| How serious are you? Oohh, at least a 10. I am competitive and want to have the best stereo on Audiogon. Satisfaction has nothing to do with the music. It has everything to do with being better than everyone else. my reference CD Astral Sounds contains no musical i... | |
| Flat frequency response sounds_real_audio where would like. to measure the "flat" response? I would like speaker to measure flat through the midrange for sure. i do not see anomalies there serving any worthwhile purpose - tastes notwithstanding. I would like a s... | |
| Dynamic Range - the golden key to music nirvana? Sounds impressive. Following component DR = improved system DR? Would be interesting to hear I agree DR is important. Try to improve it with amplifier: 1a) Current capacity. 1b) Slew rate 1c) Total gain. 1d) Bipolar transistors in a common em... | |
| Flat frequency response Really excellent, thought provoking ideas. yage Thanks! audiokinesis 1. The in-room response at the listening position dominates perceived tonal balance, and the most natural-sounding in-room response has a gently downward-sloping tren... | |
| Flat frequency response roxy54 Thanks ! erik_squires Where did you take Speaker Design 101? Is there a particular author / engineer whose course or book on speaker design you are referring to? You make a good point. I have not seen flat FR as a design goal in an... | |

I once made a speaker with a cabinet that was too big (like 2x too big) and the sound was bright. Filling it up with blocks of wood, the sound became darke... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook’s System I would also NEVER suggest HARBETH because they are far too polite for this Genre. +1 riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook’s System What about your Triangle Comete 40th Anniversary for rock? | |
| What's your experience with Channel Separation? does this value even matter after say, 60 dB? That is comforting to know. When is more just a number to throw put there with no real audible value. | |
| What's the point of reviewing? how does one sort through what is available to draw salient, accurate, reliable conclusions upon which to act? Good question. As one audiophile’s wife said in exasperation "They all sound good, just pick one". And that is the saving grace of hi... | |

| What's the point of reviewing? Good question and IMHO not much other than entertainment. It’s more like advertising under the guise of "information". They just confuse the issue with insecurities and doubt. Reviews can be good to: 1) Let you know a product is out there. 2) B... | |
