| Stereo system Too Bright Straight not stright. | |
| Stereo system Too Bright Cheap fix is aim the speakers more stright forward so the tweeter is not aimed at your ears. Put a couple of layers of tissues over the tweeter. | |
| Is high frequency extension important to openness "speakers with exceptional tweeters to an excellent job of separating both the sections and individual instruments in an orchestra"I would call this higher resolution not "openess". High frequency extension can give more detail. Metal dome tweeter... | |
| Wilson WP 7, ATC SCM150ASL, or Meadowlark BH-2 ATC active 10's sounded better IMHO with ATC's own $3,500 integrated than the internal power amp. Active is still the better concept but when you compare $3,500 amp to ~500 internal amp what can you expect.The full size active 50's and 100's are a... | |
| Speakers similar to Avantgarde horn I agree with Ed_Sawyer. Sure the Solos are 1/2 the price of Uno's but they are no bargain even at that price IMHO. They don't have the magic of the Unos. | |
| Wilson WP 7, ATC SCM150ASL, or Meadowlark BH-2 While I have not heard them side by side, I would take ATC active 100's in a second over Wilson. However, ATC 100's need to be played fairly loud to "come on song" - maybe 75 dB as a guess. They also have a smaller sweet spot as wide dispersion is... | |
| My frugal dream be merciless Dubzilla, Musical Fidelity A3 is an integrated that sold for about 1k new. Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio was selling them new for $800 when the A3.2 came out.M-F is somewhat boring sounding as compared to, say, Krell which has some real kick to it. ... | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Fun doesn't have to cost a lot of moneyI just picked up the Panasonic PM03 which is pictured at the top of the page. Gonna take it apart, maybe a new DAC and a Noble motorized volume pot.Office Max GPX S7095SIL has a really cool 2 piece CDP / powe... | |
| My frugal dream be merciless Try the older Musical Fidelity, not the newer A3.2 stuff. M-F actually had a class A integrated about 5 years ago. Also the older X series was $699 new from Audio Advisor. As Hi-Fi Choice said of the older M-F stuff, M-F doesn't excite on first li... | |
| $1130 system for a musician, please : Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 are $328 shipped. Very clear, dynamic and analytical. These speakers would cost $1,000+ if they had wood veneer and were sold by a brick and mortar dealer. Less harsh than pro studio monitors IMHO but they are still very p... | |
| Low watt system for rock,electronica? Coincident, Audio Note, Avante-Gard, Von Schweikert dB 100's.I have heard the first 2 and they do a good job on a couple of watts. Coincident / Atma-sphere (20 watt??) was awesome combo but it WAS NOT cheap. | |
| Comparing sound of cables v. wireless How does the radio sound to you vs. CD or vinyl played on the machine in your room? Vague soundstaging, unbalanced sound, missing detail, static, grainy sound, muddy bass are some of the shortcomings I have heard in radio transmitted sound. Can be... | |
| recommend a good computer and digital camera? Gunbei, I'm glad you and vinamese got things worked out. I don't want to be the cause of another internet "situation". Heck, I'm in those too often myself.I don't think the Mac will work because I am tied to software/ printer which only runs on Wi... | |
| recommend a good computer and digital camera? Thanks for all the responses. Yea, I've got to give the audio stuff a break for a while. Besides, my computer goes through 3) error messages before I get to windows. And the "return" key on my keyboard broke off two years ago. I just stuck a tootp... | |
| What items do you rarely ever see offered for sale Nu-Vista 300 power amp. Michael Fremer's reference amp. Or it was at one time. |
