« Très » s’il vous plaît 😉

That's great.

Yep! My 2 favorites.

Yep, several examples of diy enthusiasts, ascending up into the best of the industry. Ilkka, Josh Ricci, LTD02 (John), Janowitz, Seaton, etc. After the OG Bass List group ... stacked with luminaries, there was the forums. Out of the forums ... came Ilkka Rissanen, one of the initial forum gurus to branch out. He went from forum guru subwoofer standardization testing, ... to Genelec's Senior Acoustics Engineer, Director of R&D. Josh and John designed some of the greatest most creative power dense subwoofers to date. John, parlayed his into GSG. Janowitz at AE, designs machines and builds some of the finest low distortion woofers in the world. Exciting times w/CAD, CNC, etc, one can bring one's life work to the masses.

today's. speaker industries become misleading industry. saw a 1978 consumers electronic catalog on the internet that tell it all.

And don't forget the WHINE😅

@@jasontimothywells9895 both of you get a 👍and a 😂

@@krowwithakay in celebration of such garbage I am going to sauté frog legs tonight for dinner . But no cheese .

Oui,, monsieur.

Did you upgrade them? With what kit?

@@Cabernetor no. I was just saying that the 806 had basically all the same downfalls. 😊👍🏼

All the time. I have measurements on a lot of them, and I show some of them in a video that I did a few weeks back.

The one measurement Danny didn't show was the On-Axis vs 20 degrees off-axis, which is nearly flat until the dip starting at 8KHz. so that dip at 3-4KHz and the peak at 5-7Khz is largely diffraction issues. So, their best response will be to have them facing directly into the room, with maybe a touch of toe-in.

Horizontal off axis is shown in the vid and there is peaking and bunching at 4khz. That is the cause of the brightness, toeing them out do not solve that problem, treating your room does.

Give that one to my editor. He comes up with all of the titles and thumb nails.

A lot of that had to do with the cabinet's front baffle and it's a fairly common problem in many speaker designs. The only way around it would be to modify the baffle to be narrower around the tweeter or mount it into a waveguide, but considering the way the driver is mounted in this model, that's not really something that's fixable for the vast majority of people.

The trouble is that the cheesy parts tend not to last. These speakers are built to break.

The only thing which would "break" in that crossover is the electrolytic capacitor. Those resistors and inductors are bulletproof despite being low quality... @@dan_hitchman007

Actually we are often asked to convert powered speakers into passive ones. The budget level power DSP controlled speakers are so bottlenecked that they are impossible to use in high end applications. Doing it right can get very expensive and in the end the results are little to no different than what you can get out of a well designed passive speaker with good electronics. Plus, with a passive model it is easy to swap out DAC's, pre-amps, and amps more easily.

It can just damp it.

The bass will roll off a little sooner, but it will be much cleaner. Those lower ranges are what subwoofers are for.

@@dannyrichie9743 Yes I understand the bass will roll off sooner. However two questions remain; 1) What does the bass profile look like before & after? 2) Are there any alternatives to blocking the port? I know you generally don't get into cabinet modifications in these videos, other than to recommend some No-Res, or in this case block a port, but it would be an interesting exercise to see if the root cause of the problem could be found & dealt with. As I mentioned to you the other day in a conversation (BTW I received the port tube, thanks) I was able to tame midrange ringing in my Klipsch Cornwall IIIs by adding damping material to the stamped steel basket of the 15" woofer. Sometimes I can't help being a smart aleck, Try this for an analogy; If you step on a nail, you will have an annoying pain in your foot which won't go away. One solution might be amputation, and replacement with a prosthetic foot. You will still be able to get around OK, but you may have a hard time running a sprint. Alternatively, you could pull the nail out, get a tetanus shot and rest up for week or two.

@@paulstearns93 The bass roll off ported versus sealed are easily modeled. The tuning frequency of the ported boxed can also be seen in the impedance curve. Stuffing more insulation in the back of the box near the back side of the port will help and keep some of the port output.

No, it's a peak cause by edge diffraction, rather than the tweeter itself. Danny forgot to show/mention the on-axis vs 20 degree off-axis measurements I took. You need to point the speaker straight into the room and you will get a nearly flat response until 9KHz, where the tweeter naturally dips. I just added the measurement to the product page.

It won't play as low, but it will be much cleaner.

When a woofer is designed for port box you just can't put put a foam in the hole.. And make it what? A sealed box? No way is going to be..And even if you convert it to sealed the whole total sound would be a disaster.. Even an amateur will never propose to fill the port. And they ask money for that..

@@alexandercyborg5308 Actually a lot of drivers have a Qts that lends them to work well in a ported or sealed box. Going from an ideal ported box to an ideal sealed box will technically require less air space. However, with a lot of smaller speakers the lower ranges can and are often filtered by their receivers. So having the woofer in a larger than optimal sealed box is no issue.

@@alexandercyborg5308 maybe he covert some of the front port not all. its still foam at the end of the day it wont be 100% seal I would think. maybe he can explain that a bit more

No Rez controls cabinet resonances (noise). It does not change the measured frequency response.

​@@dannyrichie9743Wouldn't powering the Clio up with GR Research B24 power cord increase its resolution to capture those minute differences ?

@@dannyrichie9743Wouldn’t it affect the spectral decay?

@@Starch1b2c3d4a No, the spectral decay only shows stored energy of the drivers.

@@Starch1b2c3d4a Check out any speaker reviewed done by Stereophile. John Atkinson attaches an accelerometer to the side panels and measures panel resonances.

I was contacted by a company last week. I had upgraded some of their speakers. They asked if I would be interested in a collaboration of a new product line.

"Chorus" is what was actually written on the back of the speaker... the "Chora" line replaced the old "chorus" line. Clever.

They had their issues: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt6YoLxjvbXNf2w.htmlsi=fGvgFFsn9FXKEZDD

I think I have some measurements on those already.

Not at all.

@@dannyrichie9743 Must be a decent tweeter if you are crossing it at about 1.4khz

@@davidristic3800 It is rolled off pretty steeply, so not a problem.

I participated in a Senior Games competition there to get that shirt.

The Chorus 605s ARE always on sale? What year are you living in? Chorus has been discontinued years ago.

@markwinston3119 that's great ahole! Go check safe and siund

In this case thought, the measurements are highlighting audible issues.
