| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 The @thespeakerdude clearly works for a speaker company that doesn't allow social media so he's being careful not to give his credits. That's certainly understandable I'm very glad to learn from his experience as well as yours. Thank you b... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude All my components are balanced, but the subs have an AC hum my system runs off of 2x circuits both plugged into PS Audio P20 Power regenerators they send the power to DC then back to AC, seems good in theory. I've tried lifting gro... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I've got the worlds most analytical headphone setup, the Focal Stella closed headphones and a Naim Unity HP headphone amp, both components are razor sharp and not very fun to listen to, accurate ya probably very much, I got that for working... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @Kota1 Lots of great points one very striking one that goes right along with the OP is speaker cables. If they are a component and worth the price many people are willing to pay then eliminate them and go with active speakers. Many people who have... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 My notes of several of the curves we have to deal with to get a coherent signal in our listening rooms is exactly on topic. @lonemountain said it perfectly "Active is not about where the amplifier is, it’s about where the crossover is." Abs... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @snapoli2 if you do get the Genelecs absolutely positively only get "the ones" doesn't matter what model you get they are all very good. Genelec took a huge step forward with these , you won't go wrong. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Maybe someone out there has a fix for this. Another very frustrating part of the journey for me. Crossovers and hi/low pass filters are the most misunderstood part of the audio signal. My home theater looks at the subs and just 2 speakers in a ste... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @invalid I'm no expert on tubes but it seems like your right. The tubes on my BHK preamp have been changed a few times a year plus I've bitten on the scam for super turbo wonderful tubes that of course cost more, those tubes did seem to actually c... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude @kota1 Thank you guys I admire both of you, you come at the problems from different perspectives. My BHK 300 amps have tube input stages and Mofset outputs that's the way it should be tube output stages is the weakest part of t... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Ok @thespeakerfude @kota1 I have a test for you both. You have seen my home system (Not the mixing system) and I have a chance to give it a $200k upgrade, I love the high and mid that Im getting from my main 9hs I love the bass I'm getting form my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I think I have 2 of these units to run my surround sound Paradigm Bs and 2x channels on my Paradigm CC. Paradigm and Anthem are the perfect example of a company that should really make speakers and amps and crossovers made for each other. I... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain I have a feeling you know some of those guys, I got to talk to John Meyer for 2 minuets, I was star struck, the best part was I got to also meet Roger Nichols at the same workshop, I think it was at an AES convention about '85' or so... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @markw1951 Say you buy a 200k $ speaker system then add an amp (Nelson Pass A), is that amp the best it can be for that speaker? The answer is no, unless that amp was designed for each driver in that speaker it is not a perfect fit. The equation i... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @mijostyn Thank you I appreciate your experience. @rick2000 Interesting speakers, hope they do well. | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @kota1 I think where Peter L is possibly a bit wrong about not having a center channel is that so much dialog is 100% sent to the center and music sounds good with the lead in the center, if you don't have a center channel but only rely on a cente... |
