| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? i have both vandies and thiels, the babies of each family. the vandies, even the smallest models, NEED a LARGE listening room, the dealer's listening room was about 20' by 40', they sounded as designed in that large space [holographic imaging, on ... | |
| Sometimes you have to change you when i am dissatisfied with a particular recording, i have been known to rip it onto my hard drive and apply various of DSP to it, then burn another disc and listen to that disc instead, with greater satisfaction than with the original disc. | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? the most realistic and accurate sound i've ever heard was at definitive hifi in seattle, circa 1982 [about 40 years ago], a pair of maggie tympani IIIs were dominating one end of an acoustically treated room, on the other end were two [dorm room] ... | |
| Neutral, transparent, warm a speaker i tried for a bit [then put back into their shipping boxes] was a vandy 1Ci, in the oversized demo room of a local dealer, they sounded very 3-dimensional [utterly non-boxy if you kept your head in a vice] and warm yet sufficiently clear... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... a sort-of "backing into it" user of bose equipment- one is a lifestyle 30, fine for movies but for music, the best that could be said about it is that it makes bad recordings sound generally listenable, just don’t try to listen to any vocal music ... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? pioneer came out at the last with a cassette deck [CT-W616DR] that employed a refined form of digital DNR and also "digital flex" [dynamic treble enhancement above 10kc], that reported nearly the same s/n ratio as [average quality 16 bit] digital ... | |

| Why is most everything remastered? i have a "remastering" of a 1957 recording, "a lovely afternoon" that sounds to my ears like it came off of a somewhat worn LP specimen copy. a disappointment considering that the original stereo master tape still exists somewhere [MCA studios?] i... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive i'd love to hear what it sounds like playing existing software. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? my thiels "disappear" on all but ping-pong stereo records. and that is without any kind of special amp or other upstream electronics. | |
| What is Tight Bass? IMHO "tight" bass refers to the system's ability to cleanly differentiate [in a mono mix] between a double bass plucking and an underdamped bass kick drum beating at the same time without mixing the two up to any degree. many systems can't do this... | |
| Will you hear the most beautiful music... excellent health is way more delicious than even the most high-class beef steak. | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! to answer poster Roxy's question, i also have a pair of thiel cs.5 speakers that are my main music listening speakers, along with a pair of omni 50s for the rear channels, a universal surround box sourcing their sound feed. have maggies in another... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! the video was crappy. those speakers are not placed correctly! you can't have ANYTHING behind them except for WALLS! other equipment behind the 901s defeats the design! also too far out from the back wall and too damned close to the side walls. fo... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! totally ignoring their beastliness as a corporate concern, i own several bose products- a series II wave radio, an acoustic wave music system [wave radio sounds better to my ears but AWMS gets much louder], a sr1 cinemate soundbar [amazingly unifo... |
