| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? It is not looking like much of a competition. That Elac is a true sub with an excellent driver, which will dig down to 18 hz, as stated, no problem. One of the supposed competitors with a -6db down at 27hz is a ’woofer’, not exactly a ’subwoofer’.... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? You find an artist who can actually speak to you... Sega Bodega - I Need Nothing From You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wditpd0AvjI What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? | |
| What bass-litmus-test music do you take to auditions? This bass litmus track from the following icelandic composer will separate the grain from the chaff. (Not a easy track for a lot of speakers, will also reveal deficiencies with subwoofer integration, play it loud) Hildur Guonadottir - Attack ht... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Classical East Indian music....that's an entirely different ball game...the western ear doesn't even understand it to know how much their gear just botched it (so perhaps not worth talking about). Levinson, the Sarod player may have something to s... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? In general, rock & metal will make li’l speakers fall apart, if cranked up loud enough in a large enough room.. Here’s a prog metal track that falls in that category ( a bit more complex though, not quite the run of the mill rock), in fact m... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Boring easy/safe tracks...not good for evaluation of a high end speaker. To evaluate if a speaker is any good or not (worth the cash or not), you should play difficult tracks, the kind that the guys at shows would be scared to play, lest it shows ... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. @sns So, why do you have a Klipschorn? That’s a large faceless corporation, as you might say, with all their stuff floating around in bestbuy. You could have bought a speaker from some faceless "elusive" guy in his garage instead? Lets see, i sup... | |

| Yamaha NS5000 Indicator that there are room issues (modal, sbir, etc) you may need to address... While listening I was wondering if the woofers needed time to loosen up as they sounded a little lean to me yet this morning my mrs said all she could hear was Jo... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? @laoman It is said that a picture does say a thousand words. | |
| Are streamers digitally enhanced? Yes, there are high end dacs, streamers, that can "enhance" the sound with a dsp engine that’s hidden away. You wouldn’t quite know unless you had the engineering/software background, knew how to dig. The manufacturer won’t tell you about it beca... | |
| Yamaha NS5000 It is a very resolving speaker that will reveal a lot about what’s upstream of it. It needs a sizeable chunk of power, as you may have noted. Think of it as some....hybrid between a high end studio monitor and a ’audiophile’ speaker. I have it ab... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? If member opinions don’t carry any weight, there is always a quick account delete button. But, here it is, an entire lousy thread on this topic smh..."except for a few exceptions", he says...he must be a very special high level kinda guy, right f... |
