz the 18" will in linear proportion do well to 800Hz. The other way round the 18" will do...
It depends on the horn/waveguide for the 2445 to what freqency the woofer has to operate.
Once I noticed the 755e are sold for ~755$$ I wondered what this price is paid for. It can't be superiority technical wise for obvious reasons.
What's left is esthetics. The 755e is an "objet...
Me 2. But reiterating people try to press the Century Gold into a role it doesn't fit. At last (by now) again the C/G is named as a "midfield" by experts. That's by definition something in between....
Good one. True vintage at high end. Questionable whether the objective of OP is a reasonable one. At least regarding esthetics.
I don't agree. Stanford claims "((true>> Near-field speakers are designed to be heard in the near field, where the direct sound far exceeds the reflected sound intensity. ((wrong>> Near field...
I might be arrogant to state such, but Stanford is obviously wrong:
"... near field, mid field, and far field.
These terms refer to the listener’s relative perception of the direct to...
Ah! Caught. You were told to take care: Do not inhale! The link I gave You was for scientific purposes only :D
So You are as all of us some kind of "prone to the persuation that ancient...
You nearly hit the target. With the 755xyz driver we're back to 1949(?). In the post You read I gave to consider that then a tight sealing was of minor importance. The "Acoustic Suspension" has had...
Hi Greg,
Nice talk You gave and way comprehensive. I dropped You a PM.
Thanks!
Let me please illustrate my estimation that in this special case sealing is not a primary duty.
The driver is small compared to the box. This is not an "Acoustic Suspension" design. The box...
Hi,
Monitoring is by JBL related to directivity (e/g model 4430/5). Directivity is a complex topic. My own experiences with it are home grown. I never had a genuine JBL box at hands. By now I try...
Hoerniger, I had to tell a thing or two about Your comment regarding me rejecting near/midfield definitions. The philosopher in me, whom You mentioned below, considers audio terms most common ill...
oops me too: what for? The sealing of the cabinet isn't to much of an issue. The driver will not build up that much pressure. Technically speaking, resonances from less than perfect sealing would...
I considered to pull Valentin and Hoerniger into some argument. Just to amuse the native speakers here with broken English from exagerated audio enthusiasts. That would have put me into ridicule too....
If You look at the graph Zilch posted You'll see lacking trebble even on axis. I expect the trebble out of axis nearly all gone. That should affect stereo imaging a lot.
Did You measure Your...
Hi,
what is near/mid/farfield with a source built up from regular speakers plus a subwoofer or two/three ...
The definition doesn't hold. It is derived from the differential equation for the...
Yeah, as mentioned the C/G is engineered neither as a near/ nor a midfield speaker. Somebody recapitulated that in the very beginning. It's a bookshelf speaker for home use with some arbritary and...
Hi,
let me translate Your question:
a) what is near/midfield at all
b) what kind near/midfield is the century gold
concluding to
c) how do I use it best as I allready own it
(a) At what...
