| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Phusis, that's the task for a driver designer to find the best compromise possible. Orpheus10, yes coherence is much more important than frequency extention. That's one of the reasons, perhaps the most important one, of why one set-up sounds right... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? We could go into interesting discussion that would lead us too far away. I try not to think with dogmas, if that's what you mean.One day digital might sound better than analogue, but not yet. When demostrating reference level speakers or entire sy... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Orpheus10, I understand. One aspect of living in a rented apartment is that you can or have to move within a year. Speakers that work in one apartment may not work just as well in another. Two way 8"/1" would work in just about any smaller/medium ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Nationality is always an issue, listen to any Dane but don't ask them. Listen to Americans too.Even if it is a dogma, it can still be a correct statement. | |
| Purchasing from Japan I bought a number of records from Japanese but that was $50-$100 purchases. Buying high end equipment is quite different. | |
| Cart Recommendations Every cartridge has a 'sound' of its own. And every other component. And every instrument. I never chase the abstraction of neutrality. Those who do will enevitably be disappointed and end up with sterile sounding system. | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Nothing will change. Room is a small box compared to concert hall or even to a jazz club. It means it is a very different environment.I am sure that all participants here heard enough of live music. Live music can sometimes sound terrible too, so ... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Orpheus10, I think you are taliking about the perception and processing of those harmonics that you mentioned. Within the context of this thread, the designer of the drivers must be very advanced in terms of the ability to accoplish that. In other... | |
| Furutech Vinyl flattener or the ORB ? Of course, there are valuable records that you don't want to dispose of. Other than that.. | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Yeah, good stuff should cost a lot, no objection from me. If someone claims that his $5k one 8" driver can do what others cannot, I'll say okay let's hear it.As an example of something completely different, I just bought $400 5.5" custom knife mos... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? I was responding to the post that got removed while I was typing. | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Focal Utopia or Grand Utopia would probably be my choices, but not for medium size room, or no. | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? With my 89db speakers and 120 watt/ch amp almost any recording sounds intolerably loud if I dial the volume control in past 11 o'clock. Normal position is from 8 to 10. Also, most recordings have a lot of distortion. Yes, you can hear and feel mor... | |
| Furutech Vinyl flattener or the ORB ? The best vinyl flattener I am aware of is garbage bin. Sorry, couldn't help it. | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? That arm is a perfect match for this particular Nottingham. Big upgrade would be to Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm but that's big cost too.You didn't mention your phono stage. Also, I understand that you consider both MM and MC cartridges. $500 for... |
