Speculation on my part, but if you put them dead center, you've shifted the frequency x2 from where it once was, and have 4 surfaces where that can happen. If you offset them slightly, you no longer have an exact harmonic of the fundamental resonance frequency, and you've reduced the area for resonance as well. Am I close?

If you're not sure you can get a green sharpie and color just the edges.

Yeah, what an honor.

[emoji15] Elvis has left the building. Thank you and good night.

Yes. Or start with a motor-generator and go from there, then you could positively eliminate noise from the utility. @Edgar Seems like you're just up the road from me, I'm in the valley. You should stop by sometime.

If hearing is impared, I'm not sure how else you'd be able to tell. To quote Mitch Hedberg, "I was walking down the street with my friend and he said 'I hear music,' as though there's any other way to take it in. 'You're not special. That's how I receive it too... I tried to taste it, but it did not work'."

Congratulations

Which model number do you use?

Jeffrey, So you bypass your fuse with a switch. How do you know which switch to use? Do they sound different to you? If a switch-bypassed fuse sounds better than a fuse, do you use a power cord and electrical outlet combo? Wouldn’t a direct-wired setup sound better? Have you tried different circuit breakers? I am genuinely curious as to the depth of your perception ability. Keep in mind, once again, I don’t think I could hear any of this.

Agreed.

Toothpick works too. Edit: nevermind. Jason said that already.

No Facebook here either.

What does a subwoofer box for klipschorns look like?

Why can’t they be reconfigured such that they are in series?

Wow those look great.

This is awesome, congratulations.

I think I'm going to go listen to music tonight. On my Klipschorns with Type A crossovers, recapped with zip tie hold-downs and budget whatever-the-length-it-is 16ga wire laying on the floor that I got from Amazon, coupled to my simple amplifier driven by a dirty jittery FLAC player, all in my extremely small room with run of the mill power.... and you know what? It will be glorious to me, and you know what else? You might disagree. Guess what? That's your right. And finally, I don't really care, because I define what sounds good to me at this stage in my life and my hearing and my musical tastes and my sound coloration tastes and nobody else does. I'm not about to tell anyone that they don't know what good is. I can't hear what they hear.

Frilly pants.

WTH did I just watch? Such personality. Reminds me of NPR Sports:

Yes, I saw that. I see every post on every thread, believe it or not. Just to state it again, I'm not here to embarrass you or anyone. My ears aren't what they used to be, and I'm in my early 50's. I know I can't hear certain things anymore. I believe there isn't any magic or witchcraft or quantum effects in any of this. I believe that any differences in an AB test should be measurable with standard instruments. I'm intrigued by your claims of hearing things that make others lose their minds - just from the claims! Mark Waldrep has said (and I believe him) that if you AB a tune with a louder version of itself, most people will chose the louder one as better. This doesn't say which one is actually better. Better is itself a subjective term. So let's not get into "blowing you away" comparisons. Let's stick with, say, wire. I contend that neither you nor anyone else should be able to consistently and definitively hear the difference between these wires: 57 1/8" wire vs. some other length, say 60". Standard wal-mart 16ga zip cord "speaker wire" vs. a coat hanger. If you can, I should be able to measure that "something" in amplitude or phase or impedance or capacitance or some combination. My guess is that I could "null test" the wal-mart wire vs. the coat hanger without a person in the loop and the difference would be zero. We cannot have a day or even hours between tests. The test switching must be near instantaneous. Let's figure out what that looks like.

At the moment there is a family member's medical condition that prevents me from traveling more than about 30 minutes from home. I would love to take you up on that, though, and thank you for the offer. I also think that you and I doing an A-B-X test is not sufficient. We need at least another individual, perhaps more than that. If I'm there, I don't want to know which is A or B or X. I want a neutral party to do that and log results. We need enough tests so that you are certain of your answers. It shouldn't be too hard if things are plain to hear, as you say. My opinion does not matter; I've already stated that I know some people can hear things I cannot. What I'm interested in things you think sound superior, and I'm interested in enough blind testing such that statistically it will differentiate facts from random chance. The hours or overnight stipulation is not too realistic, so let's think about an ABX test that can be switched at will without delays or downtime. Surely if things are day-and-night, we can devise some tests that fit the bill. Thanks again for the invite.

I would also like to see this, not in jest. I'm genuinely curious. I *know* that some people can hear things I cannot. I deal in measurable electronic things on a daily basis. I would love to find something that shouldn't cause an audible difference that someone can definitively hear, then try to figure out by measurements what the difference is. The right way is A/B/X double blind testing. I think this should definitely be set up somewhere, someday.

Um, well, nevermind. [emoji3]

Just slide it in sideways. I wouldn’t attempt to reconfigure anything. How often are you looking back there anyway? Nothing to adjust. Furthermore, I don’t understand how it won’t fit the normal way anyway. Maybe you could post some photos.
