Soft Close Auction:В If a bid is placed within the last 2 minutes of an auction lot's scheduled closing time, an automatic extension of 2 minutes will be added to the auction lot's scheduled closing time. If payment is defaulted on, the credit card hold will be applied towards the 15% relisting fee. $50 Bid Hold:В A $50.00 hold will be placed on your card when you place your first bid for this auction.

(You might not think that problems in the bass can affect the treble, but shifts in spectral balance can often have surprising consequences.)- Thomas J.All photos and descriptions have been provided by the Seller. A serious cabinet resonance in the midbass, for example, might muddy the sound and make a speaker sound duller than it measures. The only explanation I can offer is that there could be a problem in the time domain-perhaps delayed resonances in the response that are affecting the listening results but that don't show up in our small-signal frequency-response curves. It isn't as flat as the Infinity Interlude IL60, which he mentions favorably, but it isn't far enough off to explain the discrepancy. The result here is something of a puzzle, as the T500 system's measured results do not indicate a system that should sound as MF describes. The в‘5В° vertical off-axis performance of the MC500 is also very good ( Fig.4).

Moreover, the off-axis performance of this 3-way center-channel, while falling off quite a bit at extreme off-axis angles, is free of the midrange suckout that often afflicts 2-way, horizontal center-channel designs.

The response is a little rougher than the T500's, but still good for a speaker at this price. The useful bass extension is approximately 40Hz (-10dB). The MC500's measured front horizontal response, taken on the tweeter axis and averaged in the same manner as described above for the T500, is shown in Fig.3 (violet). The impedance is very capacitive at 56Hz, but the magnitude is 15ohms at this point, so the speaker should not be difficult to drive. A conservative rating for the nominal impedance would be 5ohms.

The cabinet of the center-channel Newton Series MC500 is tuned to 40Hz, with a minimum impedance of 4ohms at 110Hz. Apart from a small dip below the tweeter in the 2-4kHz region, the off-axis response remains very close to the on-axis measurement.

The off-axis vertical-response curves in Fig.2 again show the T500's averaged horizontal front response (violet), plus the vertical responses taken at +15В° (red) and -15В° (blue) relative to the tweeter. But the off-axis result is still better than average. As we move horizontally off-axis, the high frequencies decrease as expected, and the moderate suckout at 1kHz deepens.

The figure shows a wide, smooth frequency response, the single significant deviation being a moderate dip at 1kHz. The useful bass extends down to about 23Hz (-10dB relative to the output at 100Hz). The T500's pseudo-anechoic response at tweeter height, averaged over a 30В° forward horizontal angle and combined with the near-field responses of the woofers and port, is shown in Fig.1 (violet). The T500's sensitivity is approximately 89dB/W/m. (The impedance curve of a loudspeaker such as this, which includes a built-in powered subwoofer, does not provide information about the impedance of the powered woofer section, which would be irrelevant in any case.) I would rate the nominal impedance of the speaker at 5ohms, which should not be a difficult load for any competent amplifier. Below 500Hz the impedance rises, which might indicate a capacitor in the mid-tweeter circuit to protect it from overload. The Newton Theater T500 Tower's impedance bottoms out at 4.1ohms at 98Hz.
