Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system
@mofojo You would think the 9hs would have a ton of bass the speakers really punch above their weight, hybrid design, beryllium tweeters, with large beryllium mids, and 4 woofers with balanced opposing frames and 2700W peak but in my case no, I bo... 
Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system
@mcroth I love the system I have, the PS Audio BHK Amps are very good with their hybrid tube design and I love ½ of my Paradigm 9hs the tweeter and mid drivers are wonderful but I had to replace the low end with the JL 113 subs and they buzz, I've...

@lonemountain What do you think about the Steinway Lyngdorf Model B  system. They have the same speaker philosophy as we do I think. There are some good short videos on their page.

@lonemountain In production sound 90% of all our energy is to accurately record the actors dialog, we would like to use a boom mic like the Sennheiser MKH-50 all the time but when the stupid directors (yes I'm still bitter) shoot wide and tight sh... 
World's Best Stereo System ?...
@phoneman33 Thank you, I'm considering a Model D system but have never heard one, I have a Lyngdorf processor and it's great I have a Spiro Steinway Model B piano. I really appreciate you taking the time to list your thoughts.     
Tube or solid state

@phusis i think you made a great point about what I said about @kingharold horn system with years of trial and error concerning amps with the proper speakers. What I'm preaching is the inconsistencies when audiophiles read a TAS article and spend ...

@kingharold Thanks for the story, you make me really want to seek out horns. Glad you understand active speaker synergy, I feel like it is a step into audio reality away from arrogance. I just can't imagine someone paying so much money for speaker...

@kota1 I'm sure there have been no movies done in that way. Of course Jim Cameron movies are the best 3D examples. I was going to present binaural recording to Cameron but it would be to much of a jolt listening to sound from a real point of view ...

@thespeakerdude Thank you for that great DPA article about surround sound formats, DPA is also one of the very best microphone companies anywhere. This article and the YouTube video with it highlights the futility of microphone stacks of any type....

Not sure 8k video gives you other benefits aside from resolution like high resolution audio give you other benefits like sustained envelopes (a bell will ring longer).   @thespeakerdude You are right to say that a recording done with a dummy hea...

Ok ya got me Sennheiser is the best microphone manufacturer ever ( they also own Neumann). This mic has the capsule to close also but Sennheiser can support the mic with accessories like windscreens blimps and shock mounts that make all the differ...
