[quote user="Puncher"]Actually he isn't speaking of "timing" in the sense of the original review, but of time domain response rather than frequency domain or spectral response, which is a perfectly valid comment. A time domain plot to a step or impulse response is a valid test that will display the units damping amonst other

[quote user="Jon"]Don't waste your breath. "Electrified" seems to know a fair bit - which, humorously enough, no one is arguing, despite the fact that his replies are always mega-defensive, even when there's nothing to defend. But on the occasion he is wrong, God himself could come down and let him know about it, and this

[quote user="Alex"]Steady on, not quite sure what I said to wind you up. "utter bollocks" is 1) mildly offensive and 2) a bit extreme IMHO.[/quote] Too bad. It's still utter bollocks.

[quote user="Puncher"]I'm not sure that I could deduce that the reviewer is ignorant, rather that it is at very best a single person's very subjective view - with no data to back up his conclusions, nor any information on the "test" conditions or setup for comparison.[/quote] I still conclude he's ignorant based on the

[quote user="Alex"]Agreed that it's a load of nonsense when it comes to cables, CD players and other electronics, but I completely disagree with you when it comes to speakers! I've heard it, I know it in side-by-side comparisons, it is definitely there.[/quote] Yes, and despite remembering what you hear is ridiculously difficult and

[quote user="Alex"]Hang on now, in all fairness to What's HiFi? those are all fairly standard terms which have a lot of grounding in things which can be measured and assessed.[/quote] No they're not. [quote user="Alex"]Timing refers to the transient response of a speaker, plus it's decay slope at various frequencies/waterfall

From that review: [quote] Timing is acceptable, integration throughout the frequency range is smooth, and there’s good dynamic headroom on tap, too.[/quote] What a load of nonsensical audiophilic non-terms. "Timing" - oh, really? "Integration through the frequency range" - Come again? "dynamic headroom" what other

I don't think it is two subwoofers per se even though they're the same size. The one to the left has a curved front, whereas the one to the right doesn't. Or is just two different reiterations?
