| narrow and wide baffles and imaging There's kind of a continuum of room to speaker matching.<narrow directivity> ----------------------------- < wide directivity ><narrow sweet spot> ----------------------------< wide sweet spot ><less room dependent > ... | |
| Are subs worth the price for music? Worth the price yes. Worth the trouble.... :) Another story. Integrating subs well is rarely done, and hard to do. My recommendation is first, treat your room acoustics well. Contact GIK for advice. This may improve your speaker bass so much you n... | |
| Sound stage height?? well, I don't know if my suggestions will "fix" your imaging and recording problems, but I do think you'll find some things you like about the experiment. :) And yeah, ceilings matter. | |
| Is there actually a difference? Depends on the speaker. :) Reasonably good amplifiers driving a very neutral load should sound the same, except for distortion, which amps like Pass deliberately add. I listened to some very good solid state, linear amps and Class D and could not ... | |
| Spare Bryston B60 for headphones, or 2nd system? What is your listening style though? I bought very nice headphones and I only use them while gaming. Hahah. :) | |
| Sound stage height?? Recordings matter. :) I will say that imaging suffers in the direction of poor treatment. If you have bare floors, may be worth throwing some blankets and pillows on the floor between and behind the speakers as experiments. Also, what happens if y... | |

| narrow and wide baffles and imaging Room acoustics matter a great deal, but I’ve read, and listened and I truly believe this:Extra-wide baffle speakers are better able to convey a sense of the recording space compared to "normal" and "skinny" speakers in most rooms. My favorite exam... | |
| Small or large sub for music They are mutually exclusive with high fidelity because they can never perfectly integrate.<< cough >> bs << cough >>Just because you have never known how doesn’t mean it is not possible. However, it takes high degrees of sk... | |

| Small or large sub for music "More important, IMO, is to have a SEALED sub for music."Can anyone provide a supportable reason for this, or is this just an ad nauseum repeating of inaccurate information? It's a myth, with a completely different issue coming on. Sealed have hi... | |
| Let's talk Tweeters! The plasma tweeter has some really interesting characteristics. I've heard it. Meh. I'd be happier with a top of the line AMT or Be from a number of vendors. This was at an audio show in a cramped room though, so it's quite likely I never heard it... | |
| Room correction, DSP for dummies. The only advice I have left is this:Listen to the system in store with room correction. Make sure you like the room correction’s choices before you commit. Be aware that when you commit to this you are usually committing to an entire chain of devi... |
