Flip the driver and make some weird-ass lookin' speaker boxes.

Ananda= soundtracks and violins. Elex=acoustics. Verite=Rock!. HEKse=classical and jazz. Speakers=pianos and vocals.

This is pretty cool

TL;dr
"... in the bass range a dipole loudspeaker is better suited for music reproduction in a small room acoustic space than a monopole loudspeaker."

I wonder how this would change with extensive EQ. With that said, there is something special about dipole bass. Too bad you need a stadiums worth of moving area.

Fuck you, buddy! I spent so much time on that bubble!

At least it gets you to places, so what that for an ill reason, hahaha :D I remember @purr1n having a saying (long ago) about tinkerers and DIY-ers who overestimate their effort results.

My head is spinning from just looking at that circle

"Fear Inoculum" turns you into the honey badger? Damn, you must not have fear. I learnt to swim today, a 7empest requires some survival skills...

Aside from 7empest this album is a dud. I mean, I get how playing in neato 13/8 and 5/4 and 7/4 time signatures has become Tool's schtick, but seriously, if that's the only novelty they capture why not just go back and listen to Trout Mask Replica? Lateralus, FTW. It's not "great music" if the only thing you're surprised by is which 1/8th note are they gonna not palm mute this time through the riff.

Napoleon was dynamite. France revolted, he won many battles and became emperor while Europe was on the brink of collapse. Even when banished people still loved him. He fucked up and the French still wanted him to go to Waterloo.

Also Tool fans talk about Tool, we cannot help it. Sorry for that.

Talk away! But when it's cringy you might hear from the peanut gallery.

Faith vs reason might be a false dichotomy. Hofstadter's take on Godel's theorem, to me, is an argument that any system necessarily involves some degree of faith to operate. And the resulting systems from this faith standpoint yield internal reasoning which reflects and extends from this assumptive starting place in a perpetual feedback loop.

Hofstadter develops this idea of a 'strange loop' in a more phenomenological context in 'I Am A Strange Loop' - definitely worth a read if you're into contemporary philosophy.

Then, listen the same radio through my quality rigs and get annoyed as hell. There really isn't one to rule them all.

It means there was something better to do

Gotta love SB Acoustics (and simple crossovers), but at the risk of repeating myself...damn, he really has the worst taste ever for wood veneers.

I have had some lewd IEM's, maybe even perverted, but never slutty. Lucky you!

My top picks: DMG Audio EQuick, Waves EQ collections, ProQ and Electri-q.

@BenjaminBore the TDR Nova is solid. Thanks! I don't know if it's linear phase or what it is, but it doesn't offend too much.

I wouldn’t call it transparent, but for the price of free it’s damn good.

Where do you guys work to enjoy open back headphones? *Crying in my open space office*.

There isn’t hd800 in amazon USA anymore. Some units are in Japan dealers costing 2k. RIP

I have an open office, too. Nobody either gives a shit or is too afraid to confront me, hahaha. I know my close (nginjeer friends) neighbors don't mind. Mostly people point at the EC stack and ask 'what the hell is that?' or 'Is it for retro looks?' - these sort of reactions.

Me thinks the inductor should short DC from the tweeter, so most of it will be burned in R1. I'm surprised too however. Those are very low order filters. The 18WE woofer seems to be running 2.5 way with the 21WE. Which in turn are running something like 2.5 with the 32WE? Maybe call that 2.75? Who knows. He seemed hell bend to avoid caps.

Ran some numbers. Inductor and tweeter are likely 0.2ohm and 3ohm at DC. Padded with an 8ohm resistor and a DC offset of 1V, it would give 24mV across the tweeter. Probably fine.

LOL! You have a good point. I expect about -28.7 dB DC drop across the tweeter relative to DC input power. A capacitor might help there indeed. It's not great, but perhaps not catastrophic. Ironic that many times folks avoid capacitors because of distortion.

This is actually how I felt when interacting for the first time in Changstar. Just like hitting on a hot woman in a pub in my early 20's. Anax was that 9.5 outa 10 hot chick I approached, haha!

Boy, I'm not sure how that analogy would suit him.

Anax was the loud-mouthed guy in the bar that one tried to get as far away from as possible. And hey, some of us get by here on SBAF even though we are deaf!

That 1.5k dip tho... It might not be annoying, but it’s the worst place to have it. I would have chosen a different midrange.

Surprisingly not so much to chose from, if one desires well behaved fr, all the motor tech and still have reasonable eff.

True. I have a hard time finding a better mid than Scanny 12mu. Not cheap, but not ATC money either and much reasonable passband.
