[threx666]

@ sir Shrek

  ano po ba design ng AN box nyo? very impressed on the impact and quality of the bass as I heard it from your YT vids. is it really one pair of AN you are using?

  grabe!!!!

[comet]

bro threx666 anong avr ang gagamitin mo for movies?

[threx666]

my pobreng setup is still HTIB circa 2010 pa to.

  kaso medyo nagiipon ako for a more decent and hopefully permanent setup.

 medyo dito ako sa AN nacurious talaga e

Sir, panay easy listening lang ang naka upload sa you tube kasi yun ang preference ng nag upload, although I have tried to listen to Death metal and heavy rock on my speakers and its still clear. Audio Nirvana is an all rounder speaker, the sound of this speaker can only be dictated by the amplification, so kung naka SET tube ka at makikinig ka ng Death metal eh medyo mabitin ka sa pace and rhythm because of the limitations of the amplifier and not because of the speaker. if you want to have a system na mabilis tumunog eh you should pair AN speakers with solid state amps or Class D amplifiers.

Hi sir newbie sa AN i'm interested too hear din what amp ba bagay for rock/fast/metal? matagal na kc ako ng hahanap speaker for rock at 2 or 2.1 channel set up lang and how can I avail AN? tia

[remington]

2.0 set up with the properly made speaker enclosure is ok for rock but 2.1 will be much better para mas mabigat ang sq. Abang ka ng group buy sir will organize it again mag post ako dito pag ready na. You can audition to AN owners para may idea na kayo on what to expect. Also dont expect too much from AN out of the box kailangan i burn in slowly bago lumabas ganda ng tunog nya yung iba kasi naiinip hehehe.

[-mhan-]

yes tama, kailangan mo na magtiis ng 250hours break in ang AN.

yung sakin muntik ko na ibenta dahil ang akala ko pangit ang AN, aawayin ko na sana si remington at Fredreadrick..hahahaha

[remington]

Buti nalang bro mhan naniwala ka samin ni fred hehehe

Sir, its a design made by Anthony of A Audio, quarter wave enclosure, though I tuned it by ear pa after, putting enough stuffing materials to get the sound that I want.

isang pair lang po talaga yung AN ko sir, fully burned in na kasi sya kaya ganun yung tunog, tsaka may konting acoustic treatment yung kwarto kaya clear mostly ang presentation, modified din po kasi yung smsl amp ko with huge linear regulated power supply plus capacitors that I like ang nakalagay sa amp. its enough for me, although I am always itching to ypgrade my source and dac.

Sir, kung Fast Music ang hilig mo eh you can try Class D plus konting modification, or Solid state amplifier, although kaya din ng push pull na tube amplifier, pero mas maganda na mag Audition ka muna sa may mga AN speakers to hear kung okay ba sayo. kapag nag group buy eh inform mo lang si Remington! the master of all AN group buy! hahahaaa!! dahan dahan tin lang kay Remington, ang galing nyan Mangkulam!!! hahahahaa!! mana kay Monreq!

[remington]

Hindi naman master bro executioner lang hehe. Wala ako lahing mangkukulam ha mambabarang lang bwahahahaha. Tama audition muna kung magugustuhan ng pandinig nyo.

[fredreadrick]

para sa mainipin:
experience ko, maganda na out of the box ang SQ AN Classic + Series [formerly called Horn, Focus]

[comet]

group buy na

[fredreadrick]

yes tama, kailangan mo na magtiis ng 250hours break in ang AN.

yung sakin muntik ko na ibenta dahil ang akala ko pangit ang AN, aawayin ko na sana si remington at Fredreadrick..hahahaha

kaya pala panay hirit mo sa Horn 8 ko dati....
sabi ko naman sa yo konting tiyaga lang sa burn-in & proper box.... maararating din ang audio nirvana
namiss ko tuloy ang gapang ng down facing port mo.

[remington]

ganda nga ng bass nung gawa mo kay mhan bro fred napakinggan namin parang may sub. Good job!!!

talaga naman, dumayo pa pala kayo... buti naman aprub sa panlasa mo bro.
yan ang recommendation ko pag 2.8 BR box ang kelangan.

