    • Hi, Just some more information in case somebody reads that: the 1981 Hz sound seems to appear only when room temperature is low (under 15 degrees Celsius). When room temperature increases above 16 or 17, everything works like a charm. Just in case someone has an idea about what is happening !   Best
    • I use a Crown amp for my subwoofers.  I think they’re better for applications like that.
    • Kindly asking for advice,   Single-ended circuit, the sound warm and sweet, full and mellow, much softer and more listenable. Pluggable tube socket design, 6N4 can be replaced by 12AX7, 7025, 5751, ECC83 etc.  and  6P3P can be replaced by 6L6, 5881, EL34A, EL34B, 6CA7 etc., adding much fun and higher playability Sorry, KT66 and KT88 are not supported Notice: the filament power supply voltage is 12.6V, 6N4 cannot be replaced by the vacuum tubes whose filament power supply voltage is 6.3V such as 6AY11   KT66 is equivalent of 6v6? anyway, is there a way, that i could swap transfo, so it would accept all tube?
    • I've asked before, is this the route that true audio nuts are taking?   "Is everyone else spending $1200 in seven days"?     "I don't know if they are serious, if they are serious, they are, that's what they're doing, that's what I am doing."
    • a lot of folks seem to LOVE crown...
    • I ave a bottom mid and top msm if anyone is interested price negotiable all 3  work my name is Buddy Bloom my number is (443) 521-0985 
    • I bought some beater Heresys and turned them into super Heresys with ports, upgraded woofers and Dave As lmahl tweeters and they sounded almost identical to my modded Forte 1s.
    • I'd contemplated something similar, but three-way, selecting drivers that better met a lower FS and increased VAS. I would have used an even bigger, 2" mid horn and increased the cabinet volume to meet or beat that of the CW, while maintaining the approximate footprint  of the CW with the goal of solid extension to at least 32Hz. That got thrown out the window once I heard a pair of 70's vintage LaScala and decided to implement a few ideas derived from the Chorus thought experiment and ended up with a unit with in-room response that was +/- 3db from 20Hz to 20kHz. If I didn't live in an inner city apartment, I'd probably pursue the Chorus style alignment, too, but my available space in my 1300sf flat is quite tight already. 
    • Both the prices of the Heresy IV and the OJAS speakers are higher than I'm willing to pay, but I'll stop short of calling the price points of either, "gouging." in the case of the OJAS, it's more appropriate to consider them as functional artwork. They're largely hand made, in limited quantities, produced in part by an established artist and priced accordingly. Whereas the Klipsch RP line is comparable to a Volkswagen Jetta, not cheap, but also not priced out of reach of many consumers, Heresy IV is akin to an Audi A3, with styling and performance that puts them in the aspirational luxury category, expensive enough, but reachable with smart budgeting for many. The Ojas, on the other hand, skips a few rungs on the performance ladder, eschewing the modern conveniences of the contemporary Porsche lineup, more like an air-cooled Singer Porsche: it's performance isn't nearly up to par with a current model Porsche and in many ways, isn't even as good as a Jetta, however it's hand built, with unmistakably unique styling and quirky performance that has its own appeal. Its price reflects its limited availability, exclusive styling and hand-made construction, while performance is almost secondary.
