    My new favorite post! I understood it as "I have a[n] honest maybe stupid question"

    Reverses the pull of gravity on the cone and suspension.

    You know, I believe that's the first I've seen the tweeter initial cap shown wired ahead of the mid cap. I've wondered about that since when it immediately follows the mid cap it would be an effective 1.7 uF instead of 2 and wondered whether that was on purpose or not...

    Since you'd need to remove the woofers (sounds like you have already?) to dust them, I'm a fan of the idea of reinstalling with a 180-degree rotation since everything sags to some extent over time... assuming they've been stored in a normal, upright orientation.

    Okay. By "no crossovers" I didn't know if you meant full-range or no "named" crossovers yet pseudo-derived.
  6. glens
    I'm a little more confused than that, for additional reasons, I suppose.
  7. glens
    To clarify: you drove each full-spectrum and flattened each's response within their operating range only? Or (also) effected crossovers by diminishing out-of-band response of each driver - in/for that plot?

    Are you saying you treated the inductors and voice coils with that "contact enhancer"? I ask because they have an enamel coating (insulation), yet it seems as though that's what you'd said you did (and reported a difference in sound?). I'm curious now about that product, and if perhaps you're related in any way to the family name Medwin.

    It appears as though that amplifier is available factory fresh (and with full warranty versus not?) for less than $100 more. At any rate, it's truer (more useful) rating was I believe 70 per channel when only two channels are used, and that figure meshes nicely with those speakers.

    140 Watts at 1 kHz at 10% THD? (https://usa.denon.com/us/product/hometheater/receivers/avrs540bt) Never seen a spec like that before...
  11. glens
    Did he say anything about cost? Must've missed that. I recall "small form factor" which is why my suggestion. The NAD C338 is not as, but still somewhat diminutive. I love mine. Never been a fan of Denon.
  12. glens
    NAD M10.

    Ideally they would provide a console interface through which you could blacklist devices. Failing that I see your options as being to ask your neighbor to quit doing that, and/or opening them up and disconnecting the antenna.

    In my book that would be the nominal coverage pattern (the result). A better question, or at least further, is where in the spectrum range does this pattern pertain, and over how much of the spectrum? Certainly it will be greater at the bottom and less at the top unless it's a very limited range.

    It's much simpler to work with only one frequency at a time, thus it's a way to be able to claim a higher power rating over what it would be with more complex signals. It could be valid to do it that way, if everyone did it. But since it isn't representative of normal usage, most manufacturers don't do so. A general feeling is that there must be something to hide when that method is used.

    If they're that good, then why get rid of them? That's the first thought I had.

    Roby Italy suggested he understood the 15C to have been somehow claimed to have "deeper" bass, and I'd assume it was apples-to-apples, so horn or no, I merely pointed out it was 3 dB down at 60 Hz. Now I understand 3 dB SPL doesn't itself represent twice or half volume, but it takes twice or half amplifier signal to get there.
  18. glens
    Deeper bass how? That graph show half the output at 60 Hz for the 15C compared to the K33.

    If your cable runs are many meters then balanced is surely the way to go. 1 or 2 meters with your gear, you might discern a difference. Worth an extra couple hundred dollars? For me, no.

    The voltage rating of fuses is merely the ability to contain (insulate) the voltage. Naturally, it pertains also to the fuse holders in that respect.
  21. glens
    Can you flesh that out a bit?

    I didn't necessarily have in mind streaming mp3s via bt when I said that. Merely that at that level of compression mp3s would sound pretty good. Perhaps the bt compression at that level would as well. I'd still use wifi over bt any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Speaking in terms of home audio...

    Amps is amps. 250V is fine.

    I'll certainly have a look at the articles, but as I've understood it thus far, Bluetooth codecs are (have been?) not lossless, though at 500-some k even mp3 would undoubtedly sound pretty good.
  25. glens
    Bluetooth will not, to my knowledge, provide adequate sound quality to anyone willing to spend so much on wire and power conditioners. Untethered will have to be over wifi.
