| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Also I wanted to send you this about the new Genelec speakers, I was not a fan of Genelec for 30 years I thought they were very harsh and poor low end. these new speakers are totally rethought. They make some amazing claims like "The new fl... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I have been searching for scripts but haven't found one that is just right, also I lost a ton of money in the market last year so my big movie planes are paused for now. I'll get it back and get things going again soon enough, I hope all my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Oh man Avid tech support was very professional, kind, understanding, and they didn't have any experience with my system. I bought Pro Tools Ultimate, a MTRX Studio, an HDX system and an S4 Control surface. Everything is networked and my hou... | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source @ervikingo Hate to say it but I keep thinking about your neighbors WiFi transmitter system. I spent 20k on buying 2x PS Audio P20 AC regenerators and I still have a hum. Also it is rare that 60hz is the only frequency usually you get a lot of 12... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 @thespeakerdude @mijostyn Yaaaa! After 4 months and many hours on the phone with the tech support my mixing system is all working. I still have weeks of testing to do but I’m so happy. I put on my reference music Katherine McPhee "I Fal... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius @femoore12 exactly that happened to me a few years ago I worked with a singer everyone knows she and I were on a TV show so I knew her voice perfectly, when she make an album at capitol records I was able to go with her. This was so interesting fo... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius @atmasphere Also I have had my tube amps and preamp for about 3 years I've bought all the cool tubes that are supposed to make the equipment sound better and there has been a big difference, that is really scary to me there is no way I can use my ... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius @atmasphere Thank you for that great post. Your words carry a lot of knowledge and experience in the audiophile world, exactly what I wanted. I did professional sound for 35 years never used a tube amp but I liked them so much after I retired I bo... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude Something we haven't mentioned is the nature of class D amps when they can be designed for a particular impedance of speaker they can be very good, this is why a class D Subs are not so much of a compromise it acts basically like a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @secretguy Honest question do you feel like audiophiles should demand accurate designs in a synergistic way or do you feel it is more important to having "fun" with putting together systems at random not designed for each other. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kenjit Sorry I’m really not communicating well at all, my fault. I’m only talking about the engineering design of the speaker amp combination and when you use powered speakers in which the amp is literally connected with no speaker cable to the a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn another note you can use non class D amps in powered speakers my little Elac Navis powered speakers use BASH amps (hybrid) for the low and mid frequencies and an A/B for the high frequency, (300W total). These speakers sound great for my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kenjit no crossover between the amp and speaker is a big deal, you didn't say what frequency you were talking about 20hz or 20khz it makes a big difference in impedance. Also you didn't mention that the cross over was made designed at speaker le... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn I'm not marketing at all I don't care what anyone thinks of any of my systems (I have 4 Dolby Atmos systems in my home) I'm retired after 35 years in sound recording and mixing but I do care about what experienced people in the audiophil... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Great example, when I hear my active Genelec system it is always striking when the first note hits the transient quickness of even a soft note is odd compared to a normal system. Also in the article they mentioned current amplifiers not "cl... |
