That assumes the amplitude remains the same which it doesn't as can be seen in David's analysis when adding more braces. You also need to look at more than a single point on the cabinet to see how the resonance modes change when stiffening is added. Aside from simulations and analysis, I know...

When I covered the new Status 8T speakers I posted the question: Sports car or new speakers? In this case, you'd have to say New House or Speakers? However if one is contemplating a new $200k home, they probably can't afford these speakers. :eek:

It's exceeds lunacy since the analog noise floor never exceeds more than 19-20 bits at best due to Johnson noise.

RBH is working on a dual 1212 model as a stand alone unit but it will be big, heavy and expensive. They do have a single 1010 version as I mentioned which should compete favorably with a good 15" model. see:Subwoofer: RBH SX-1010P Powered Subwoofer It's kinda ridiculous we've never...

Their standard signature product is a bit lacking below 25Hz, I totally agree. But their Signature SE/R uses this driver: We've yet to formerly review a sub with this driver but I've got 4 of them in my T30s and the bass they produce is certainly not lacking. Attached is an in-room...

On the Status Acoustics 8T yes I believe its this tweeter: Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00 1" Tweeter Beryllium Dome: Madisound Speaker Store on the RBH T30-LSE, they use the Scan Speak 9500 which is an absolute gem!

do you prefer white or brown eggs? :D

LOL that can be said by any upper echelon products. I'm still salivating over these beauties: Lansche Model No. 7 $100k Floorstanding Loudspeakers Preview — Reviews and News from Audioholics

We do our best to report as accurately as possible. Of course subjective experience always plays a big role regardless of measurements. In loudspeakers, measurements NEVER really give you the whole picture no matter how much data you attempt to collect. It's an art as much as a science which...

Topic of Distortion I thought it would be appropriate to address the topic of distortion. I spoke in detail about this topic with Philip Bamberg who is better versed in LMS than any loudspeaker engineer I've met. The graph Ian posted is an LMS plot. I use the same LMS system Ian uses and...

Guys; I believe this is the tweeter used in the new Status 8T speaker. Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6640-00 1" Tweeter Beryllium Dome: Madisound Speaker Store (Note the price $508/ea! and weighs nearly 1.5lbs) Insane! :eek:

Some people like the colored sound of a tube. When they clip the sound is pleasing and warm whereas a solid state amp clipping can be harsh. Of course a solid state amp typically is a lot harder to clip b/c it usually has more headroom. We preview all relevant new products from CES. Why...

Oh geez will this ever end? I mean we did the shootout almost 2 years ago and while they were advertising no less. Their speakers did pretty darn well too! It took them 3 years after our Estore launch to feel uncomfortable about us licensing our name for a storefront? Their initial...

I think these speakers should be added to the list :) Status Acoustics 8T Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Haha OMG that gave me a good laugh :D Introducing the new Wire Escalators, It continually varies the distance of your wires from the floor to reduce stray eddy currents by introducing a variable magnetic flux density which modulates out of phase with the audio signal. :rolleyes:

Here it is, but its going to be called a Status 8T not Titus 2 like I thought: Status Acoustics 8T Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Speaker wires can be shielded but I see very little need to do so unless you live near a HAM radio antenna or running a badly designed Class D amp that radiates high F junk. See: Bulletproofing Your System from Interference — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Static electricity is Static! Signals propagating down a speaker cable are alternating. The two do NOT mix and the former is so weak it wouldn't matter if it did. I wonder what happens when one has wood floors? Do they no longer have to worry about the "static electricity"? What you...

People don't watch video overviews if they are more than 3-5 minutes from what we've found. Back in the day we used to do very long videos and they just didn't get viewed as much. This is why we wrap our videos in a detailed text writeup so people that care to know more can do so via reading...

Section 4.3 of CEA 2010 is hogwash. Nobody would dream of using it to justify doing max output tests indoors. You can't get reliable distortion results and hence accurate max output results. Brent doesn't publish distortion results which makes his erratic #s suspect.
