| Room correction - what device works best? I don't have the luxury of a dedicated listening room and, therefore, have significant challenges dealing with a well furnished living room. I use the Behringer DEQ2496 with the microphone to balance for my listening position. I've tried other met... | |
| Martin Logan Repair and/or Rejuvenation? Nutting, I've never owned the Scenarios but have used 6 different models of ML's Over the last 35 years and am now using the Ethos. I don't remember exactly how the Scenarios are constructed but assume them all to be similar. If your panels have s... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution OK, after all of this discussion and well considered advice I've decided on at least an interim resolution. As I've alluded to in this and other posts, I'm using my EQ to accommodate several perceived deficiencies which have mostly to do with pers... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Twb, you're right; I haven't heard them all and, likely, never will. My post was probably mistitled if it leads readers to think that I mean to indict electrostats, in general, as deficient in low volume resolution...I dont. It was not a statement... | |
| High quality CD recordings Jazzfan, both are excellent and feature instrumentation matching my personal tastes. In the process of auditioning I also discovered another artist on ECM, Ralph Towner, that I enjoy and just ordered his "Anthem" album with which I imagine you're ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Our last name translated from the German language which is also the name of a city in Austria. | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Geoffkait, the concept that you're discussing and how this is mechanically acheived is beyond my ability to discuss in any intelligent way. The explanation reminds me of how one lightning bolt prepares an ionized low resistance pathway for the nex... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Geoffkait, I do have some background in and understanding of quantum physics but never in any way associated with sound fortification so this explanation is interesting and I'll be giving it some thought....as if I needed something else to tax my ... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Geoffkait, I meant to say "Golden Sound". I've done more reading though, and it seems that they are capable of reproducing only extreme high frequencies (and I doubt gigahertz claim), ignoring those important HF harmonics closer to the upper audib... | |

| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Atmasphere, yes, the fact that piezos don't need a crossover as well as the fact that I've used them with some success many years ago is what makes me comfortable with their use. I still have this nagging question, though, regarding their being se... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution ZD, I missed your last post before I wrote mine. Your comment regarding the use of the EQ to unburden the amp is the kind of creative thinking that most of us would not have envisioned. No, then, I haven't tried that approach. You asked what I was... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution I've become a strong believer in the part that all frequencies play in such important factors as timbre, even, or maybe especially, those beyond our sensory capabilities. As was discussed earlier, the base frequencey of most any instrument or voic... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Thank you for pointing this out. Right now I'm waiting for final membership verification from MLO and will read his post later on when I'm back home. Based on what I've read, the Mark Levinson amps are certainly very capable and I assume that his ... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution ZD, thanks for the clarification and I DO remember your advice/suggestions regarding the use of an equalizer as a potential solution so your response was a little confusing. On the same subject, I don't remember if I thanked you for that but I'm d... |
