| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? I was just thinking that any attribute can be too extreme to sound good. Best,E | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Dave,Sorry no worries. Best,E | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? While on the subject of "realism" one thing that I think is under appreciated, but now Wilson is getting on the bandwagon, is the rear facing driver. First time I can remember seeing this was in Snell speakers. In the right settings, these can do ... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Maybe this will help. In the area of detail and imaging, I think there is a range:Detail: Dull -------> Natural ---------> Ragged and artificialImaging:Poor ------> Natural -------> Artificial, over delineated Buy what you like. I don'... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? I'm not saying there is no imaging in real life, obviously. I am saying that some high end speakers seem to make this effect more etched than real life. Like turning on the sharpness settings on a TV. Sometimes this effect is bought at the price o... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Also, PLS is an example of my problem. I really can’t listen to these tracks right now! :) It’s too good and I want to play it full out.Lots of other albums to play in "night mode." | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Dave,In terms of musical versatility, chops, and recording quality, Parking Lot Symphony may be the greatest album I have ever heard. Best,E | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? yeah, that’s a great track. I do hear what you mean. It’s easy to get that wrong. Either sounds like Tupperware lid, or etched. It’s a good test. This was a fail on the Revel’s I listened to recently, but not a disaster. Seemed to play the mouth p... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? Also, I get "bitten" more by "High End" loudspeakers deliberately tuned bright, and ragged. It makes the speakers seem like you can hear never-before sounds in your recordings.... and tires you out fast. Again, not realistic, but pays the bills. | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? @dlcockrum Check out Trombone Shorty's Parking Lot Symphony though for amazing sound and dynamics and music! :) | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? My opinions:1 - I don’t usually want LIVE volumes. I’m afraid 80% of my listening is background or late night, low volume. So I need speakers that sound good even then. Having actual performance level volumes is not my first priority2 - Imaging. I... | |
| Modern Processors, What to DO?!? What about NAD? They have a fairly decent history lately of actually providing upgraded modules for their processors. That or a used Krell, and forget an upgrade path. Best,E | |
| Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers So the issue with the Grotto is it lacks fine equalization. Having a parametric or digital EQ, especially one that self-equalizes well is a big deal. Without this a sub will be hit or miss. Best,E | |
| Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers No. Having said that, integration of a sub is always many times more difficult than getting a full range pair of speakers situated correctly. Plan to spend quite a bit of time and energy, or get professional help.Properly integrated a sub is glori... | |
| Opinion - Every audiophile should build at least 1 pair of speakers Yep now for a step up go and build a nice pair of field coil single driver speakers, get yourself a 1 to 2 watt pair of mono blocks and be done with it all! Might need to integrate a sub for the final piece! Don't make me stop this thread ear... |
