| Full-Range to Monitors @don_c55 I have never heard a system that was digitally EQ'd that did not sound unnatural. I believe you have not. This is why I really like the JL subs. They do it very nicely. So do I. In both cases, we avoid EQ above the subwoofer. If you ... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review By the way, I don’t mind anyone in particular having any particular bias. I think that’s fine. I’m only objecting to JA shilling really non-neutral speakers as being neutral or the golden standard. He likes what he likes and that in my mind is pre... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review @prof erik,Can you explain what you take to be JA's preferred "high end sound?" https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/05/stereophile-reviews-data-doesnt-lie.html | |
| Speaker Cables for my Focal Sopra 2's Wireworld reduces presence a little in exchange for enhanced imaging. | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Forgot about this, I was so bent out of shape that I did a full write-up on the Stereophile review for the Crystal Cable Minissimo Diamond. https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2016/09/stereophile-slanders-crystal-cable.htmlBut this is just o... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review JA is among my least favorite reviewers. He has a particular "high end" sound he likes, and calls speakers which are neutral colored. Just about all his biases and lack of care showed up in the review for the Crystal Cable Minissimo Diamonds. Mind... | |
| speaker advice please Again, I strongly encourage you to reach out to GIK Acoustics first. Get their advice on room products. Good acoustics make EVERY speaker better. THEN decide what kind of speaker you want. :) Best,E | |
| speaker advice please OP: I have not heard them. :) Possibly good, not sure how they do close to a rear wall without a diffuser or absorber there. | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review If you can bi-amp them, use a DSP on the bass to reel it in. Best of all worlds. I won't do a full-range speaker unless I can EQ the bass section separately anymore. | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Oh, how about Falcon Acoustics? Famous for making BBC mini-monitor reproductions and kits:https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/bbc-ls3-5a/falcon-ls35a-mini-monitor.html | |
| How loud is too loud glupson is right. Denon had a very cool idea though. You would turn the volume up to what you thought sounded "right" then turn the loudness down... so it would decrease in volume but by emphasizing the midrange. The effect was pretty cool. Even a... | |
| How loud is too loud Here's a calibrated microphone. You need to grab the calibration file online and move it to your phone, and not every app will use it. Audio Tools does. https://amzn.to/2JutQI5Best,E | |
| Full-Range to Monitors I also want to point out how much technology has really changed. Honestly the sub/satellite system from M&K was awful. The sub was under powered, and in the room, without any EQ or room acoustics, it was either feast or famine. There was no g... | |
| Full-Range to Monitors chachi - The JL audio has the single feature I admire most: great self-calibrating software.Otherwise I think they are way too expensive. But besides that, they are pretty awesome and I like how you are thinking. Best,E | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Meaning no disrespect for Joseph Audio, but I don't think of them as a "very small speaker company." I thought they were reasonably successful, like Vandersteen, etc. Am I mistaken? |
