Ssl needs to bring back the Sigma!

I bought the hardware for tracking acustic guitar and instantly its improved my ability to dialin exactly what I'm after and its a joy to use.

LOL - After 1 minute. I realized this guy sure has the credentials :)

Found your videos today and I'm surprised that your videos have so few views, the content is great. I think the conversation around speakers/gear setup according to your needs is an interesting one, generally because it focuses on practicality. You can be an audiophile in it for the love of sound even if you have a really tight budget, or you can be an artist like Andrew Huang who needs crazy amounts of dsp to compensate for hearing degeneration. We're all just doing what works for us, really. Personally I don't care for playing stuff loud, so I usually keep my music around talking level which I think is roughly 60-70db. Dune 2 was fun to watch in theatres, but I definitely enjoyed it more after I put my earplugs in. I think it's really just whatever floats your boat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have 2 and are set up as mid base drivers. Have their matching passive radiators as well... i dont need a dedicated subwoofer with these set up as mid bass 😅 btw they are intended to be used as midbass drivers, but a ton of people are just running them as subwoofers.

Love your channel, great videos and fantastic builds

Home Depot or Lee Valley sell a hinge drill that has a tapered outside bevel that automatically aligns with the center of the drivers mounting holes. It has an integral spring loaded pilot bit ... It results in perfectly centered holes for the speaker mounting screws... It's designed for drilling kitchen cabinet hinges or door hinges but works perfectly for speakers and amplifiers...

PSI AVAA’s will make a huge difference on those 38 hz modes and take up no space at all. They do the most under 50 hz

Interesting speakers. Loved your build video for the Seas King RO4Y mk3. One day maybe.

Pultec also made solid state units as time went on, They got away from tubes and went solid state. Both the solid state and tube units were used for decades and still are.

Vote Blue.

No way you installed COAX with an open back in the same disclosure with sub. it's going to pump those COAXes and make them sound bad. since it's not closed back speaker - it should be placed in the sapareted "chamber"

Thumbs up to your video for a first time buyer for monitor speakers.

Great content!

Love your content on audio, especially speaker construction and design, learned much on sample rates and dithering from you too. I always watch your videos when they pop up. Crossing my fingers on the contest.

Thanks for the information, love your videos!

what is your recommendation for speaker cable brand with tight banana plug?

Thanks so much.Was thinking how to actually do it, and find this is an awesome idea.

To my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong) the beauty of active speakers is to have an active crossover feeding into two amplifiers. So first upside is, an active crossover doesn't cause phase shifts, and therefore is a lot better for the time domain aspects of sound reproduction, secondly you can have two "specialized" amps, that only need to excel at certain areas of "amplification". Wouldn't it be "the best of two worlds" to bi-amp passive monitors, get rid of the passive crossover and put an active one before the two (external) amps. Would even give you the freedom to chose the best amp for each driver 🤔 *just my two cents*

The hardware is better because of one... (...Okay two!) case : The transformers cutting out the DC-noise az 5Hz and you able use before ad converter on pretty much everything!

I may have missed you pointing it out and you obviously included it in the design but, you could spell out that the Hypex plate amps (and other brands too) are not sealed with regard to air leakage; especially the FA503! Even with a vented enclosure, and certainly a sealed one, you have to fabricate some kind of enclosure or partition for the plate amp to maintain the air seal of the woofer enclosure. It’d be nice if the plate amp was sealed but, you have to accommodate that omission.

Yikes.. auralex??

Excellent video; thank you so much.

I lost body, significant amounts in the lower register and had a slightly more active air bands. The lintec tends to make the mid range and high end more perceived harmonics more pronounced by pulling out the sub frenquencies. Not sk sure it actually saturates that much more, vs just bending the curve to alter the tone by bringing different bands more forward. I am less inclined to choose this option solely based on that loss in the slope in at the lower register. I'd prefer having the option to engage or disable that low end cut by having it in circuit or pull those out in post if required. Knowing I loose that bandwith by default simpling by putting audio into it is a huge no no for me. Sounds good, clearer and more focused for sure than the plugins. They have a grainier, foggier, less clean mid range, almost suffucated by comparison to the Lintec. So in that regard, I see this being a viable solution regardless loosing low end if certain sources I intend to have less of that information in it. I want all the meat in the low end for bass and kicks, low synths, so that makes this a no go for me because that is where I'd want the hardware to give me an extra push, not a negative tradeoff. Still sounds magnificent.

Alright so how does it compare to the other clones? I have my eyes on the IGS Rubberband stereo (500 unit) and the Tegeler eqp1 at the time .. The fact it's solid state and that the pex had good reviews back in the day makes me really interested in getting 2 for stereo but i don't want to put money on something barely better than a pluggin

👍👍

Can’t we all just get along!🤣 Great video and perspective.

Congratulations on your new speakers :) Sad that these components aren't available here in Brazil

Let’s hear them then!

I got mine without knowing what to expect, took a while playing with it until i figured out the sweet spots of boosting and cutting . The high end has more of an Api type of sound, as opposed to a tube based clone that will sound more fussy, the lintec sounds more focused in a way. Your review was really nice, i subscribed to your channel and hope to watch more of these vids , keep it up !

Lots of great tips! Going to start boosting my kick at 5K to catch that attack 😎

Yes.

Can they be placed horizontaly?

i really don't like the paint, why don't you spaypaint it?

but i like the sub i must say

that's no diy, that's copying someone else's work

Awesome

Totally agree. There is a lot to share between audiophiles and engineers. I like to add, I don't like to divide. 80 - 85 db for listening.

I ve allways lissend to studio monitors growing up thanks to my childhood friend who is a producer. It was the easyer way for me since i don t like amplifiers and studio monitors are amplified. But today after work i m finaly getting some “hi fi” speakaers (Klipsch the sevens) that are also amplified. Really curious to hear what i have been missing out on all theese years. Alot of people told me that studio monitors are not for listening music! I don t dissagree but it was the easyer way for me. My last pair were M-Audio Bx8 D3.

It's new, shiny, looks cool and gets most hardware enjoyers wet, hope someone will do a shoutout against the Warm Audio, Heritage audio and Klark Technik one, see what you can get on that price range!

Your videos that you did on the king r04y speakers were the dumbest (aka the best) videos on those speakers. The other videos you’ve done on studio monitors is still awesome as hell.

Can you make a video explaining everything about bass radiators? I've never understood how a ported speaker with a radiator on the port is classified as sealed. Thanks. I hope I win.🎸

10hz needs to be a standard, I enjoy infrasonic, it doenst need to be loud, i built a small bluetooth that play down to 15 and its fantastic.

First time seeing your channel, do you know anything about surround sound. I want to learn more about reproduction of true surround audio. I love everything audio including musical instrument.

Thank you for your channel I myself was a professional DJ nightclub DJ and also did professional or pro sound reinforcement and I am an audio file as a result of my vintage equipment and gear but after listening to your video, it really showed me how important it is to hear it from your vantage point and be able to put the profiles together as a sound engineer and an audio file. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you so much. I really appreciate ityour channel I’ve only been on aware of your channel for maybe a month or two I think and I have a pretty amazing set up if I can send you a pic

I love what you’re doing !

don’t the back of those monitors reflect a lot or do you mix in front of them ?

Great video very informative. Just what I needed. Thanks.

SSL needs to be creating marketing content that shows their products can work like this!!

$3200 kit??? Have you lost your mind. For $3200 you can get some really nice speaker that are already assembled.
