| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box Role Audio makes an amazing sounding very small speaker. It is about 6"x6"x6". The sound is very real and natural. It has a single driver and no cross over. Very interesting loudspeaker. | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma The irony of these posts is that that John Q. Public might joke the same way about our loudspeakers. I was once laughed at for spending $2000 for a pair of speakers. The Sultan od Brunei (sp?) might find our posts insulting. | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Shahinian Diapason. These loudspeakers can play at extremely loud levels. They also have extremely deep powerful bass. They are capable of reproducing a rock drum solo at live levels!!!!! My neighbor thought I had a drum set in my house!! Designed... | |
| How to eliminate system hum? A1126lin: Try 3/2 adapter on all 3 prong components except the pre-amp. | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K I disagree with phasecorrect. Technically speaking, it is possible to be killed by the pressure of a sound wave. If someone were to be really jamming down to some serious SPL's they could be at risk of death. Therefore since life is short and one ... | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K Again Sean another brilliant post. You hit the nail on the head. "Sustained SPL's without compression". I heard Rush at the United Center in Chicago about a month ago. Damn they rock!!!! The only way to really reproduce that experience is to gene... | |
| How to eliminate system hum? Sean: I read your entire noise hum and polarity post. You receive an A+ in my grade book. I think you qualify for the honorary Phd in hi-fi. How long have you been doing this? P.S. The owners manual for the CAT SL1 ultimate had a similar discourse... | |
| How to eliminate system hum? Thanks Judit. I now have 3 to 2 adapters on everything but the preamp and the hum is totally gone! Ah sweet music again! I guess this is a fairly common problem. But in 22 years of stereo ownership, I haven't had it. I'm thinking the 380 watt/ cha... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Professional engineer (civil). Licensed professional land surveyor. I opened my own business 4 years ago and work primarily as a sub-consultant to the larger firms. One of my financial goals while busting but in college was to have a cost no objec... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1. Toyota Tacoma 4dr 4x4 (work truck)2. Same as #13. Bentley Turbo- Mercedes 12 Cylinder 4dr | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K Bugtussels bass is transmission line like the Shahinian. Could we have a connection here? | |
| What Speaker are Great for Rock and Roll $5K-20K Under 5K Klipsch. Over 5K Shahinian Diapasons (12K). These babies can play louder than your body can stand. The bass is unreal and extends to 23 cycles or so. The speakers were designed with the intent of reproducing the full range of a symphony o... | |
| How to hear the best speakers? I agree sounlabs aren't cheap. They are however inexpensive compared to rivals such as pipedreams. It's a relativity thing in my opinion. My point is that the most expensive isn't always the best. | |
| How to hear the best speakers? In my quest, I was actually looking for the best loudspeaker money can buy. It just so happened however that the best sounding speakers in the shop were frequently not the most expensive. The shop with the Quad 988's had loudspeakers selling for 4... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? It could be worse. I once read a post from a fella with a nice pair of sound labs (or at least they used to be). He was short on speaker wire so he was in the process of splicing two extension cords together to use as speaker wire. The mother in l... |
