![]() AES New York 2023 show reports are here from yours truly, John Seetoo, and Harris Fogel. We talk with Charlie Calv and Bruce Pucciarello of Deko Entertainment about the future of the music business. In this issue: Well-known audio luminary Michael Fremer has produced his first album, Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello, and I interview him about the debut from the legendary bassist and up-and-coming jazz piano sensation. Seven songs aren’t on Qobuz, so I added replacements at the end of the playlist. I misplaced his e-mail – if you're reading this, please contact me and I’ll give a shout out in the next issue. Things will continue to evolve over the next few months.Ī Copper reader asked if I could create a Qobuz playlist for the “200 of Your Editor's All-Time Favorite Songs” article in Issue 200. Tomorrow I'll share the others.Īll of us at Copper wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and new year, and peace on Earth in these difficult times.īeginning with this issue you’ll see some changes to Copper, including more coverage of industry news, and new music releases. Note the pains taken to get the rear of the speaker damped properly, important in this type of speaker. Here's some shots of how he built these speakers into the walls. He slightly toed in the left and right to aim better at the center position, the center speaker itself of course pointing straight ahead. To install these loudspeakers, my designer, Robert, built specially constructed in wall cavities. Further, whatever I chose had to be an in-wall design as I have extremely limited space and did not want to chew up any room size. As a ribbon, their speed is hard to beat and my thought was I want clarity, non-fatiguing sound and the ability for the device to disappear above all else. I have used these in an experimental loudspeaker I worked on and loved the way they sounded: quick, full, lifelike, non-directional. The BG Radia SA-320 was what I wound up with. The surround processor is a poor place to add a speaker roll off.įor the front three loudspeakers, left, center and right, I chose a ribbon based loudspeaker. And do not choose loudspeakers that cannot be fed a full range signal. Better, IMHO, to choose that which works best for the given purpose, adjust around those choices.

The center channel, for example, has a job to do that is very much different than that of the surround speaker. I choose, instead, to design the system such that the very best devices are used for the intended purpose. Further, I never set the surround processor to anything other than full range for every speaker in the system. Many people believe it is critical to have exactly the same loudspeaker type, or at least from the same manufacturer, in every location a speaker is installed within the home theater. I chose this arrangement with great purpose. My home theater, which we have been discussing as of late, has a pretty eclectic mix of loudspeakers to make it sound and work the way I want. ![]()
