Every Oppo I've bench tested, I checked the bass management and reported on it in the associated reviews. All of them operated pretty similarly though the slopes were a tad shallow on the BDP-105.

I think he meant the speaker would produce a flatter response driven by a constant voltage source rather than varying it based on impedance to try to always keep it at 1watt. I will ask him to clarify the next time I speak with him.

Not sure why you felt the need to start a new thread for this article rather than post on the existing one? You need to go back and re-read the article b/c you misunderstood several points. The Ideal Voltage Source/Flat Frequency response was talking about the amplifier, NOT the speaker. 1...

What do you mean? Define wattage at the beginning? We have 3 articles on loudspeaker power handling which I linked up at the bottom of the first page.

Thanks, I thought I did, but will update now.

The main article image shows up small but here is the expanded image that was taken at CEDIA a few years back at the Transparent Cable booth.

Floorstanding surrounds is good if you can place the listening seats far enough away from the surrounds otherwise they will tend to be too localizable. It may be preferred for music, but not as much for movies.

You cannot simply average the SPL data without applying some sort of weighing to the average if you want it to have some sort of real meaning to it. I discuss this here in our Bassaholic Room Size Rating Protocol: Audioholics Subwoofer Room Size Rating Protocol — Reviews and News from Audioholics

The driver has dual voice coils. ! amp per coil, allows for better heat dissipation and power handling for the driver.

How about throwing up some images?

Guys; If someone could tabulate all of the remaining issues with the new forum into one post, I will submit them to our web developer to see if he can resolve them. thx.

Correction to Preview Article Based on the CEA data presented by Mark, I changed out the 134dB SPL claim to 125dB and also included the measurement info in the article as listed below: 10 hz 31.6% 99.5 12.5 hz 28.2% 106.7 16 hz 22.4% 111.3 20 hz...

Agreed with you about the Velodyne measurement software being pretty much a useless endeavor if you even remotely care about accuracy. But the manual EQ is the most flexible I've used and essential in my setup. But I still must use external measurement devices since Velodyne's resolution is...

I have some new data on the driver mechanics: <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Mechanical Xmax is 1.7 inches (not peak-to-peak). Linear Xmax is approximately 1 inch (not peak-to-peak). The brochure should have said 4” diameter dual 1.75”-long voice coils. There are of course also...

We are working on a preview article on this sub and sending Revel a list of questions to answer. so far they have given us the following info: The rated output is 115dB or greater above 30Hz, and you can set it for “Normal,” at which it is -3dB at 20 Hz, or “Extended,” at which it is -3dB at...

Funny as I was writing this, I was thinking the very same thing :)

The bigger box volume increases the natural HPF of the system so at lower F the system requires less power to hit the same SPL levels. So below the corner frequency is where you'll see the big change in efficiency and a reduction in required power to achieve the same SPL level. Hope that helps.

Actually it should sound more like dark chocolate based on the color of the jackets :) These are good cables, I have them too!

Great Idea. I will talk to Clint about setting something like this up at the show.

Last time we moved the show off location to Orlando the turnout was terrible. I like the location we chose this year. It's close to Tampa airport and Clearwater beach and its a bridge off from Sarasota where there is quick a big Audio Society membership presence.
