| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? In 1970, a girl who I shared a house with, had a Fisher tube receiver and a pair of KLH bookshelf speakers that were given to her by a friend. Thats the first time I experienced "warmth" which totally had me captivated. Warmth is a full, rounded, ... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 It is true that ATC was the exclusive speaker used for the remaster of Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in recent years, and has its place in 50% of Studio's globally. That also applies to Genelec, M&K, B&W, JBL. But ATC does have the Pro M... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Bongofury..Your missing the point. Having known an ATC speaker dealer in New England for the past five years, he informed me that he has had them break down and had to repair them since they run hot and can't be pushed to hard or they will clip, b... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Quanmer...that all depends..the Ayre is extremely neutral and can cut both ways..do you like your sound to be highly analytical in the center of neutral or do you favor a warm full chesty midrange?.. | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Active speakers such as the ATC's do present a problem. Your stuck with the amp that is built in. The ATC amps run very hot. If the amp has a problem and needs repair, you have no speaker. Kal Rubinson at Stereophile did not have $ 200K worth of g... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 For those who read the Stereophile review of the Sony SS-AR1, it is one power hungry speaker. As indicated, Kal Rubinson first used the Mac MC-303 300 watt per channel amp and had to leverage up to the 500 watt Bel Canto's Ref1000m too get the spe... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? I am in the process of buying the Luxman D-08 but I'm waiting for my new home purchase to close which will be in several weeks. I was down to Luxman, Accuphase or Esoteric. The D-08 has all the dynamics and detail of the Esoteric and the warmth an... | |
| Underrated jazz greats Stan Getz..the greatest Sax player who ever lived..won five Grammy's..whenever the subject of who was the greatest sax player?..Stan always gets snubbed..never makes the top of the list..His album Jazz Samba is the second largest selling jazz albu... | |
| accuphase compare to mcintosh Tzh2ly..faster or slower?..easy to explain..which pertains more to the amp than the Preamp. The rate of speed from the amp's output to the Speaker is called the slew rate and is measured in milliseconds. The higher the number, the faster the signa... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green "MY PERSONAL OPINION".." ERIC CLAPTON IS THE NUMBER ONE ROCK GUITARIST OF ALL TIME". B.B. KING..1987. In August 1968..Eric Clapton's band Cream and their blues album "Wheels of Fire" was number one in sales on the charts in the U.S..no other rock/... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 OK Al..Its my understanding the 120db level has nothing to do with SPL but the limit the amp can reach equivalent to the current output that equals a 120 db level. This has nothing to do with speakers, just the current level the amp puts out equal... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Correction...the db level of the Bel Canto is 120 db's, not 130 db's..my mistake.. | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Guidocorona..the two factor's I look at for class D is the ampere output, and the db level the amp can achieve before signal break up occurs. The Bel Canto's can be taken all the way up to 130 db's before strain occurs. That's damn impressive. Son... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Optimus..Class D is a threat to a traditional transfer function topology that has been around for sixty years. Many of the established High End component companies are not in a position to re-format. If a class D product has a large enough power s... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Optimus..looking more closely into the interior of the Audio Research DS 450M does not reveal very much make up such as extensive circuit boards and parts. A little on the skimpy side. A lot of caps and minimal board work. For $10K I wonder if one... |
