200 Watt Speaker


Read times. Pages: [ 1 ] Go Down. IanATC Jr. Member Posts: » Systems. I have decided to post this because so few speakers now are sealed. The majority of the market is ported in some way.

I think sealed offers accuracy, detail and speed advantages over ported. But this is not about sealed vs ported, as I have heard good examples of both. Does anyone have information about 80's and 90's AR speakers? Thanks and cheers. Quote from: IanATC. Thanks for the reply! I have an additional "suspicion" if you want to call it that. Not to mention treble extension doesn't seem all that good.

I only got to hear a small set of AR bookshelf speakers. Two way, with a 8" sealed woofer. It was mid 80's vintage. I think the principals are excellent. And now that solid state has come a long way, we have plenty of power to do them justice. I'd like to hear those AR's again, but with a stout wpc pushing them. I'd like too see what they sound like when really backed by topnotch gear. Do the AR and 's count?

These were 2-way bookshelves I bought at Circuit City many years ago. The had a 6. I would not say they were warm, though. Kind of sterile and possibly harsh. However, they held together exceptionally well at extreme volumes. I had them connected to an Onkyo integrated amp These were replaced by DCM Timeframe's They can be used on a variety of applications. However, warm and pretty they are not. They image OK, the 's had hollow sounding bass and the 's were much richer in midbass but, didn't have the punch of the 's for midrange.

I've gotten rid of both pairs but, don't know if this is the same Acoustic Research that people talk about. Quote from: Carlman. Quote from: DVV. As for the "BBC sound", and this may surprise you, although there weren't many UK designed and built speakers I really liked, I do feel there is a lot to say for the BBC sound as a concept - and unfortunately, not all, not even enough was said about it. The Kef Fact: many ofn the best American speakers from the 70's and 80's used KEF drivers.

In general, I feel UK speakers up to say were slow and somewhat detached for my taste, although they were by and large detailed and there was much work in progress to achieve high levels of precision. There were exceptions to this, of course - for example, I would have picked up a Spendor anytime but they were reflex! The US scene was very much different in general , they preferred efficiency and liveleness, and wanted seamless integration from top to bottom at the expense of absolute clarity and precision.

Just think back to speakers like JBL's L, a home derivative of their legendary monitor. I cannot look back on those with the same reverence. The L had a paper cone tweeter. It was beamy at certain frequencies, and boomy at others. It was by far and away more coloured than the KEF from that same timeframe. They were not seamless, nor lively.

The sound like midfi to me. As for your comment regarding horns and Klipsch, well, your view is just one of many possible. I could now say that these were indeed up-and-go speakers, sometimes in-yer-face, but that they were more efficient and faster than somewhat slow UK speakers. More coloured and shouty like a public address system? Midfi, not hi-fi. The big horns had a demonstrated time delay. Even using some of the softest and most romantic valve gear, klipsch still screams bloody murder.

If you were to replace what you had with a Klipsch, and live with it for say a month or two, what do you think your reaction might have been when changing back to UK speakers? You might have them thought them slow and "lazy", despite greater precision. Just my view. I can only look back to a handful of pre 90's speakers with any joy. Spica, rogers, kef. They all had a more romantic sound than by todays standards.

Compared to my ATC, most speakers will sound syrupy and slow, but that is a preference in itself that many people have. How many times have you read the phrase: "I could listen to it for hours on end without fatigue" That should NEVER be stated of klipsch. Sa-dono Full Member Posts: » Systems.

Way back while most of you guys were in shorts, I used to own AR5 speakers, and I loved 'em. I agree sealed enclosures tend to offer better bass control and resolution than most but not all vented speakers. If you are wondering why this almost total changeover to reflex, the answers are simple.

Reflex offers better overall efficiency, it provides for somewhat lower cutoff -3dB frequency that sealed, and last but not least, they were in vogue at one point. However, sealed will offer more extension than relex as its deterioration is slower than that of the reflex and it will offer less to much less phase shift in the bass, which usually accounts for its greater clarity.

What's to say? AR invented the principle in and pushed it really far. At one point, people e. Marantz, Ortofon-later-turned-Dynaudio, etc were offering sponge bungs you could insert in your bass reflex vent and turn the speaker to some sort of sealed. Of course, this never really worked well, because the requirements for a sealed woofer are different to those of a reflex one, but it sure was a good marketing gig.

I for one am sorry to see this worthy principle pushed aside, I feel there's a lot of mileage in it yet. I cannot dispute much of what you say simply because it's all very subjective.

I also don't like horms too much, not the common types but very expensive JBL and Klipsch jobs are a totally different matter. That least efficient are the most detailed is or was a very popular thesis in Britain. I always suspected this was launched by manufacturers of inefficient speakers who couldn't do efficient and needed some rationale to whitewahs their own failings. I don't think there's any direct link between efficiency and absolute clarity, although it stands to reason that the more efficient speakers will perform better with typica mid powered gear, while less efficient speakers will only do so-so.

The ARs I still have are used by my son. But push it a little harder, and of course, the more powerful of the two gets ahead. Still love 'em. They can be used on a vari Of course they do, Carl, why shouldn't they? Regarding your comment on them, I can't say I am surprised. My 94s were far from cheap in those days, they were the smallest of their two digit series, which was their flagship series of the day, headed by the big 9.

I agree on holding together - same here, same ever since I first heard an AR. This seems to be a family trait they all shared in their time.

HTC Vive Pro 2 Review – “Pro” Price with Not Quite Pro Performance


The model in front of us is already the fourth representative of the Yoga Slim 7 14 series that has to face a Notebookcheck test. Since we have already tested several Yoga models, we will not go further into the case, the equipment, the input devices and the speakers in this review. Contrast 2, and brightness The display shows flickering with a frequency of Hz at brightness levels of 10 percent and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. If PWM was detected, an average of minimum: 5 - maximum: Hz was measured. The screen shows a very decent color reproduction in its state of delivery. The colors deviate slightly from the target, but this is not noticeable.

HiFi — is our life. I have wondered if the mediocre performance of the Sx mostly in the midrange, most noticeable with vocals is responsible for the relatively low regard and selling price the AR94 gets in the marketplace.

HiFi Speakers. Cosmetically they were both only slightly marked, but one was missing its mid-range driver, and on the other mid-range the surround paper suspension was in a final state of crumbling decay. The seller, Diederick, also an AR lover, bought them from the original owner, the late old Mister Frowein, a well-known jeweler of Stellenbosch. Diederick could not recall exactly when he took ownership of the set, but we know that the 48's were manufactured from to , so if we assume that the set hit South African shores at round about that time or just thereafter, Diederick probably bought them in the late Eighties or early Nineties. Be it as it may, after removing one of the mid-ranges to have it repaired, it unfortunately went missing in the process, so the set ended up in storage in his garage.

Very rare as in the original box All foam donuts recently replaced so sound great.

It accompanies a watt intensifier and this enhancer is equipped for conveying 23 watts to each of the satellite speakers while the subwoofer conveys watts. I am told that I need watts to make them sound proper. This product is sold by: Pair. Live sound enthusiasts here at Sweetwater love the portability and usability of the. Great sound for a great price!!!
