| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? Nah. For passive speakers, for HT dubties, not too large, I like the Wilson Cub III's, er whatever. Refinement, high sensitivity, dual mid/woofs for reinforcement, speed, and less distortion. Overall superb clarity. Yeah, that's good | |
| Is this a crazy idea. Don't get me wrong. Just because a speaker is an active design (especially tbe many pro audio "active speakers" I've heard at Sam Ash) doesn't mean it sounds good across the board! It has to be a good speaker, fundamentally. You can't take crappy ... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. "So???? If ANY high end speaker designer would agree then why are such a minute fraction of makers doing an active?"IT's REAL easy. And They usually come up with about the same answers as to why the manufacture won't approve, design, or market an ... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. So, to answer the question, as to whether active speakers are superior to passive speakers--All things equal (same drivers, same cabinet, even same amps (minus a passive crossover network, substituting likely an "active electronic crossover", or m... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. "Is Flamb suggesting that only active speakers are ideal for HT?............if so your crazy."Yeah, no, I'm informed, and plenty experienced! (about 23 solid years around and/or in high end audio/video. But thanks. Infact, just run your statements... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. Problem: It will never be as dynamic and 3 dimmensional if you're NOT USING an outboard DD/DTS pre/pro! Processing DD/DTS movies in your dvd player, and passing the info out analog to a preamp (which is what you're doing), never works as well, ove... | |
| Dedicated Home Theater/Listening Room Suggestions "If you want to do it right you need to hire an expert."(audiooracle)Tranlation: Hire audiooracle to to do your room for you! (lol)" I think having a room built for you by a pro can be a con if you are not careful." (chadnilz)Basically it comes do... | |
| Why are we so passive? gmood1? What designs out there, that you can name off the top of your head are either "crossover-less" or have a "minimal" crossover, of some sort? I for one would appreciated a list. I used to have Sonus Faber Electa/Minima Amators, which used a ... | |
| HT speaker system for $1000? "Denon is a bit steril sounding receiver,... This works great with most soft dome tweets and normal dynamic drive speakers.. However not the greatest match with horns,...(Undertow)"As For mid fi stuff, Trust me the JVC and Onkyos for example are f... | |
| HT speaker system for $1000? "Klipsch are not the best match for Denon type receivers, but you can use the Equalizer settings to adjust and make them work pretty well."(undertow)I DISAGREE!!!! The Klipsch's tend to be a bit hot on the trebble, if a tad bright some times. The ... | |
| HT speaker system for $1000? room size? Acoustics? Setup/layout? One seat/multiple seats?Any music dubties? If so, moving around the house, or stationary listening? Play loud? What speaker systems have you heard in the past that you liked? Is decor/asthetics an issue? Dedicat... | |

| High end surround processors vs Vacuum tube HT "but I am more interested in emotional sound quality rather than slam, the ultimate dynamics or convenience." (Red2)This statement strikes me curiosly, as I find that the "emotion" in sound quality that's most often lacking in typical audiophile s... | |
| Revel GEM or Wilson Cub 2 ? Er, um, Ok, so why smaller speakers? I'm confused.Whatever, anyway, I think the Cubs play lower, yes, and they're probably more sensitive and dynamic as well, all things equal. However, the Gems are more flexible a bit. Wilson recommends keeping C... | |
| Recommendations for 1000 need to know more about the room, listening habits, volume level, how many viewers/listeners, acoustics, etc, etc, etc. |
