Remember hi-fi stores demo-ing graphic EQs back in the day? Just look at that curve! :D

Interesting timeline!

You can count me in as a fellow dinosaur.

For over 50 years I have gone to great lengths to try to recreate what the engineer put down on the record or CD. I've given up on trying to accurately...

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 had made a 100% analog version to compare with the...

Great! Glad it worked out.

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 between his beliefs and my own. I had thought that his...

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 '70s, but wasn't that thrilled with the Stan...

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.

Interesting find.

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

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

"Q" refers to the width of a filter's...

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.

Listening to the symphony there is no way to capture...

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 gear that I see in the magazines or the shows. I...

Looking at the photograph, the connections are exactly like what is shown in the schematic. A photograph of the woofer would be helpful. Does it have spade lugs or does it have spring terminals?

...

Without any firsthand knowledge of these speakers I am not sure what the problem is. Are you saying that the woofer needs these polarized spade connectors and the input panel needs bare wire?

Most...

Since the red and black wires are connected directly to the green and green/black wires you can go either way... you could even connect the red and green wire to the woofer and the black and...

I hope it's nothing serious. Thank you for the update.

I am so over Harman. Such a shame, but it has been a fairly straight-line progression downwards since the mid 2000s. :(

Very cool, glad he...

Do Rolex watches or Bentley SUVs make sense? Not to me. Does an Aston Martin Vantage? No, but I would buy one if I could afford it.

It is a hobby! There are no wrong answers. If your _____ makes...

Yes, thanks for the update. I treated several LE15As years ago, but didn't keep them long enough to know what the long term results were.

From my experience, you need to be super careful...

Yep... and many companies offered kits that allowed your average weekend warrior the ability to put together a speaker that looked first rate like these do.

I would set these up with a pair of...

The ones that Kenrick offers are very faithful reproductions and are well made. Short of finding an original pair, I would go with the Kenrick lenses.

Nice setup!
How do you like the Aurender? A friend has the Aurender W20SE and loves the sound but is rather frustrated by the interface.

Probably more important that a crossover rebuild. ;) You...

Ok guys, we want a full report with pictures if possible!

Thanks for pointing this out. I will forward this info to the team.

Geez, you know how to have fun. Get better soon!

As you may have noticed, the forum was off line and/or buggy earlier today. Due to behind the scenes maintenance, the server that our forum uses needed to be moved.

I think the maintenance is now...
