Are you the guy I bought them from on the AVS forum? lol I think that's right around the time I got mine! Yea those little Studio HD's did pretty good. They are being powered by a single Peavey CS800X, so with 400W RMS on tap per-channel, it really lets them shine. There is quite nothing...

Jon, I didn't, but in a way that's good, because now I've had my Calibres 9 months, and my Studio HD's for about 11 months or so. You have to take my reviews/comparison's for what they're worth though, as I'm not a typical "audiophile". As I write this comparison, my head is flanked by my...

It's not the Fs that would be a problem, as most AMT tweeters do not have a well-defined resonance peak like traditional voice-coil/suspension based drivers. They are for the most part purely resistive, with perhaps just a teensy weeeeensy resonance spike. This is the impedance plot of the...

Correction on my last post: Turns out my Dayton OmniMic recording level was not set at "100" in the Windows settings. For whatever reason, each time I plug it in to my laptop, the record level drops to 89 or so in the Windows settings. Correctly setting the record level back to 100 displays...

Distance is about 11ft, using a lot of room gain as well from the nearby boundaries. The sine-sweeps themselves were only about 60-65 dB. My music doesn't go much below 31Hz (low B on bass guitar), as it is mostly midband energy (death/heavy metal), but non the less, the bass driver's...

Been busy with work all semester long, but still thoroughly enjoying my Calibres! Here's my latests in-room FR plot with Parametric EQ via a dbx Driverack PA2 DSP unit: 38Hz F3 my a%^ !!! Frequency response: 23 - 20,000+ Hz. Yes, they sound stupid good. :D CLICK HERE FOR FULL SIZE PIC

Are you sure it's 10% silver electrical solder and not the more typical 4%? It's very scarce from what I've found.

234xs: Bought it last year, works just fine but do not put it above an amp rack or anything else that generates heat. Anything over 90°F will have it making a whine. Manual says max operating temp is 95°F or so, and it's spot-on. Isolated or at the bottom of a rack will work just fine. Have...

Can't find this stuff just anywhere. I have approx. 145ft of 0.8mm diameter, 90% tin/10% silver solder for sale. I'm not gonna sell all of the spool (which is more than 145ft), since I'll be using some of it. $3.99 for 1 foot, shipped to the USA. $3.49 for each additional foot. Paypal, check, or...

To possibly answer you question about how you're getting so much output compared to a mathematical model, is that the mathematical model is not taking into account your specific room in your house where you have your speakers in. Room gain, standing waves, etc, can greatly change the response...

Can you elaborate on the "from what I can tell" part? How do you personally "tell"? Not trying to be an arse, I'm actually wondering because I'm looking to build some crossovers later, and I guess you can say I have faith in the Dayton Audio stuff. Been buying from PE since '97 or so, and...

Absolutely. That's why I listen to all my metal (and everything else of course) on my Legacy Audio Calibres! Slayer, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Emperor, Cthonic, Death, Sepultura, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Testament, Exodus, and so forth, and so forth. Top notch speakers make all...

Yup, they are elevator music, when you compare them to Napalm Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Emperor, and some of my other stuff. :) I never said anything about mine being "better than yours". I was talking about that clear JBL 2.1 set that you posted being able to survive a musical onslaught...

I doubt it. I don't listen to elevator music. ;)

Yup, it is overkill, but "overkill" is highly "underrated". :) My office setup is Legacy Audio Studio HD's powered by a Peavey CS800X, and an Infinity 8" powered subwoofer. Source is laptop playing WAV files, feeding a Resonessence Labs Concero HD DAC, feeding a dbx driverack PA+ DSP, feeding...

Very true, it may not be for all. I, for one, find that for my music, I prefer flat from about 110Hz+ and a 2-4 dB boost as a low-shelf with a medium slope.

For speakers, I'm sure those Adam Audio speakers will sound great with the AMT tweeters. I run Legacy Audio Studio HD's in my office right now, and they sound killer. In fact, I know of two sets of these for about $1000 if you're interested. They're not powered though, but they are 93...

Did I mention I hate room effects? They ruin everything! lol Before tuning....look at those nasty dips from cancellations, peaks from room resonances....ugh.... After in-room tuning: Nice and respectably flat from 30Hz-20kHz. This is just a temporary setup as these will go in my...

Boooooooo! I thought when you said "mine" you meant you also had a pair of Legacy Calibre's! o_O Just messin witcha, they do look nice! Don't bother mentioning sauvig-anything to me. I drink beer. :D

Where are yours and why aren't there any pics!?!?!? Yes I was listening to them all night last night. Love 'em!
