| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Output is relative, the Paradigms flatter response will work against its perceived bass output. Fact is the Paradigms use 8" woofers so why would I expect them to go any lower than an 8" in a t-line.As you mentioned they just go louder. The mass p... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Thanks for the links, and do I need to say transmission lines are not exclusive to SD designs? | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 640H I love mine, networked with my brothers 640H a 100 miles away stacked 2 more USB hardrives on for more storage, grab music off the wireless laptops HD, sounds like the highly regarded 640 CD player when playing from its hard drive and a notch off ... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Cdc, your comments are based in a rich misunderstanding of what it takes to make a good speaker. Fact is most single driver systems have worse timing errors than properly designed multi-element speakers. Your history lesson also underestimates how... | |
| ML 432 not enough? Levinson and Magneplanar are two similar sounds, and despite the ooomph of all that power its the thin highs and mids of the Levinson coupled with the less than Dynamic bass of the Maggies conspiring to get bright before your system gets right. 33... | |
| Recommendation on hard driver based CD player Cambridge Audio 640H, allows you to daisy chain other units, outboard USB hard drives and other computers, my brother and I play files from our units over the internet across state lines without having to download!.Your 39 has a digital input? the... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Joeylawn----My comments about Onhwy61 were sincerely complimentary.:) and I think he knows that.Unsound;The Lake Contour/ Quad Mesa nearly sounds identical to the EMM DC2 in the "narrow" setting when used as strictly a DAC. Once you use it to tie ... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Focal SM8's with DSP correction EQ and built in amplification, $7K/pr run your cd players digital out right to the speakers and control the volume from a windows based pocket pc or laptop....what more could you want? ...maybe a matching DSP subwoo... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Drubin, I appreciate the correction I was jammed for a word and i got it all wrong.Just google my friend they are many as Onhwy61 (decidely not an audiophile in my opinion) has given you a nice leg up on some excellent lesser known analog ones you... | |
| EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one? Audiophile grade? lets hope not!Autoll, You don't use 861's in two channel, but Meridian Digital was always better to all my clients ears than the Levinson (same store) infact most clients laughed at the difference, so I'm quite sure the 861 will ... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Baffled,I own TAG McLaren FYI but you can do it GMood's way and since I live near Silver Spring MD, I have no problem coming with a Meridian processor and show you what I'm talking about once you have your My-T "2 channel rig" going.I'll bring som... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Gmood is in my experience wrong and will only make your system brighter, and its a waste to have two preamps in any system. B&W makes for one of the finest multichannel systems on the market and using only two channels when listening to music ... | |
| tube watts vs solid state watts Distortion sounds approximately 10 times (6-8dB) louder to the human ear than an undistorted signal at the same output, so the perceived "loudness" of an amplifier will be directly related to the amount of TH-distortion in the signal. Just look at... | |
| Recommended Hi end dealer Call Bob Hodas, his custom Meyersound X-10 towers will make the VR9's sound old fashion in comparison and the $25K you have left over from your 70K budget, you can have Bob (a top acousitcal engineer) design a room around the speakers. A complete ... | |
