    Hi Andrew, I am not sure what I am required to place in my sig or what is mandatory, should I just leave it blank?

    £1000 for a subwoofer !

    An abr isnt a driver, and its never meant to be, so its not really about trying to fool people into thinking a sub uses two drivers when it doesnt by adding in a second cheaper (rel drivrs arent exactly the worlds most expensive anyway) unpowered driver. Its function is the same as a port. Both...

    KEF KHT-3005SE vs MKSound M5/M4

    Ive always been big on music, and the reason I never invested in the older models was because for music, they just didnt cut it for me. This is the main area I feel the new 150's have been improved vastly. All new drive units and the results really do stand out. They are much smoother and much...

    KEF KHT-3005SE vs MKSound M5/M4

    I am in the process of setting up a new venture with the owner of Gecko, but Geckos main business and distribution and dealership business is nothing to do with me and I have no involvement with. Having visited Gecko HQ I just had the chance to listen to the latest MKS offerings, including the...

    KEF KHT-3005SE vs MKSound M5/M4

    Its also worth notting that since M&K became MK Sound, the entire product line has improved, and not just by a little bit. The new speakers and subwoofers are head and shoulders above the models they had when Ken was there. The guys runnin the show now have improved everything by a remarkable...

    B&W 5.1 M1 - why bother with the sub for music?

    The lower range limit is stated as 55hz. Thats a -6db figure though, a -3 would have been better, but that would mean the low frequency figure would look higher (more truthfully so) which isnt how marketting works. Try setting the subs crossover at about 55 hz to begin with and up it a touch if...

    Paradigm SUB 15, Ken Kreisel 5000 Mark3 subwoofer advice advice needed..

    Lol, thats not what I'm about. I like to think I'm impartial and honest. A few years ago I was an ultra owner, and it showed me a whole new world of performance. I loved the sub and the prices back then where amazing, I couldnt afford anything better. Still, as impressive as it was I wasnt...

    There is no banter, those are the facts in plain black and white. A subwoofer is more than its cone size, and a large driver doesnt guarantee a good subwoofer, just a a small driver doesnt either. Its is important to be aware though that a driver does make all the difference, and its the single...

    That section is fairly typical of what you might read on any marketing page, in so much as it tells us everything without actually telling us anything. As such I cant really comment on it specifically as I'm not privy to the design specifics, and I can only speculate. My speculation though...

    That would be of use and particular interest to me. I posted in his thread asking about the concept he's created, and intend to ask him about that comment there, hopefully he can find the time to respond. Its entirely possible for a DXD to match a single 18 in performance, but again it would...

    Im not ramming it, certain people just dont like to hear the facts. I'm not going to retract a statement that is correct just because someone doesnt like it. As is always the case when people react to my posts in a personal manner, the conversation is now nothing to do with the topic, so I'm...

    That response is silly. I am not anything, everything I know I learnt from the people with the real know how, and I just try to pass it on. I claim to be nothing and anything I do know is actually readily available information.

    Then perhaps your should tell this to the people in the industry and educate them, because up until now every single one of them uses that information to design their systems. Certain things cannot be ingnored because of the laws of physics. To get spl you need to displace air, displace more air...

    Drop what, I never asked you to engage with me, and I wont retract my post just because you dont like it. Feel free to ask Ken to post, I welcome it, though I think he probably wont. He used to reply to all my mails without exception, till I brought up larger drivers, then he simply stopped...
