| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Some feel the ESL-67 had a better midrange but I've come to find they feel this way because of the lack of low frequency reproduction. Having little bass, and accentuated midrange, there nothing else to draw their attention away from it. It's the ... | |
| Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor Your right Eweedhome. It extends outside popular music and into classical now more than it did years ago though, but there was many poorly equalized recording back then as well. Listening to some classical on my own system at any point there are o... | |
| Kharma ceramic blow up Speakers don't blow up because of "amplified distortion which causes the speaker piston movement to become non linear" but rather clipping allows power to defeat the crossover point and burn the fine coil and leads, similar but different to how a ... | |
| Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor My experience has been that the recording medium and media have been the weakest link in my system. I prefer higher resolution speakers but this places massive limitations on what I can play to get a truly live detailed sound without hearing backg... | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? They were a good speaker, we used to have a set. I replaced them because they were great but not up to some other speaker's standards, and the asking prices on them today are ridiculously high. | |
| Yamaha NS1000M Help, Advice, PLEASE I actually own one pair of NS-1000Ms, two pairs of NS-2000s, some B&W, Manger MSWs and Quad ESL-63s. There's a bit of an interesting story behind my 2000s; they are NOS with one pair still in the wrapping, but that's for another day. The woofe... | |
| Does anyone know what the Yamaha A NS500.. The NS-500 was released in 1983 and is a ported two way whist the NS-500M is a three-way incorporating a graphite mid-range transducer. In the early 1990's Yamaha released the Japan-only YAMAHA NS-500YST, showing some of the character and style or... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones One speaker that sticks out is the NS-1000M but the chances of finding a pair that function within specification are rare and slim. On almost every pair I've ever seen the tops of the formers or leads between the coil and solder joint to input lea... | |
| Why choose studio speakers over full range? Most studios use multiple speakers for points of reference, a near field and far field arrangement. There are many reasons; some may be mixing preference, some studio are not as acoustically neutral as they should be, mixers want to know what thei... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years No real breakthroughs or advancements apart from capacitors with lower harmonics and slightly faster settling woofers. Some manufacturers finally decided the shape of the cabinet was important enough to dictate design and that was known in the 195... | |
| B&W 803s vs Focal 1027Be I haven't really been impressed with the B&W 803S though they did appear to have good mid-bass stereo separation. I did however find them boxy, colored and unresolved but that may have been in the design with a purpose. They seemed to cover al... | |
| The Beatles albums finally all remastered You know what they say in the recording world: No highs and no lows...must be mixed at Abbey Road Studios | |
| Has anyone heard the Yamaha NS 2000 The NS-2000 eliminated several small subjective issues in home use with the NS-1000. The original NS-1000M was specifically designed to be used near a [heavily] acoustically treated wall or on a mixing stand for studio use and therefore when used ... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? I really liked Bowers and Wilkins but they are very dependant on the source gear. | |
| Revel f52 vs B&W n803 or 803s? I wonder what the difference is between the Nautilus 803 and newer 803S? |
