Travis In Austin

I know one too, my Uncle Ken, an EE from A & M. Before he retired he ran (at the time) the largest open-pit coal mine in the US for Texas Utilities at Martin Lake (outside Carthage in east Texas) which included keeping a dragline and electric railroad operational. He teaches pottery at the Art Center in Rockport.

How big of a room we working with here? Photos?

If you want a Sub you need to get an 1802 or 1502.

You are in LUCK! That question was just answered today as a matter of fact. https://youtu.be/W0sHToKXxWY

Thank you, that was the one. I gave up after an hour of searching.

And there is no better person than @JRH to review your work, give guidance and help spot any errors. His forte is the company and products when Paul owned the company, but he continued to be the company Historian until he retired a year ago. Please be prepared, a lot of valuable digital information was lost when they made a change of some sort and so some things are lost forever. However, he has personal knowledge of many, many products either because he was directly involved in the development and engineering, or he was in charge of the people who were. I suggested a post in Museum section,, Ask The Historian, because that is really the only area he visits on here.

If you all start a thread in the Museum Section with your Starr on a spreadsheet I am sure The Historian @JRH would offer some guidance here and there as his limited time allows. Great project by the way. Travis

Mix in what sense? Give me an example? Edit: I meant a hypothetical.

@Chief bonehead even stumbled over "stuff Another quotable quote: Thank God for good recording engineers. But he left out mixing and mastering engineers.

@Chief bonehead Thank God for good recording engineers. Lots of MoFi vinyl. What is Kerry's screen name? @dBspl All that is missing is his reel to reel.

It depends on the quality of tree.

Forte III or Ki-396 depending if you want furniture grad to make everyone happy, or black commercial look. You will have them for the rest of your life, and then whichever child, or grandchild you secretly like more than the other will get them in probate. When they start to go off to college you will need to chain them to the wall. Many, many stories on here about how member's grabbed their dad's speakers off to college, apartment, whatever because "he wasn't really using them that much." They were never returned.

Very much still in print. One of the greatest books ever written, on many, many different levels. Acoustics is not my forte, that is why I am on here, to try and learn. If sound absorption is an analog to light absorption from a science or engineering perspective, then the analog would be sound absorbers like Bass Traps. A photo of Prisig with his son. From Zen, now this is something to for an audio person to contemplate: "Quality . . . you know what it is, yet you don't know what it is. But that's self-contradictory. But some things are better than others, that is, they have more quality. But when you try to say what the quality is, apart from the things that have it, it all goes poof! There's nothing to talk about. But if you can't say what Quality is, how do you know what it is, or how do you know that it even exists? If no one knows what it is, then for all practical purposes it doesn't exist at all. But for all practical purposes it really does exist."

Run it without the sub, and repost the results and someone could tell you how close it is.

There is one notable difference. The 6116-A (and the 6016-A) was designed and sold as a complete "compact" system for behind the screen theater use. There wasn't any "bass solution." That was the "solution", it was the complete package. Compared to what was available before it was a major achievement, in 1929. By today's standards it, for most people who have actually hear it, is a great big NO. Can you take that horn and add a bass solution and tweeters. Sure you can. Can you match it all? I suppose given enough time and money one could. A Grandeur system would probably sound much better, as would Funktion One. The K-402 was designed as part of a system, either 2, 3 or 4 way and was never intended to operate on its own.

It is an achromatic color. It absorbs all colors of the light spectrum and reflects none. This lack of reflection is perceived by the brain as the achromatic color "black." You remember the high school science experiment you had to do right? Take a piece of white construction paper and one black. Tape a thermometer to both pieces in a similar location and in a similar fashion. Put both pieces of paper next to each other and shine a white light on both pieces of paper and record the temprature of each thermomoter after 1 minute, five minutes, 10 and 30. Which one is absorbing the most radiant light energy (quanta) and converting into heat energy? He is going to have to contemplate something else now. I would highly recommend the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

That was a short sighted decision. What did you change to?

Too late, you are out of the boat. J/K

I don't think anyone has done that to this point. Someone did a chart on all of the speakers and where they fit in terms of perceived "quality." I'm not sure if that had date information in it or not. I have not been able to locate it. Travis

But we determined in that case you wired the additional piece in backwards. Did you ever fix that problem?

Let's see if I can do this.
