| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Psacanli, You really need to hear them both yourself. I'm still waiting to hear a pair of the Salon2s around my area, but so far no onein NY has any to demo... There aren't many places holding demosof them on the east coast for some reason. | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers Shadorne,The ATC has a very flat response. Do you find that flat responses sometimes limit the 3rd dimension to the soundstage? In other words, do you find it is more like a two dimensional picture than a three dimensional picture depth-wise?Thanks. | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers Hesson11, I use this page. it is a list of all the NRC measured speakers:http://www.soundstageav.com/speakermeasurements.html | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I am not sure how me pointing out to what I hear as harshness and grain (Plus hollowness, lack of body, artificial upper midrange and lumpy bass) will make you hear it as well. Obviously, you purchase these speakers cause you liked the way they so... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 In the mean time, go listen to any decent violin or soprano recording and see how much of it you can take on your Watt. Then try the same on the Salon or even better the V3. And yes, I know that a violin high note is only around 3.5K but its harmo... | |
| What is a live speaker? Shadorne, will those work well in fairly small space also? Such as on either side of my computer for editing music and music playback as I record stuff? That is the kind of situation I will have them in on a day to day basis. Thanks again! | |
| Best speakers for compressed audio iPod headphones. ;=oP | |
| What is a live speaker? Live sound = ATC.Shadorne,What model do you think would work well in a 18' x 33' room with 9' ceilings? I am considering upgrading my studio monitors, but if I do so I want the monitors to work in my listening room as well for entertainment purpos... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I am afraid it is on paper as well.Yes, and outside your hearing range, unless you are prepubescent. Considering your comments, that is a possibility I am contemplating.I invite you to point out some specific places on some specific albums where y... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 You are not alone Jkalman, my experience tells me different as well; comments such as those by Dhaan do not phase me.I think what happens is, people get an idea in their heads from other people or graphs and convince themselves they are hearing th... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Call me a bat but the Watt sound to me exactly like they measure. I believe that the word bright should be change to harsh. In regards to the break-ups, you need to keep in mind that when these get agitated, distortion levels of the entire twe... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 The Studio2 measures very similar to the Salon1. I had the opportunity to hear those a few times and didn't like them. Despite any awards in the objective measurements category, I thought they sounded flat dimensionally and lacked midrange transpa... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Regarding W/P8 sounding bright... To my ears they sound little bit "hot" in lower treble(not high treble). I even personally discussed that "quality" with Peter Mcgrath on one of his presentation of W/P8s(he setup the system with W/P8s on that pre... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Dhaan, Most people won't hear the break-up mode. Keep in mind that the average adult can only hear 12Hz to 16KHz well and the breakup occurs at ~20KHz. Also, the frequency range it occurs in is responsible for qualities of sound that are fairly et... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 I don't understand people saying the W/P 8 is on the bright side... If anything it is rolled off gradually as it approaches 20KHz. When people say something like that, I tend to assume they haven't listened to the W/P8 in a decent environment and/... |
