Hi RJ mate, yeah everything is cool, (but too busy with work as always). I guess I have to buy another sofa for my living room 😄 I have the speakers at 4ft now, which was a HUGE difference with 3ft. So I can imagine only 5ft will give another improvement..... so yep now that sofa has to go...

Wow I this is a very actual topic for me as I recently bought a new Gigawatt 16A Circuit breaker which opened up everything with a more clear and stable sound, wider stage etc, compared to the cheap house circuit breaker.... I too saw the 20A inlet I wanted to use and thought would be better as...

Again, so very true what you write here, as usual...! Hi RJ, how are you doing mate? One thing that popped up in my mind after reading this was the many system upgrades a friend of mine did over the years. It was always an improvement but a real big one was when he had his room measured and...

Ah cool, I didnt know it lowered the FS with 10hz. But I believe with IB it also plays a lot lower than its original FS. Yeah thats what I noticed too when I heard open baffle subs at a show. It is extreme clean... also fast and no boxy at all... For me I dont want a box speaker again. Although...

Nice! These were on my plans list for a while, and now with the purchase of CLS higher on the to do list. But I was also thinking about a true IB (infinite baffle) sub. And then use 15" or 18" subs... or maybe those in the Ripole. Have you tried IB too? How low would you think the...

Yes indeed brand speakers are always measured in an anechoic chamber.

And indeed, the room could give a gain at around 30hz from many db's like I have in one room... (all concrete walls and floor). There when a speaker plays low to below 30hz at -3db it becomes really irritating with certain songs. In that room a speaker that plays down to 50 or 60 hz at -3db...

I think its because of this. The linearity of speakers are usually measured and given in -3db. Within the -3b line the CLX's wideband goes from 56hz and up to the highest frequency within -3db. The -4 db is never given as a measurement, although a speaker could go really low in that (-1db)...

Oh nice! I whish I could hear something like that here. But its not so common here in our country as like in the Usa. But I will keep it in mind and look out for ut. Thanks.

Ah now I understand, thanks! That isnt a cheap amp... must sound very nice!

That is strange indeed.... The specs are always measured in a anechoic chamber... and to have it always or usually play 20 hz lower in a typical room is strange...

Nice to hear, I like good tube gear.... But the Conrad Johnson Classic One SE is a Pre amp isnt it?.. Which Power amps do you use then? Also CJ?

Yeah I know what you mean... I've got some wishes too but you can spend so much that you want or have... to spend, 30 yrs ago if I would have had a million, then I would spend 80% on audio... it was that important (but I didnt have much to spend) today its max 20%.... or less... And now I...

Well Greg, that is something to be proud of, really! For a first project you nailed it! (y) I habe been building diy speakers for over 3 decades now and wish I had gotten into dsp earlier. I have done all the crossovers (parallel and series) passive, with calculations and tweaking by ear...
