    Funk Audio Line Array

    I was able to visit Steve and listen to his system for a few hours. Very interesting sound. Very clean. They were placed for optimum viewing of the video screen. So I was not able to listen to their ability to throw a sound stage. The subwoofer was a little pumped up on the low end, but...

    Ribbon Drivers - Theoretical Question

    "We have a thread going about a Funk line array. I have not yet dared ask how you integrate that seamlessly with a sub. As you well know a perfectly balanced integrated bass is a rarity." Take a shot at asking the question please. The answers might be interesting.

    Funk Audio Line Array

    Sneaky little setting that turns the amplifiers on with a signal. And off without a signal. A good power saving feature to an already very low power usage amplifier suite.

    Funk Audio Line Array

    Simplest way to try them out is ask Nathan for an audition of the 6.1 speakers. The line arrays just sound twelve times better!

    Funk Audio Line Array

    It's just better if you forget about them. The only thing that will happen if you keep thinking about them is a request for purchase. :rolleyes:

    Funk Audio Line Array

    An MTM is not the correct type of horizontal or vertical dispersion characteristic for a proper center channel. Either vertically or horizontally. And yes I know there are a gazillion speakers sold that way. And many, many are compromised designs. We have two in the works. An architectural...

    Funk Audio Line Array

    Actually that would work very well. Same drivers in a different configuration. So same sonic footprint, or tonality. I can't imagine something that would match any better actually.

    Funk Audio Line Array

    Quite a difference. We use a high quality midwoofer. Long excursion low distortion. And cross it over well below where it beams. The use of a moderate sized woofer allows for much less distortion in the low midrange and upper bass areas between 512 and 64 hertz. The planars are exceedingly...

    I'm not sure how Nathan sprays while laying down like that.

    Funk Audio Line Array

    We are going over his testing and distortion measurements in real time. Like now. And they are pretty stinking impressive. So soon, very, very soon!

    Funk Audio Line Array

    Nope. 6 inch drivers. And we can mail you a bib if need be. It is a custom design build house. So we guarantee the bib will be audiophile approved and of oxygen free cotton fiber to conduct all the pristine highs. :D

    How Do You Buy High-End Speakers?

    I have done my best to help define a process without the mention of any direction you should go. I think that is the most prudent way to approach such a opinion filled luxury as to which speaker you should buy. It's your decision. If anything I have said helps you, then at least the time...

    How Do You Buy High-End Speakers?

    There are collectors like Andrew. Not making any fun. But some people take pleasure in trying new and different speakers. I'm in the camp that when I have found what I liked I stick to it. And that is from long experience that there are not that many differences when you get to the good...

    How Do You Buy High-End Speakers?

    Lets just say that I'm looking into it and it would not push up the raw cost by much more than $30 a piece. The Revel drivers are an interesting example. There are only so many quality transducer build houses. I work with one that is not so well known on purpose. He likes it that way. And...

    How Do You Buy High-End Speakers?

    You would faint if I told you how much the diamond dome actually costs. Lets just say it is in the wire category for rip off markup.

    How Do You Buy High-End Speakers?

    For the big boys you divide the driver cost by three. And you take the cabinet cost and divide it by four. I have seen beautiful cabinets sold aat the cost of the materials over here. The trouble is that there is a 500 pc minimum order. The little guys can't dive into the deep end. For...

    Interesting graph. Is that presence peak there at the listening position or just at the measurement position? Sometimes what is on axis disappears in the off axis.
