Well, it's a multi-track studio recording to start with, and according to some people on the interwebs (take that for what it's worth) it's either a Korg, or a Rhodes that's using a phase shifting...
:-D That's it. Thanks Rob, bookmarked.
:-D Sorry Max, assumed you were in France.
I feel like there's an old saying that you can't have a small box and high efficiency and flat to 20hz. Pick any two? If flat to 20hz and a small box are most important, maybe the Dayton Ultimax 18"?...
Wouldn't want to deter you from what you're proposing but if they are lacking clarity in your living room you may want to look at other parts of your system being a possible source of the issue. The...
You're very welcome. I think several of us here got started on the JBL path because of our fathers. Was your father a studio engineer? I was introduced to UREI by a friend who worked at a studio in...
UreiCollector, I love the fact you're still in so deep almost 20 years after starting this thread. It's aspirational for folks coming up in the hobby as well as old timers. Good on ya! :-)
That right there. Words of wisdom.
Beautifully done. I'd love to hear that room.
That was pretty early on in getting the whole thing up and running. I had bought 2 drivers with aftermarket kits (right channel) and one driver with a JBL 2245 (left) along with two JBL recones. Some...
Nice collection! Thanks for sharing.
What is that wall covering/paneling in your room? It appears to have perforations in areas? Very attractive surface, is it an acoustic treatment?
Todd, I'm not sure if you've also been following the UREI Discussion thread and the Differences Between Compression Drivers thread but there's overlap in both of those that brought us back to this...
Excellent example of everything in speaker design being a compromise. 1400 are really good sounding speakers. Appreciate the knowledge Rob.
I've never seen a speaker with passive networks have...
:-D Hey, thanks Rob. You are the keeper of the technical files. I'm surprised both are so clean at high frequency as you mentioned, but that first one (2344?) looks pretty rough in the 1khz-2khz...
Well, it's not likely to be good by today's standards but I'd be curious to see how different the UREI is from the Altec 604-8g, which I think is the model UREI used when they started. I know eso has...
That's how we'd describe it and separate it from simply 'the image' that pretty much any pair of speakers will create between them. Achieving that level of transparency and realism is difficult and...
I think it's really an ahead of its time design with the low diffraction cabinet and asymmetrical shape. I never had a place with enough space to set up a pair. They really should be set up with a...
Well, now that depends on what the definition of 'image' is. Based on what I spelled out that we use, no. The best imaging speakers are point source and/or controlled directivity. Dipoles will create...
That's super clean and way nicer than the 3" MG diaphragm they showed in that video. Is that the mid driver in the 1400?
Rob, I've not heard that trope when it comes to imaging as I just described how we use the term amongst our group of friends, but rather their poor soundstaging abilities based on how we use that...
I was thinking about starting a new thread as a way to move a divergent discussion from this thread...
Holy cow, glad I saw this. I was just about to change mine as I'm setting up a new phone and wanted to start off fresh with a password manager. I would have felt really stupid after flaunting being...
Okay, we are using slightly different definitions of imaging. With these older speakers I refer to the image as what's captured between the 2 stereo loudspeakers. Your description of the disappearing...
Agreed, 100% :-)
It's probably me but you are losing me here. I wouldn't have put the UREIs in the good controlled directivity category like say the 708 monitors. Can't imagine the polar of a...
Kind of apples and oranges but I don't disagree with that statement in reference to home listening/speakers. The point source nature of the UREI coax with time alignment, even as rudimentary as it...
