€11400 list price/pair, that's what I find in their german brochure.
Inpedendent measurements are hard to find, and Silbersand never publishes anything themselves, looks like a CI thing for them (a pity as they do make really good speakers). Another german maker of similar speakers, Schanks Audio, also uses MFB and Doppler cancellation (this time in the digital domain), their developpers frequent some german forums and share some details occasionally. Like some others they also use current drive on their AMT tweeters, a nice application for current drive with excellent results.

where they also implemented doppler distortion compensation
I'll remain highly skeptical.
^ Skeptical about what? The audible effect of doppler distortion or their effort to compensate for it?

I have known people who can play all the right notes in the right order at the right time, as specified in the score, yet somehow no music emerges from the instrument...
I used to tell my kids that's phase 1: it takes years to go through all the mechanical and repetitive parts, doing scales and things, kind of like calculus for the rest of us.
Then you can start to put your guts into it. And it's all right if you have to unlearn, or go beyond some of the stuff you did in phase 1. And of course, because it's no longer carved in stone... err score, some will love it, and some will hate it... OOPS, sorry, now we're in the snake oil turf 🙂

Looks like a lot of zeros for a diy forum. What is that in USD?
I think many here would just buy a bifilar cone and play first.

Both really, like jn just like to see some data.
I don't understand you there Scott.Except in this case the pink noise was the signal.
I was relating a loudspeaker listening test where PN was the signal, and the reproduced sound changed according to BQP placement against the speaker cable.

The claims are removing noise in preference to the signal, if there is noise in the signal how does it know the difference? I don't quite know why I try to reason through this nonsense anymore.
Isn't it ultrasonic hash that modulates the noise floor or summut? Just trying to keep up with the latest trends....😱
Again, this is mostly nonsense. It was best to throw away the Record-Reproduce electronics of either the Studer or the Ampex and start from scratch. That is what I did 3 times. The Studer transport was significantly better than the earlier Ampex transports, and I just stuck with Studer to make upgrades.
John,
I presume this is the Studer (Mark Levinson) ML-5 modified Studer A80. I
believe Bruce B normally uses a Doshi Preamp which is a hybrid SS / valve
tape preamp.
I don't think it's entirely reasonable to expect this level of electronics in a
(semi) mass produced tape machine of that era.

Tribute act Dead On Live performs meticulously transcribed, note-for-note recreations of legendary shows by the Grateful Dead, but will take that obsession to the next level when it teams with Asbury Audio to recreate the Dead’s legendary Wall of Sound audio system next week.

No Terry, I designed tape recorder electronics for both Mobile Fidelity (79-80), and Dave Wilson (1983). The Wilson analog 30 ips/1/2 tr machine is considered one of the best in the world, even today.

So it's a proximity tone control?

For John Curl:
Here's an early experiment on a simple test subject. It's a plain ordinary 100 Watt incandescent lightbulb, made by GE and sold for US applications (115VAC 60 Hz). Test performed in my workshop, with plain ordinary residential AC service, in the SF Bay area. There is quite a "long tail" on the current-vs-time waveform, probably because the bulb takes several seconds to come to thermal equilibrium. But for studying the initial turn-on current, a/k/a/ inrush, this sort of view seems helpful.
If you look really really closely and squint your eyes really hard, you can see the triac "pull in" and "drop out" points. But since a triac is not a relay, they use different terminology that I am too lethargic to look up at the moment.

In this case the change heard is not in the signal but change in noise mechanisms in the system (amplifier/cable/speaker as a system) it seems.The claims are removing noise in preference to the signal, if there is noise in the signal how does it know the difference? I don't quite know why I try to reason through this nonsense anymore.
My link to the synchronising metronomes video is in reference to observations regarding my filtering, and that is that the effect of my filters is not perfectly immediate.
When applying my filtering there is smaller initial step change followed by longer term slope change through to full effect........actually quite like the metronome example of phase locking.
The PN/BQP/speaker cable experiment showed similar time dependency.
Dan.

You have not described anything that could be called an experiment.

Looked for it on line for 10 minutes. Nothing.
