    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. Also, she is highly motivated to do even more planning at this location which also happens to have a pretty...

    Sony Launches New High-End ES Speaker Lineup

    I'm going to be really disappointed if all of you Loudspeaker Guru's don't show up at our next GTG event in November at the Safety Harbor Spa and Resort. It will be a 2 day event with more demo rooms and educational seminars. We plan on making it very speaker heavy focused. Mark this down in...

    Sony Launches New High-End ES Speaker Lineup

    Scan Speak makes some of the best drivers in the world. A few hundred $$$ on drivers per speaker is nothing to snuff at. You would be surprised how inexpensive the drivers that some of the big brands use in their products. That being said, the new Sony speaker lines do look impressive...

    Krell Connect Media Streaming Player Preview

    While I agree with you for the most part, but, there are exceptions. This new Boulder mono block amp is rated at 1500 watts continuous into an 8 ohm load, weighs 400lbs, has 120 output devices and a sliding Class A bias is a work of art. Of course to power a pair of speakers, it will set you...
