Re: Salad Bowl Speakers

Chris, explained to me how to understand from an impedance sweep, where you need the damping, from the perturbations in the curve. I found I had over stuffed and I took a lot out without any detriment, improving the cooling of the driver. There is a concept for commercial “ egg” speaker where the re...

Re: Nothing In Particular

You had the NVA room down your end to attract people. Until someone put a sign up there was no footfall until 11 am, then it went mental.

Re: Nothing In Particular

It’s good to see that Steve and I both got positive comments for our systems at the WAM show last weekend. Whether that was Chris under a pseudonym I don’t know. Just starting to contemplate setting the system back up this evening. :( Shame there weren’t many familiar faces off this forum wandering ...

Re: General health matters.

No I wasn’t going to impose that on you. I am still keeping faith in the NHS, but am contemplating going private if that will move things on, as my worry is if it’s left too long my brain will lose the ability to hear the higher frequencies (>6k)

Re: General health matters.

I have been waiting to see an ENT consultant with my post Covid ears now for 4 months, Phil moans after one week of discomfort :D. I have been blowing up balloons with my nose for months, without any success.

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

Thanks Chris, I definitely will be measuring in room next Saturday, to get it better equalised than last Saturday which was a rush, after chasing a problem down of my own making. I have lots of time, frequency sweeps into the early hours won’t annoy the other Wammers to much. :D Was trying to unders...

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

After a few of chats on Saturday with Chris, Andrew and others, it got me wondering…. The subs didn’t sound as controlled as I would like, and was wondering if the configuration I have them in is the challenge, as the amplifier damping factor will be down. Currently I am running the two sub drivers ...

Re: Owston ( now darios) what are you bringing

Thanks.. Chris

Just packing stuff up - realised I haven’t got any Speakon to spade cables, for the second speakers. Have you got any Speakon fly leads?

It’s going to be a struggle to fit it all in the car……

Re: Owston ( now darios) what are you bringing

Last night seemed to have channel dropping out on my amp…. Fixed it by turning the amp on and off…. Got a spare module, for some surgery if necessary. Typical…. So many protection circuits on the amps , hard to determine the cause. Will put a multimeter and some other tools in the car.
