| Speaker distance and tow in?????/ If you are toeing your speakers OUT, you are not really getting the on-axis frequency response that the speakers were designed for. i.e., if your speakers are 8 feet apart and you are 16 feet away, the speakers are already at a 14 degree angle if ... | |
| Speaker distance and tow in?????/ In my experiments, it seems that pulling the speakers off the wall really increases the depth of your soundstage. | |
| HELP Which wall of new room to put system on? Thanks to everyone for the comments. It turns out that my new room is probably going to be a normal rectangle, no slopes!!! | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? Rannagarden, thanks for the explanation. I have never heard how it was done so I just assumed that it was similar to the the consumer CD-R burner process but with higher power laser, etc. | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? I'm confused. Why does the master copy lose detail? Maybe I don't understand the process. | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference Cinematic systems, what piece of equipment did you use to measure the speaker's response? What weighting did you use? | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference Cinematic Systems, could you describe the measurement technique used to find that "the CS2.3's are +10dB by the time they get to 20khz and +15 to 18 dB from 1 khz depending on the individual speaker" ? Were these your personal findings, etc.? | |
| What are the characteristics quality recordings? From the responses you have gotten so far, I'm confused as to what aspects of the recording you are talking about. As far as the technical aspects go, I think one of the characteristics of a quality recording is that "the original dynamics of the ... | |
| HELP Which wall of new room to put system on? Piezo, both long walls (20') are the same height.The room I have now is 20' x 13'8" with no angles to worry about. I tried the speakers on the short wall and the long wall. On the long wall, I got better horizontal imaging but there didn't seem to... | |
| Building a system around Thiel 1.5 I have Thiel 1.5s as my rear HT speakers. Occasionally, I'll move them to the front where they are driven by my Adcom MOSFET preamp and amp. The amp is 200W/channel at 8 ohms, 350W/channel at 4 ohms. The speakers really have a great sound: musical... | |
| Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference What parts can you upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4? The passive radiator is oblong on the 2.4 and round on the 2.3, right? I know there is an upgrade on the 2.3 that I haven't gotten which includes new coaxial drivers and changing a few parts in the cross... | |
| Balanced to unbalanced? Sometimes unbalanced sounds better than balanced. My Audio Aero Prima sounds better unbalanced. Make sure you compare when both connections are possible. | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? If you are looking for an inexpensive solution, Creek makes a passive preamp with 2 inputs and remote control. I have no idea how it performs. It is $450 new at Audio Advisor and they have a 30 day money back guarantee. Another inexpensive solutio... | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? In my opinion, a digital volume control contradicts an audiophile's goal to conserve all of the source material. I think the digital waveform on the CD/SACD is modified to decrease the volume, "and that ain't right!" I'm sure someone will let me k... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? 4yanx, on some occassions there may actually be a hihat on the opposite side from where the snare is by means of an extension hi-hat.I am a drummer also and sometimes I enjoy having the drums go from left to right so I can picture the toms and cym... |
