    *Consider this a teaser! Mark Levinson tracked my number down as soon as he learnt that I was at the show and we chatted for over an hour. I will be reviewing a system from him for sure and perhaps an interview/factory tour in the future with the Legend himself to give you guys more insight on this new piece of tech*

    There's a video of Mark explaining cwave. Honestly, he sounds nuts when describing it. It's upsampling with DSP correction, but the tests he ran about relaxing was only on 4 people. Trust your ears, not some marketing bs.

    With such a long/tall tweeter, they'll have a very narrow vertical dispersion. Did you experience that?

    • @hammer-and-thumb
      @hammer-and-thumb Před měsícem

      This is preferable when your ceiling and floor may be reflective. Many horns have very narrow vertical dispersion in exchange for wide horizontal dispersion for exactly this reason, to keep sound off the ceiling and floor. The ear doesn't do a great job of discriminating between direct and reflected sound from above and below you, so that tends to get mixed with the direct sound from the speaker and that causes frequency response ripple which is not desirable.

    So basically it’s an active 2way system with DSP. Finally!
    It’s almost upsetting how many home audio enthusiasts look down at people who try to pursue perfection in caraudio by running fully active systems with DSPs.
    Many of home audio fans will walk away from running passive speakers very very soon!

    This is DSP all the way. Every hint suggests that even the analog input is processed. Nobody is saying. Is anyone asking? |t seems everything is upsampled to DSD and then processed. I'm a little irked that after months and months nobody but them seems to have gotten their hands on one. Are they making only 10 a week? I'm talking the 350 Maria amp. These gentlemen said in essence that an approximate $14K unit is the equal of the very finest sounding amps combined with the finest DAC's, in one unit. No need to win the Powerball? Anyone can have world class?
    Well beyond price. Back to pure signal processing, in a black box. It's going to upset the HiFi world up.

    • @Jayiyagi

      Modern day DSP is likely the future, just need to convince the audiophiles of that. Many won’t want to accept it because it will devalue their $500,000 system they spent years putting together. Not to mention the effect on the new sales of that gear. Perfectly understandable but it’s nice to know high end audio can become available to those of us with normal incomes.

    • @oraz.
      @oraz. Před měsícem

      It could be analog signal processing. Active all pass and RC. TI has design notes for an active xover that has time alignment, baffle step, eq etc and it's analog so that's a good example.

      You can record 35hz but few speakers can reproduce it. It’s a good demo in life, but hard to reproduce. Despite manufacturers’ claims, if you play a 35hz tone, you won’t hear anything on many speakers. Some speakers that cost over $100k roll off at 50hz, and have no audible bass below 45hz.
