| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude I have thought a lot about the MBL speakers and for exactly the same reason I crossed them off. When miking orchestras you put the mics hopefully in the sweet spot of the instruments, French horns being the hardest, but I don’t lis... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 exactly, that setup wouldn't be what I would like but as I keep saying the only system that is designed like I think it should be is the Steinway, they say it may be the best there is but I don't want to set up 2 sets of main speakers in my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Also Kota so well said this is playtime after 35 years of being totally focused on the most minute details of sound and now I want an amusement park of enjoyable listening. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 ill try the Meridians but I think Speaker guy is right, even if Macintosh owns Sonus Fabre I don’t think these units are made for each other. One reason is because the Mac 900 is basically 2 amps welded together it weights like 180 pounds i... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 That is funny, Carver was definitely ahead of his time he just had a professional line of PA speakers and mixers that were really bad, I'm sure it wasn't his fault but still his name was on it. My BHK amps are tube front end and MOFSET ba... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 This video seems like the way I want to go except better speakers, he spoke interestingly about law of diminishing returns near the beginning. I definitely agree with using synergy in equipment but then again I got the Naim / Focal headpho... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused That’s a good idea I think it would be fun making appointments to listen to equipment but I’ll feel bad because I have to buy my upgrade from the guy who is going to buy my building so I don’t want to lead another audio dealer on. What is the prop... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Passive speakers- crossovers in cabinets no amp Active speakers -no crossover in the cabinet Powered speaker - amp in the cabinet I've been using these terms incorrectly sometimes, sorry. I do like Bryston they've always been a good company... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @secretguy Let me ask you a simple question, is it smarter to buy speakers and amps made for each other or not made for each other? Considering the many variables in speaker drivers, amps, and crossovers isn’t it important to have all these compon... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Yes I did ask an you gave me some choices but my BHKs are about 8 times more expensive and are hybrid. PS Audio sells audio equipment based on cost of material, everyone says their equipment compares with more expensive equipment but PS aud... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 why would I be shopping for those speakers was because at that time 3 years ago I didn’t have all that equipment (also you got most of the specks wrong, I’ll give you a list). I’ve put about $500k in sound equipment in the last 3 years abou... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude I'm sorry for even making you think of that. Thanks for the answer. It would be a frustrating project because it's practically untestable. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 You brought up the TV show "Lost" I turned down that show and 3 of my friends worked on it and got fired, it was run by producers that didn't understand why they couldn't shoot next to a freeway in Hawaii and not hear it on the tracks. They... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I agree with @thespeakerdude in general passive speakers that have amplifiers matched to them is definitely level 2 audio, I imagine the only reason you would make a speaker that way is to really cater to very high end people, the manufactu... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude It doesn’t seem like a very hard problem to create a spreadsheet about speaker drivers, amplifiers, crossovers, cables, etc. and come out with a compatibility number. I understand the changing variables and functions of curves ass... |