[fredreadrick]

sobrang tahimik dito!

share lang... sa wakas natapos din ang OB ko....though wala pang finishing.
first impression - matatagalan bago uli ako gumawa ng pamalit dito

[remington]

nice bro fred! kamusta SQ?

[fredreadrick]

bro, after 2 hrs of listening... in reference to bro monreq's OB & my previous one, mas masaya ako dito. the closest SQ to reality though meron pa akong experiment na gagawin. ang unang inaabangan ko eh yung soundstage kasi mas maliit ang baffles nito compare to monreq's pero di ko mapansin ang pagkakaiba, invite ko sya minsan to listen para malaman ang verdict nya. pangalawa yung bass output baka humina kasi mas maliit nga ang baffles & inangat ko yung driver sa floor, 10cm higher than my previous OB pero sa mas malakas & malalim ngayon... kaya nga sa second track pa lang namasa ang gilid ng mata ko

puro solid wood ang ginamit ko dito, 38mm ung middle panel, ung sides 55mm thick.

Namasa talaga ang mata mo bro? Saan sa kakahintay o sa tindi ng delivery ng emotions of the artists sa recording?  I know bro you'll get the proper SQ.  Tomorrow bro...pakinggan natin.

Btw, 12"alnico yan. Talaga mas malupit SQ nyan sa OB ko.  Mas nailabas lang ang bagsik ksi technically modified ang OB mo. Pinag aralan talaga at di puro kopya lang.  As I see in the picture, the bass will not suffer on your new OB design.  The front panel board is standing directly on the floor.  The side panel stands are just support and will not degrade the bass freq.  Good job bro!  Yang ganyan design at SQ pangarap ng may mga 10-15" AN.  Iyong talaga true SQ like the recording.  No alterations, just pure and direct.

[innocent]

@fred: bro sa finish ok na yung stain.....  ksi nka solid wood ka naman.

[parasound]

@ Fred well done Size matters, Bigger are better.

@remington, thanks bro - pasyal na lang pag may time.

@innocent, yes bro dahil sa matagal na paghihintay & sa result ng pagtitiyaga. pag- aralan ko din muna ang magandang finishing

@parasound, yes sir the bigger the better, kaso kay wifey ayaw nya ng malaki - sabi sa akin "parang gusto ko daw solohin yung "family room"

@-mhan, thanks. nainggit lang ako sa mga speakers nyo kaya ginawa ko na din...hehehe

Sound - Audio Nirvana Classic 4+ Fullrange Speaker Driver

Over the past several years I've been able to experience a number of 3.5 to 5" fullrange drivers made by Fostex and TangBand. I've used these small fullrange drivers for covering from about 100-400 Hz and up on an open baffle 2-way speaker system which uses an active crossover system. The Audio Nirvana Classic 4+ speakers share a number of similar characteristics with the sized Fostex drivers, such as the paper cones, large magnets and smooth warm sound particularly with vocals and acoustic instruments. However, the Classic 4+ drivers are also definitely quite different than the Fostex types, both physically and sonically. The unique "camel hump" cones of the Audio Nirvana Classic 4+ drivers are a rather interesting design. Relative to the similar sized Fostex drivers which can often sound somewhat forward and a touch bright, I would characterize Classic 4+ response as as more balanced and with better focus. This may be due to the camel hump cone design which is intended to redirect sound that would normally be directed at the floor and ceiling, towards the listening position. The more balanced response is conducive to long and even loud listening sessions without the onset of listener fatigue. For my Hi-Fi setup these sonic traits allowed for many improvements. The focused high end response of the Classic 4+ drivers blended in very well with my listening room, which while carpeted has a reflective ceiling and walls, and I would generally characterize the room as bright. Normally I toe in the open baffle speaker position with bright drivers so that they cross before the listening position, between about 20 to 30 degrees off-axis. With the Classic 4+ drivers I find that no speaker toe in is required and the benefit for listening to the drivers on-axis is a well focused and wider sound stage. The Classic 4+ drivers are well suited for use as part of a multi-way speaker system and could also work well as satellite/rear speakers as part of a home theatre system. Overall this is a very well built speaker that delivers good sound quality with great focus through the camel hump shaped cone.
