    Using Out Of Phase Signal To Achieve Best Spatial Result….

    No, it was a different implementation from that. I never heard the "swarm". Unfortunately, I did not ask for more details, and I was really speculating (above) about how such an arrangement should work. However, he did tell me that it was not acting as a conventional sub, but effectively doing a...

    Using Out Of Phase Signal To Achieve Best Spatial Result….

    In one iteration of the late Rodney Gold's system development he used the subwoofers to correct the main system's bass response. To my understanding this would entail applying constructive/destructive correction by applying a conjugate filter to the subs (presumably, with arbitrary equalisation...

    Does oxygen free copper wire make a real difference?

    Corroded copper wire, turned green or black, is one of the most revolting things to find in a system. It is not a common thing, though, as OFC has been widely available for a number of years. It is best to buy from reputable dealers. I don't trust the generic-looking "OFC" wire that is sold at...

    Yamaha NS200 good or not?

    Depends. Which version? IIRC, the model number has been recycled. Their later "NS" speakers don't hold a candle to the original series. https://audio-database.com/YAMAHA/speaker/ns-200m.JPG https://audio-database.com/YAMAHA/speaker/ns-200.JPG

    Mission M35 crossover woes

    If you want any advice about upgrading this speaker, the person who'll know a bit about it is @Brian Bester . FWIW, I agree with what @pwatts said. 1. Unless your caps are shot - which is very rare - you will get little benefit from changing them. Same goes for resistors. 2. Changing from...

    How Should Audiophiles Think About Hearing Loss as They Age?

    In my younger days I was careful to protect my hearing. My favourite party trick was to show my friends how you could practically carry on a normal conversation in a an environment of loud music by plugging your ears. In those days I witnessed music being played at stupendously loud volumes...

    So what’s the deal here!

    The problem is that if you are buying anything "mini", you are buying a compromise. I have been through quite a few small speakers and found that, even though a particular speaker may be an excellent performer in its category, ultimately you find yourself wanting more. The way to ameliorate...

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    The speakers at the end of this video were built by Nicholas Davies and are for sale. Contact details in the vid. Design is by Troels Gravesen and I understand that, though DIY, the parts were professionally fabricated.

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    Sounds like the OP has an acoustics problem. Unless there is the option of adding in some sound treatment (by appearances this is unlikely), your next option is to get speakers that have a narrower radiation pattern, like dipoles (open baffles, electrostats) or cadioid (Kii Three). Some speakers...

One of the modules used in the product is Aus-specific. The customer purchases this module there and ships it...
