| HeadPhones: Best soundstage? I believe binaural recording techniques have been used to create a different "soundfield" for headphone listening. You might want to investigate recordings as well. | |
| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... I like to listen to recordings of Stephen Hawkin. | |
| Music to soothe the mid-winter soul "Telluride Sessions" by Strength in Numbers has superb musicianship throughout. Although all the cuts might not be considered soothing, "One Winter's Night" is exactly the tonic you seek. If it doesn't touch your soul...You haven't got one. | |
| Dahlquist DQ-8 was: Newbie needs advice... The guy behind many Dahquist designs went on to form Alon, and now Nola. I'm sure I cant spell his name, even if I could remember it correctly! I believe "open baffle" describes the 20s, not sure if the are considered bi, or dipole? The 8 is a two... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles ....or maybe manufacturers provide the grills for aesthetics, so the drivers don't stare at you when you're not doing "serious listening" and better integrate with room decor........it's marketing. | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Many manufacturers who supply grills with their speakers recommend listening with grills off, at least for "serious listening". I would venture that many feel it's a given that their customers will take them off. Most box speakers, say 30 years ag... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles My Frazier Concertos had similar foam grills. They were the closest to acoustically transparent as you will find. | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Rakuennow -In my experience, cones "drain" in one direction. Try putting "spikes" or cones upside down under a Turntable as I described above if you doubt it. My guess is that ball bearings isolate better as opposed to "draining". If the cones dra... | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? Now I'm just jealous. I was actually looking for Quartets, thinking of the slightly more manageable size, and perhaps bass output for my room. Now you tell me you got a sweet pair for $100? That -is- a Merry Christmas! | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Speakers with Grilles- on. With Grills- off.Putting grills on some speakers sound almost like putting some cloth between you and the drivers. | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? Placing my friend's TT directly on the rack, it played fine. Putting cones under certainly seemed to improve the sound. Flipping them upside down, putting the cones 'point up' caused it to mistrack on some passages. This, to me, suggests "draining... | |
| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? Just got some Forte IIs a couple months ago for $320. Basically, traded a cartridge and some cables from my closet. Black, some scuffs and minor scratches, but good corners and edges. Used them almost exclusively with my 12wpc Tamp-20 t-amp so far... | |
| Why are my B&W 803D speaks feel bright I agree with those above recommending you try a different preamp.I have had better results with Rotel power amps using preamps from other manufacturers. I would be surprised if your Meridian was the cause of brightness or edge. I have not heard th... | |
| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 With the 6ohm load, even at 90db, it might be a speaker/amp issue. Your speakers are rated at 30hz. I'm afraid you have three options, add a sub, change speakers, or change amp. | |
| Klipsch Quartet: Suggestions for Setup & Pairing I have heard tubes make Klipsch speakers "open up". The same has been said about t-amps. I have not had my Fortes very long, and now they are put away until after Christmas. Almost all of my listening has been with my Tamp-20. The sound stage is n... |
