Is Argon2 still the best?
Argon2 is now the winner of the Password Hashing Competition, but it is definitely still quite new, so the same arguments that applied to scrypt at the time probably apply to it now.
Should I use Argon2 or Bcrypt?
I’d recommend you to use Argon2 instead of bcrypt for storing password. It has won the Password Hashing Competition last year and is the recommended way to store passwords. Bcrypt is not bad but it could be used with insecure parameters while Argon2 does not have insecure parameters.
How much does an Amphion Argon2 speaker cost?
Amphion rates the argon2, which is magnetically shielded, as having a sensitivity of 85dB and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms with a minimum dip to 7 ohms. Frequency response is said to be 40Hz to 20kHz. The veneers I mentioned are birch and cherry — speakers finished like this carry a premium price of $1420 USD per pair.
What kind of sound does the Argon2 sound?
The sound of the argon2 is an ideal contradiction. On the one hand, the argon2 sounds exceedingly neutral — no one area jumps out, and nothing sounds recessed. It’s not bright or dull, and it’s not forward or relaxed — very even-sounding overall. But this does not mean its sound is boring and sterile.
What kind of tweeter does the Amphion Argon2 use?
The argon2 is the successor to the company’s original argon speaker and uses a 1″ aluminum-dome tweeter and a 6.5″ aluminum woofer in a gorgeous-looking cabinet. Amphion crosses the tweeter over to the woofer at 1200Hz. This is the lowest I’ve encountered in a loudspeaker I’ve reviewed.
Where is the acoustic center of the Amphion Argon2?
Setup was a snap. I sat the speakers atop 26″ Osiris stands that put them at the perfect height for my listening chair. According to Amphion, the acoustic center of the speakers (i.e., where your ear should line up with) is the mid-point of the woofer and tweeter.
