| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? This seems to be the biggest issue I find with audiophiles. Many think their system is closed and only somewhat dependent on their room. Some will will throw thousands of dollars at magical cables and power conditioners while applying wall treat... | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? If used speakers are on the list and you're willing to look at some less-than-typical speakers, nothing I have seen comes close to the realism of JBL M2s. They require DSP and lots of amplification, but I have seen whole systems, amps and DSP inc... | |
| How to damper booming bass... First google "Room Mode Calculator" Plug in your rooms dimensions. See where the problem frequencies are and where they are prone to be most audible.Check that with real world listening tests using a cheap measurement microphone and free Room EQ... | |
| Used Speaker in the 15k range If you poke around a bit you can get a pair of JBL M2s for right around there. I would have a hard time believing you could get a more accurate, better sounding pair of full range speakers for the same price. I looked at a lot of different speak... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ Daj says:Nice. To me, this blows up the argument of uselessness.The fact that the mics are better than a camera mic moving around the room doesn't mitigate the fact that Rode are, at best, "meh" microphones. Nevertheless there is a baseline estab... | |
| Question regarding subwoofers I used to use a pair of Dynaudio BX30 subs time aligned and crossed over with my Dynaudio BM15as at around 80 hz as essentially a three way system. If I sent full range to the BM15as and all the low end info to just one of the two subs I could ab... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ Nothing about youtube, but about the above statement. On two occassions, at Harman store when asking to hear different Revel speakers, the source was.......mp3s from a Samsung phone connected via 3.5mm headphone output.As long as the other speaker... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ I have a perspective a lot of folks here don't in that I've been a professional recording engineer for over 30 years. I listen to sources, I choose their placement in a given room (which often makes a HUGE difference), I choose the microphone tha... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I can't imagine for 50K you could do much better from a performance perspective than a pair of brand new JBL M2s, their SUB18, and their matching amplifiers. This assumes an existing room with good H:W:D ratios, properly properly constructed, dam... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla There are lots of suggestions for older designs. If you really want to hear a horn sound as good as a horn can currently sound, check out the JBL M2s. The list price puts them out of your range, but I have seen several ads for low milage used sy... | |
| PayPal Sucks.. Be careful, new Policies I've had some bad experiences with Paypal as well. I paid a friend a commission to sell a bunch of old gear for me last winter. By the time it had sold in April we were in full lockdown. He tried to paypal me just north of $10k. Luckily I didn... | |
| What other hobby... If you think listening to music is enjoyable, try recording it. It’s a popular hobby. For me it’s a 30+ year carreer, but the studio is where I go even on my days off (i.e.: It’s Saturday afternoon and I’m in the studio. Probably will be tomorrow ... | |
| No "Room Correction" Topic option. Why? Others here have suggested it, but I will reiterate that the most significant positive thing you can do for a room's modal distribution is to design it with modal distribution in mind. With good H:W:D ratios you can do more to make a room sound g... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought My sense of aesthetics pointed me to JBL M2s. There's nothing like a component that makes no bones about what it's there to do. That said, they aren't beautiful to everyone. I haven't heard the 4367, but if it's damn close sonically it might be... | |
| Best Rock Song Ever! I bet I could guess the years most of these responders graduated high school.BTW-It's Kashmir. |
