| Audiophilism is a hobby I was listening yesterday to one of the first all-digital rock albums Peter Gabriel's Security. I had the original CD in a vintage 16-bit player and was amazed by the vividness of the sound quality! I felt what I was hearing was the master such ... | |
| Krell KAV-500 vs S-1500 5 Channel & cables The KAV seems to have plenty of power but some dialog can sound "hollow" and slightly tipped up. Also, there is some occasional HF distortion during musical passages on shows (not using it for 2 channel listening). This reeks a bit of a degrade... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas I find my system completely satisfying at 70 - 80 or below. Additionally safety standards are guidance and I would prefer to be no where near the limits, they easily could be too high as well as low. I would not want to put my hearing in jeopardy... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @deep_333 illustrates the deep, deep chasm between DIY builders and kit makers, modders vs. the high end industry writ large. "How can a speaker maker offer such poor performance for so much money" they ask, and sometimes I have trouble defend... | |
| Upgrade from DeVore Gibbon X Get a pair of Borresen X6 and observe what the gibbon has denied you all these years...or even try the cheaper Borresen X3 (cheaper than your Gibbon) and it will make you wonder how/why on earth you paid 12k for the gibby. | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Perhaps musicians listen about as well as we would performing. ?! I wonder if you are thinking about some 19 yr old punk rocker screaming at a bar into a 300 dollar plastic PA kit. I am not a professional musician (not my livelihood), but, I’... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Bro, her new album sucks...it's full of filler crap. The critics aren't wrong here... The poetic lass has run out of talent, it appears!! 😁 | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Hmmm, let me take a guess.... He a) bought the drivers from someone else b) threw it in a box in an exotic garage and c) wants to charge 20k for something that measures like this...meh No thanks...I’d probably send this speaker back to its daddy.... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @mijostyn I want to hear exactly what is in the recording. I do not want to hear any editorialization by the room. How is this possible without attending the recording session? Don’t we want a presentation that we consider natural and represent... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... @mahgister Please answer this simple question. A recording of a trio. Guitar, Bass and Sax. The recording engineer has mixed the final tape to have all three mics/instruments playing an equal signal from left and right channel. This puts the soun... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... It appears (in light of some speaker suggestions mentioned above) that many have very low standards for what is "3D", "deep", "huge", "enveloping" or not... 😁 You could also get the Theoretica Applied Physics BACCH processor (forget speaker shopp... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... MBL is a poor choice for your quest. Look at "concentric driver" designs....TAD, KEF Blade, etc. | |

| Listening position/speaker position Your Revel is a bass flaccid speaker. Get a pair of subwoofers. This is what your room looks like. Position yourself, subs and speakers accordingly. |
