you should post photos of the condition of the cane...

this is... ONCE AGAIN... an issue of Economics and not one of scientific relevance. If anyone wants to spend 500$ on a machined billet aluminum bracket when a 10$ stamped steel bracket can do the same work, why should we not be allowed to use Billet aluminum? Common mass mentality is that you've wasted 490$ when if fact you merely made a decision based on economics. if you want beautiful stranded and woven cables, by all means use them. in as far as 'expectation' bias... I have a different view point. if I am choosing to use something that costs me inordinately more to use, my 'Bias' is not one of justification, but one of criticality... In other words, I am actually going to be MORE CRITICAL of that item, not less critical.

It STANDS TO REASON that if a poor wire/cable can make something sound worse, that a good/decent/reliable cable can make something sound better... both things MUST BE a truism in order for one of them to be the truth.

this make me giggle out loud... for someone that can supposedly hear 1" MDF resonance.

that would happen if you added a rounded flared that ends of that wall?

are you using a AK4 xo?

that's 48" from the corner, not from the horn exit.

is this a trick question?

for one speaker?

Thurman Murman's classic crime drama...

I've purchased all my speakers without hearing them first... probably because once you are sure about what you are looking for it's fairly easy to shop for that thing. Capitalcityguy, you are going to be extremely happy.

Someone with Starlink post up your speeds...

That's me... plain Jane.

thanks for the offer... but I think I will just walk to the game.

you're gonna need to remake that top hat also to maintain the volumetric space...

We don't usually deal in hyperbole here, but you're not going to believe your ears. The CWIV is a different class of speaker.

gain

do you prefer openness or directivity?

There is no replacement for displacement... all other things being equal, you can not mimic 'scale'...

it's the SAME signal... the only audible difference is gain or the COLORATION of the amplification section.

...

not after you put in all that damn work... as a matter of fact, was it even a house before you bought it? 😛

yeah... the old 'high level' recommendation. seems like most stick to that like the gospel. that newest 'setting up an array' video John put out is a little... embarrassing. But I understand they are trying to sell product.

if it's not auto biasing, I think it should at least be checked.
