| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo Anything from Blue Coast Records, especially if you want to show off DSD. | |
| The Horror Just for the record, I'm joking. I don't actually give a damn how much a system costs as I believe excellent sounding systems are available at many different price points. | |
| The Horror The only real audiophiles own Formula 1 teams. | |
| Best way to offload currently inoperative Conrad Johnson MV60? Well, you can sell anything on e-bay or here if you describe it accurately. I once sold a watch in terrible working shape, but I still got 5 stars because I spent so much effort describing it that the buyer new what he was bidding on. Personally ... | |
| revel f208 @jtgofish - That's another thing... the tweeters just don't contribute that much to the sound. I mean, they do but we often spend way too much time and money on them at the expense of ignoring the midrange. | |
| Are your speakers losing air? Well @tvad - I guess you solved it for everyone!! I mean, yes, listening nearfield solves the problem if you can listen or want to listen nearfield. Otherwise, EQ the missing frequencies by adding a 3dB-6dB boost. EQ and room treatements ... | |
| revel f208 OP: To be able to swap out one tweeter for another and not change the crossover is a lucky situation indeed. More to the point, you sound ready to start experimenting, and I am going to encourage you to leave stock speakers alone, sell them and s... | |
| Are your speakers losing air? Several readers replies make me think that they missed the solution here: Eliminate early reflections A principle that can be applied to any speaker. | |
| Are your speakers losing air? You’d be shocked at how many well known and well respected, center channel speakers have horrible off axis speaker performance, and measurements. @simonmoon That's why I built my own. 😁 @moonwatcher I think you touched on several issues ... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Hi OP, Sorry for just now jumping in here. I think there’s at least a small part here I can help you with: How much of a difference does a center channel make for video? My first real jobs were centered around motion picture sound syste... | |
| sibilance in system You may be too close to the tweeter axis. Try reducing the toe-in,and/or moving the speakers closer together. Also, of course, check your room for recent changes. Sibilance is often caused by too any flat reflective surfaces. | |
| room setup suggesion needed @mijostyn Let me rephrase. I find your attitude confrontational and ill informed and I don’t need to participate in your argument as a result. Good day. | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? @moto_man We should separate two issues. Lossless, and recording quality. WAV, FLAC, and ALAC should all be lossless formats, but I don’t do quality assurance on every algorithm out there which is converting from one to another, or used in CD rip... | |
| Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need? @loomisjohnson - I can believe that, but also Pass I think likes big old school speakers. See if you can find Pass' article on damping factor and whether it really should be low or not. | |
| room setup suggesion needed @mijostyn - I decline to play with you anymore. I’ve shared my beliefs based on measurements and hands on experience, which I believe is all backed up by research which you are best left to your own devices to find. |
