That's right. To put it another way, what is that hopefully small and repeatable packet of data, and how is it related to the perception of a significant level of authentic musical realism? Since this is a speaker discussion within a speaker forum, I can speak from personal experience when I...

It's important to ask simply: Why are we doing this? Why are we doing audio? An honest assessment there says that there's a profound difference between doers and theorists. In my opinion, if the goal is realistic playback—that is, convincing the listener that a facsimile of the original...

I'm late to the party, but I saw all of this transpire a few months back. With between 200 and 300 designs completed over 40 years, I might be able to explain a few points. Sonnie's response here is about as measured as any, no pun intended. We do not hear a device in the same way that a...

A friend just picked up a pair of vintage Hartley 24" woofers in open back OEM 'boffles'. He's dialing them in on a modern AVR as LFE drivers. They won't make 20Hz but they will be in the running for bass quality. They're an example of a relatively light duty speaker that capitalizes on sheer...

Combine an inquisitive customer with inexpensive data and there will be a natural tendency to assume that a measured abstract speaks for real sound. Unfortunately it's not that easy. Data speaks for sound like a power curve speaks for driving or a list of ingredients speaks for flavor. They're...

It'll be an honor, especially since they've taken about a century so far. :praying:

Probably more like July...

Thanks for the notice, guys. The walnut finish is so nice that we just had to launch with it. The L series is aimed toward lifestyle-conscious users - mixed use spaces like living and family rooms. For those who also see it as a theater room speaker, we can also provide the standard Chane A...

Hi Guys, The answer is probably simpler than we think at first. The A4.4 is a 5.25"-based two-way speaker, meaning it's in the same acoustical size class as any other 5.25" speaker and has the same approximate, average bandwidth and sensitivity and thermal limits. We use good parts so you...

Hi Folks, a quick note on what should have been the Chane entry(s). First, it almost goes without saying that Sonnie and crew are always on the top of my list for model evaluations. With history as a guide, AV NIRVANA is one of the few conversation boards where audio is actively practiced and...
