Rear speakers with Beolab 5s
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2012 13:19You need "line-of-sight" from the lenses to your ears, that's all. Good luck! Best regards,
Rear speakers with Beolab 5s
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2012 08:35I'd suggest that you don't have to let height be a problem. You can buy or build stands on which to place BeoLab 9s in the rear at whatever height is appropriate. This is what I have done with my rear BeoLab 5s and it wo…
BeoLab 5 - design up to date?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2012 13:40Thanks for bringing the Meridian M6 to my attention. Meridian is a VERY good audio company, and I'm quite partial to what I've heard of their work, a well as their research and development efforts. That said, the M6 does…
BeoLab 5 - design up to date?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 26, 2012 10:16As one of the creators of the Acoustic Lens, I have been surprised that during the nine years since rollout in 2003 the BeoLab 5 has accrued no technological competitors, no imitators, no knockoffs. We (Sausalito Audio) …
Speaker question
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 7, 2012 09:20I haven't spent much time listening to BeoLab 4s, so you should take my opinion with a grain of salt. But, I think a pair of BeoLab 4000s will complement your BeoLab 3s quite nicely, and probably a good deal better than …
Designer David Lewis has passed away
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2011 10:05David Lewis was an absolute genius, visually. Some of the work I admired most never got built, unfortunately. He could ferret out the visual essence of something better than anyone else I've encountered. I feel absolutel…

in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 18, 2011 20:07I only report my age in Celsius - for the record I am a "Celsius Twentysomething." You kids . . . Best regards,
Beolab 5 are they really that good
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 24, 2011 11:39This post presents an interesting set of premises. To review the background of the BL5 a little bit, I suggest the following paper, which I presented to the Acoustcal Society of America in 2003, at the time of the introd…

in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 22, 2011 20:37What would you like to see in terms of a "moving ALT lens?" Just curious . . . Best regards, Dave
what is this ? - new B&O speakers !
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 11, 2011 09:09To clarify the explanations a little bit: These were a prototype design that we (B&O mostly, Sausalito Audio a little) did in 2000-2001 as part of the general development of Acoustic Lens Technology. They were visualized…
Comparative testing
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 9, 2011 15:37I'm pretty much full on with Peter here. The big problems in audio have to do with transducers, particularly the ones which convert air to electricity or vice-versa. Really big losses occur during such conversions. For t…
Acoustic lenses
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 4, 2011 08:53Good questions: The shape of the BL11 has little effect on its dispersion, because all of the wavelengths it produces are "large" relative to the device (ca. 3 - 18 meters). It is definitely NOT an acoustic lens! Regardi…
Acoustic lenses
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 3, 2011 09:34In response to jc's question: I've never auditioned the BL11, and have no opinion of it. However, it will not solve the problem I discussed. 2 drivers (as a general rule) do not have enough bandwidth to cover the 10 octa…
Acoustic lenses
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2011 12:24Happy New Year, everyone! May you prosper mightily this year!!! jc makes an interesting point, and he's not wrong. The BeoLab 3 is a 2-way speaker, and there is NO way that a 2-way speaker can cover the entire audio spec…

The Loudness Wars
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 21, 2010 10:11Alex asked: "Out of interest, as I really want to increase my level of knowledge about mastering, what do you actually use as a reference CD - a technical recording with test tones etc... or musical content. If the latte…

What rear speakers would you suggest?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 26, 2010 19:47Stick with the BL1s. Great speakers! Best, Dave
BeoLab 9 - where is the midrange, too much tweeter!
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 5, 2010 23:44I'd like to apologize for not having followed up on this thread. I caught the Mother of All Colds, got behind, acquired some new projects suddenly, and have also been traveling. Next week: Texas! I promise to get back to…
