Re: Katan Stands

Katan stands with hefty PMC Twenty.22 speakers on the top are pretty stable. I think the Katans just aren't heavy enough to make the spikes work.
Perhaps 2/3 filling the columns with steel shot will get them stable for you.

Broken LK Products

Broken LK products required. Power amps, knekt, numerik etc (ie those with plain front panels, no displays nor switches). Prefer excellent or mint visual condition, but anything considered.

For sale is a black Linn LK140 power amplifier in good physical condition. It is fully functioning, but has been repaired.

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

But this is the only thing , besides correct placement in the room for the speakers using tunemethod, that one has to be concerned about regarding room acoustics when you are building a DIY loudspeaker . Just use your ears during setup. This is possibly worth exploring further. Essentially you seem...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

My experience is the same as yours regarding making heavy loudspeaker cabinets - they sound less tuneful than lighter and stiffer cabinets. That's 2 different parameter changes there - lighter and stiffer. A high mass cabinet can be stiff, and is highly likely to be so. Using the same materials, th...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

On the subject of lower mass cabinets, I've heard quite a few open baffle designs (with conventional drivers, not referring here to electrostatics) - essentially as low mass as practically possible. I haven't found any of them to be musical - although most were DIY designs, but that's not an automat...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

Imagine also having a bespoke design built only to work in your room, given the room is part of the acoustic system. Very expensive, I imagine! That’s an interesting idea! It also raises the question, how would the design process differ from any other loudspeaker designed to play tunes harmoniously...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

I have no knowledge of it. Speakers used to get built in homes in either wooden or brick enclosures in the 50s and 60s, but I doubt there was much science involved, never mind tunedem :)

I don't think it would. It just makes an unknown variable into a known parameter that can be designed around.

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

When you tunedem a system, the room is a key part of the system being tunedemmed. When you find the least worst position you've only achieved it for that particular complete system (which includes the room). I agree that setting up a pair of loudspeakers correctly in a room only apply to that speci...

Intertwined. A good word to use. Add the cabinets too, as discussed further up, they all have to work harmoniously and the cabinet is mechanically intertwined with the driver and alters its electrical behaviour.

"A good crossover with a bad driver but with a good source will always sound good." Not necessarily, it can still sound bad, that's why its described as a bad driver.
