It's an excellent movie, by the way, about Columbus, called 1492 Conquest Of Paradise. Gerrard Depardeau as leading actor, European production. Vangelis wrote the soundtrack.

Another excellent post by Duke.I'll just say that we don't want exaggerated unnatural speed and dynamics. Another point - do we want to correct the recording with equipment and speakers ? My position - theoretically yes, in reality - do no harm fi...

2.5 or 3 way; why one over the other?
Unless you really need to go very low and play your music very loud, large scale music at near concert level, great 2 way floorstanders that do 30hz well is all that's needed for a medium size room. One tweeter and 8" woofer. And great source and ...
