    Tip of The Day: Mixing and Matching Speakers

    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.

    Funk Audio 18.2 Dual 18" Sealed Subwoofer Preview

    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

    Revel reintroduces their $10,000 sealed 18" sub

    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...

    Revel reintroduces their $10,000 sealed 18" sub

    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...

    Revel reintroduces their $10,000 sealed 18" sub

    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.

    Sony Launches New High-End ES Speaker Lineup

    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.

    Sony Launches New High-End ES Speaker Lineup

    Sorry guys but I cannot move the show too far away from home base. There is a lot of planning my wife does with the hotel to get things all set making it hard to travel to another state.
