| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow Incidentally, the superb Snell Type A-III mentioned by @erik_squires also had a rear-firing tweeter, if I recall correctly. @audiokinesis is correct, of course. As I recall it could be switched on and off. In my case my audition occurred wit... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow Duke may be onto something. Snell A/III was wide, but also attempted to get close to hemispherical. The SF Stradivari isn’t just wide but it’s curved as well. Another wide baffle speaker with curves would also be the mid-tweeter towers on the Infi... | |
| The need for variety and endless search for new details @stuartk Indeed, services like Spotify have really changed music culture, without a cultural reason. The way Spotify and other streaming services work is based purely on the economics of the owners. Like Ticketmaster, middlemen who don't actual... | |
| Single ended speaker cables or Shot gun config? I think it’s a bit of a dice roll honestly. More cables = lower resistance but more capacitance, or something like that. Whatever you chose to do, keep it affordable because the end result is not going to be worth as much as your speakers. :) No... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow Hey @rauliruegas ---- Not really. I get what you mean about apples to orange comparisons but I think it's possible to hear trends, especially in regards to the acoustic effects I'm asking about. :) | |
| Using Oppo 205 instead of per amp processor I used a lower end Oppo with a Parasound P7 very successfully. May have been the best HT sound I've ever had at the end of the day. The P7 had 7.1 inputs and outputs, allowing you to use it as both a stereo preamp and HT control center. Also, A... | |
| am I missing something? I wouldn't change a thing unless I heard other systems that brought more to my life. Your listening lifestyle contributes a great deal to what is right for you, and you may have it. The kind of music you like to listen to, what volume, when, how... | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow When I was thinking of Magico as a wide-baffle, I was thinking of the M5 with the ring radiator. It has a baffle that is proud of the cabinet. For me this is still a wide-baffle speaker. I’m also not trying to pick on Magico per se, just looking ... | |
| Not an AR-3 crossover but right part number Diyaudio.com is your best resource | |
| Static on Audirvana sometimes I'm not sure about your particular case but this used to happen to me due to changing resolutions, like going from 44.1/16 to 96/24. I solved it by going into my settings and increasing the time between songs or something like that. Another solu... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? I’ve heard a lot of expensive systems at shows and most of them left me feeling meh. Among them the original, snail shell B&W Nautiulus driven by stacks of Krell amplifiers and crossovers. In terms of exceptionally good sounding and too rich ... | |
| Please explain mono Should point out that while the mono switch is useful for those without separate mono cartridges, these recordings should be listened to from a single speaker, or pair very close together to get the tonal balance right. Our heads provide natural ... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? @shtinkydog : Sir, this is a thread about microwaves, not toaster ovens. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Joni Mitchell? | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? Remember that period of time when receivers had a variety of sound fields available? |
