| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Apologies for my earlier bombasticity To be sure we're even talking about the same thing, and more importantly If you'd care to enjoy a quasi religious experience this weekend, and perhaps be reminded why you love this hobby? Find some time... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Two examples of what you are missing ☺ | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno klipsches tektons zus - these are ’lively’ brash sounding speakers, excel with drum snaps, forward presentation, not the most refined, not the best at imaging - so they work well with electronic music, rock, ’party tunes’ - they are good with the... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @jheppe815 some EDM/Electronic mixes are massive / "big console" type mixes that are very fun to experience with extended bass and a not overly compressed mix. Your senses are sometimes overwhelmed (in a good way) by these huge mixes played bac... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? That classe stuff embodies everything i hate about US design. Sharp edges and corners- terrible feng shui. Ye olde tourist trappe script- urgh. Oversize faceplates, rack mounts that noone uses, unsoftened brutalism throughout, no. Just no | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno A speaker that succeeds with bass-driven electronica requires greater dynamic range, sub bass extension and mid bass slam than a design intended for music made exclusively by acoustic instruments. Many speakers that are perfectly adequate for othe... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @mrteeves Hip hop and techno are usually compressed and not super dynamic I could not disagree more | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Couldn't agree more wrt VTL and ARC. What were they thinking? The VTL 7.5 should be on my radar, but there is no way I'm buying something that looks like a bad 80's vcr, sharp edges and all. The Siegfried power amps look like 90's pc's. What a ... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Another vote for Boulder 2108. I'll be saving for one myself soon enough. I find Boulder to be just so musical. My yardstick isnt the aforementioned s/n ratio, but whether a component causes me to change my plans and llisten to music some more. ... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I strongly disagree with the notion that Focals are analytical. If that's how they sounded, it's on the rest of the system. I use Boulder amps with my Stella Utopias and they are richly textured to the point of being lush, and have truly stupendo... | |

| Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae @larsman controversial no doubt Family man came first and showed the way. Robbie Shakespeare and Flabba Holt took it onto the next level. Robbie Shakespeare has more snap to his basslines, Flabba more groove. Robbie walks, Flabba rolls. I adm... | |
| Great Rock Bassists your Top 10.Rock not Jazz. But Hey what about Reggae Weird thread. But 'Flabba' Holt of the Roota Radics, best reggae bassist by a country mile, only other rivals would be Jah Wobble Gary Clail of OnU Sound Then Tony Levin Lemmy in his Hawkwind era Andreas Trentemoller |
