| Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright I agree with Bundee1. The A85 might be too neutral in the upper mid and treble region. The most Epos speakers are voiced so that the upper mid is emphasized. Together, I can understand your complaint. | |
| Need Recommendations On Surround Speaker Package Try Totem Dream Catcher 5.1 package. I think they cost around 1500. | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Mosfets tend to have a sound that are tube-like where as bipolar transisters tend to be punchy and snappy. This has been taken advantage by desingers who want their amp to emulate the sound of tube. So what you experienced is not unique in that re... | |
| Vienna acoustic vs Thiel vs ProAc vs Paradigm I would stay away from Paradigm if you're after true music reproduction. Any of those other four you mention are just fine.In my opinion, Paradigm is the Bose of true hifi loudspeakers. They are good only if you like to your music to turn into wak... | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Sean: Let's do a thought experiment. Suppose there is an amp that everyone would agree it has nice and tight bass. A set of measurements are then made on this amp and these measurements are to be taken as benchmark specs for tight and tuneful bass... | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Sean: what kind of specs that can tell you how good tight and tuneful the bass of an amp? | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Just want to add my two cents:So far, as far as I can tell, there are no specs that could tell me how well an amp will perform in the following categories:1. Soudstage width2. Soundstage depth3. Instrument separation4. Treble sweetness5. Tight and... | |
| totem model 1 signature Anything would be a step up from Paradigm. Sorry for being sarcastic but I don't think I am too far from the truth. | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion Self actually says in his book that one should use as little of nfb as possible. He advices that each stage (which in itself has its own natural feedback) should be designed to give as small a distortion as possible. Then after each gain stage has... | |

| Refinish speaker in different color Thanks for all responses. According to the provided info, it looks like there are two options that will make my life easier: reveneering or having a local woodshop performing all the works after I have removed all the drivers. | |
| PSB Image 4 T vs Monitor Audio Bronze B4 Do check out these speakers at DMC Electronics. They are on sale for very low price.www.dmc-electronics.com | |
| 4ohm, 8ohm speakers and output power I was thinking that if the speakers are rated using Volt instead of Watt then the imdedance will be taken into account.For example if both are rated as 88db/2.89V/meter then they would play to the same loudness. The 4ohm speaker will just draws mo... | |
| 4ohm, 8ohm speakers and output power Sean: Let's say that the sensitivity is rated using 1W as a reference which says that given an 1W input, both speaker can generate both 88db of sound at 1meter distance. And of course as you said, speaker impedance was taken in account which means... |
