| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? I get your point regarding the size of the sweet spot, but that in and of itself is unnatural. That's not how one hears things when one is at a live acoustic event when one moves around. The Ohms are much closer to the live experience with this on... | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? The only drawback of all the GE speakers is a narrow sweet spot.Interesting. I've never found a narrow sweet spot to be a defect but a strength.Mixing on a nebulous speaker makes it difficult to create a sound stage whereas one with pinpoint focus... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? You are orthogonal to reality. Please provide laboratory test data to support that most CDs are inverted polarity relative to the master tape.None that I checked ever were.And, Mr. Kait, please answer a question that has always bothered me about t... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? There are no standards for PolarityThat nonsense went out in the 60's. Studios and engineers were very cognizant of polarity and gear was wired so the studio maintained it. By the time CDs made their appearance, it was a non-issue.A studio may hav... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? Makes us even. Most CDs are not inverted. | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? For the challenged, once one determines the preferred sound, flip both electronic's polarity switch and speaker polarity to determine if the electronic's polarity switch introduced a coloration. Many do. | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? @elizabeth Not to rain on your polarity parade, but have you listened with the phase inverted on both the electronics and the speakers?Some electronics alter the sound with polarity inverted, some not subtly | |
| Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference? First off, I don’t think I listen like most. I played in the band in school. I soon realized that specs were essentially meaningless and contributed nothing to musicality. Later, I was a recording engineer. A system may have flat frequency respons... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? A system that has a small comfort zone is no system at all. | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? @mamboni +10Phase trumps frequency response.When one has listened on minimum phase error systems, almost any program will suffice to reveal phase errors in others. The tick of the stick on a cymbal or mixing a salad are equally as torturous wrt ph... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I heard the References, 2+ and the 7s. Family resemblance was good.I don't think the Hsu sub would be a good match in your room and layout.IMO, the key to great imaging with a sub is to have good phase linearity for seamless integration. Without a... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @ otinkyad - What is it you don't like about the current setup? When navigating the swamp a while back, the [hate the name] Golden Ear Triton series were only bested by B&W 800 D3s & dual REL subs.Which Hsu sub do you have? [ported is a No... | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible So basically, if you’re to believe these people, they are claiming that their cables are lowering the 2-5khz range by a few dB.People mistake frequency response for time and phase errors. When rooms interact with time and phase errors it is entire... | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible Western Electric would never have made that cable if they'd had today's technology. | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible For the googlth time, systems in a room as individual as a fingerprint.Blanket recommendations are not worth the bits to transmit them.See http://ielogical.com/Audio/CableSnakeOil.php for examples of how the same cable reacts with just amplifier a... |
