Do not give these people your money and don’t let them near anything that you own.

Indeed,
what Rutger posted above is obviously written by this guy...

Prefer A, but the difference on Kari is bigger than on the other two.

Brass for me as well

Merry Christmas to all!

Hermann,
I don't know if it helps but I enabled "Band Steering" on my router so it searches automatically on both 2.4 and 5GHz for the best channel.

Thanks Pete!

Played with the big rig I prefer 2.

Playing with MBP/Firefox/HP I prefer B

Isn't slam an aspect of transients just discussed more in regard to bass, but not exclusively? Yes, certainly not excusively. What slam is in the midbass is something like attack at higher frequencies. Both are surely no artefacts made by the speaker but present at a live concert. Some speaker driv...

Yes, it is worth to check out his 19 posts here about "slam" :-)

Spannko wrote: ↑2023-11-30 00:03 That’s possibly quite interesting Matthias! Would you like to elaborate?

There are two camps here. The members of both camps are standing on the foundation of the tune method.
But for the members of one camp this is not enough, they do not want to be without "slam" for example.

It is very interesting to search for keyword "slam" on this forum and even more when you combine this with search for author.

Prefer B too

Yes, they are.

I think we have to wish for a loudspeaker with musicality which may possess an ability to slam.
Slam is very important for me, it is a basic ingredient of unamplified live music, a fun factor.

Spannko wrote: ↑2023-11-21 20:20 This week I’m building an enclosure of approximately 600 x 250 x 250 which weighs about the same as the original Kans.

Maybe there is also an inverse relation between dimensions and musicality?

Haha, the same:
The HF are blocked by the coil and go straight to the tweeter, the LF are blocked by the tweeter, go through the coil and are blocked by the cap.

Yes, Klangedang but there are some others: https://www.evolutionacoustics.com/support/faq/ https://www.thehereticspeaker.com/ad612 Even from a source first POV I don't like active speakers since you need for every driver a power amp.

A good series crossover gives you greater musicality than a slightly lower resistance of a directly coupled amp.

Rutger wrote: ↑2023-11-20 13:04

These are theoretical considerations. You get coils with very low resistance. An active crossover is always a parallel crossover so you never get the musical aspects of a series crossover.

Rutger wrote: ↑2023-11-20 13:01

Sorry, also this is not correct.

Rutger wrote: ↑2023-11-20 11:38

Not true for a first order series crossover without resistors.

Spannko wrote: ↑2023-11-20 12:10

I would consider this as the best of all crossovers. Here is no hierarchy between crossover parts and drive units.

lejonklou wrote: ↑2023-11-17 12:14 It’s the same as with the SR CAL 36/4 torque tool, matthias: The manufacturer’s datasheet shows terrible data, but in practice and within the same tool, the accuracy is remarkably good.

I had only a look at some Weller stations up to 500 EUR, maybe you have much better ones :-)
