| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Philll your system sounds wonderful! And I agree with what you said.FYI, I hope to post report about the speakers soon. In the meantime I received the testing Mic that was recommended and I am looking into the Rew software. | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick On a similar quest, now. I’m looking into Dynaudio, Totem, and maybe Spendor, Revel. At 5k, I’d look at Legacy, Harbeth, Magnepan, too. Some of my own experiments (reported here on Audiogon, look me up and see the great advice I’ve gotten!) have s... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @cowan217 thanks for the roon tip. Harbeth keeps coming up as a name to try. I bought the Klipsch to have something to play with while my Salks were taking 7 months to build. (The virus shut things down in Michigan.) These Klipsch are great for th... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @audiokinesis Thanks for the additional knowledge. It helps me understand why some of these effects are happening, and even though it doesn't replace listening tests, it narrows down what is more or less likely to work. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @decooney backing bias off just a little will soften tone? Just to be clear. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @fastfreight -- I’m in Denver. Was going to my first audio show ever this Fall, RMAF, before Covid ruined everything. [Shakes fist at sky in comical manner.] | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @mesch Speakers are imminent. I tried 20" stands yesterday for a short time, but since I was not having much of a problem with the bookshelves anyway, whatever improvement there was — was hard to notice. I will check again when I have time to real... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Very curious about Harbeth and Mid Monos! Please reveal what you discover. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Well I did some experiments playing the speakers the long way down the room and it was inferior for sure. Placing the speakers on the long wall and playing across the short width of the room was better for imaging and tonal balance. Of course I ha... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @auxinput -- got it. Sweep. Thanks. I'll make sure of that. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @auxinput By the way, it appears there are tone generators on Spotify, etc. too. Is there a reason not to search out these tones via a streaming service rather than download each one, burn a CD, etc.?In other words, would this do it?Audio Test Ton... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Thanks djones and @mapman. I think I'll order that Minidsp UMIK-1 @cd318 Glad the post is eliciting such a good conversation. I'm learning a lot. Given how much I have to learn, I think the first step is to get a speaker which sounds mostly good —... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @brownsfan That's very helpful. I'm going to play some test tones today and also try to get that software working! | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @djones That's quite a damning review from ASR and the measured sensitivity (below 80db), if true, would probably put this speaker out of the range of most people looking to spend modestly on amplification. Back in January, I went for this speaker... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) @b_limo I was also wondering if a lack of lows is contributing to the brightness.There is no lack of lows in my room. The lows are fine, deep, right, taut. No problem.Why "rolled off"?Specs say:Carbons 38Hz-35Khz +/- 3 dbFocals 39Hz - 28kHz +/- 3d... |
