I had an Australian guy over my place today to fix our Ice Maker that got zapped by lightening. When I asked him how he felt about Steve Irwin's unfortunate passing, he said "it was a tragic loss, he was a great man and a great ambassador". Before today, it didn't even occur to me that he...

Its called sympathetic vibrations and they are insignificant to the sound you are hearing compared to the powered speakers. The salesman needs to lay off the crack pipe while he is on the clock :rolleyes:

The T2p system is a phenominal system regardless of price and is certainly one of the best values out there. The T30-LSE isn't quite as high value as you noted but it has some advantages in its ability to be more resolving and more intimate much like a great bookshelf speaker but with the bold...

It is a new design and new cabinet. The actual model# is the T30-LSE and DOESN"T come with any amplifiers. The retail will be around $15k/pair. The pics you are seeing are the prototype pair I've been testing in the Audioholics Showcase system.

That is one of many characteristics/issues with coaxial drivers. Thermal compression is another which I've found myself most sensitive too when listening to these type of speakers.

Dr. Toole isn't the first to write about the benefit of early reflections on speech intelligiblity in small rooms. Many others have done similar, though not to his level of thoroughness, in the past. Here is one example...

I am not sure I can let the cat out of the bag until CEDIA but lets just say for those who like to tweak stuff to the nth level and have the right tools to measure before and after results, you're gonna love the upgrades :)

Room modes that are much larger in amplitude than room noise behave in a minimum phase manner. The more it is attenuated or corrected in amplitude, the less problematic and inaudible they become. Again the one cubic inch argument has little relevance at low frequencies as bass doesn’t...

You deserve to be made aware of your obvious biases and agenda to promote the only solution you know which you incidentally sell on your website. The problem is you promote a lot of misinformation which puts me in a predicament on whether or not allow you to spread misinformation on our forums...

Measurement of Audioholics Showcase Room (6 Position AVG) Attached is an averaged response for the primary listening area (6 seats) for the left front speaker with all 4 subs playing. This is before I did some more tweaking last night to flatten the bass response in the 20-40Hz range. I...

No the reality is you spend alot of time online promoting the only solution you know/offer - your Real Trap product. My measurements are 1/12th octave averaged over 6 listening positions. Then you haven't looked very far. Dr. Toole has authored plenty of papers on the topic as have we. I...

The key ingredient is selecting very linear loudspeakers! My room is passively treated (but not over treated) by Auralex. The response I am measuring is from one main speaker at a time for all 4 subs playing. Its an averaged response of all 6 listening positions. Audyssey EQ actually helps...

Parasound makes solid amps.

Oh geez! If you flatten bass response in the frequency domain, you reduce the ringing. If you never heard a correctly implemented multi sub system, you don't know what you're missing. I have almost no passive treatment in my room for bass yet I am achieving +-5dB response from 20Hz to...

Just so you know, those aren't continous ACD ratings. They use a class H type topology which modulates the rail voltage depending on input signal. Its more efficient than traditional linear a/b's and slightly more than Class G. The penalty is however a higher noise floor which can be an issue...

You should really read Dr. Toole's latest contribution to AES on acoustics in small rooms. In it he makes a strong argument for NOT treating first reflections with absorption if you use speakers with uniform on/off axis response and constant directivity. I can see how a compromise can be made...
