| What Patty Smith album to own? "You would want to avoid the pouueetry/spoken word junk on her albums, in my opinion"A massive part of what Patti Smith is about imho. | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? I guess again the reason I stated the club like experience is down to the recordings-I have a few where the bass and mid-bass is just seriously in your face.The reason I think is simple the tracks were recorded like that but the difference from th... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Cinematic Systems-I don't think I need a meter.I understand the level I need to play my music to enjoy it and I don't think a meter can help with that.Maybe the louder you play the Proacs the worse they get but it's not a factor that I can relate ... | |
| What Patty Smith album to own? Hard to argue against Horses or Easter-if you get the chance to catch her live don't miss it,she was absolute dynamite a few years back when I saw her (Gone Again Tour). | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Tvad thanks for that.A very interesting outcome on this and I will say no more than that but I do believe there are factors in here for Audiogoners to consider for cable purchases in terms of authenticity. | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Newbee I have to say I have been a sceptic with cabling due to my experience but I retain an open mind and I would like another bash maybe once I feel settled on how my speakers sound (see my other thread).I'd be interested if other 'Goners have a... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Artk-I think you are potentially right on most of the factors except the Ayre/Proac relationship (it has worked for me very well for a couple of years and on a lot of things the 2.5's totally sing)and the 2.5's filling my room-no problem there eit... | |
| Cables-how can you be sure of authenticity? Newbee I accept where you are coming from....my system before seemed quite robust to cable experimenting and I can also accept that my ears aren't what they used to be.Having said that buying a highly rated and expensive cable made by one of the b... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Yesterday was interesting because I threw some more different music into the mix with no further running in of the speakers.The day befores listening was nearly all material I'd previously heard on the 2.5's.Yesterday I heard some of the same trai... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Opalchip-cracking post and how does this fit in for an update.I hadn't listened to anything since yesterday but left the speakers running for about 4 hours last night.Does break in take place?-I dunno I keep an open mind but I do know straight out... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Some interesting theories-I'll list them all here since some have been mailed off list and this info. may be of use now and in the future to others.1.STUDIO SERIES Vs RESPONSE-one Audiogoner auditioned the Studio 200's against the 2.5's and prefer... | |
| Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas? Neither of you guys think the fact my speakers have been lying cold for two years (the seller obviously checked them before shipping them)has any effect? | |
| The problem with the music I think the point is Brian it's made to sound "powerful" on small speakers and the like-not sure exactly how that works but there is much talk of compression on here.A good system when it seperates the sound makes it sound horribly mixed,muddy wit... | |
| The problem with the music Nrchy I don't like the tone in a few of the posts directed at you and interesting as they are they are heading a bit off topic.I buy a lot of new music and whilst never claimining Audiophile ears I do find the vast majority to sound at least fine ... | |
| The problem with the music An interesting debate(great points by Slappy and Viridian) but I can't totally relate to Nrchy's opening point.At the end of the day it is an individual perspective on how we view and listen to music-some have freely admitted on here they have eno... |
