| Canadian or US made monitors for about $500 04-14-09: MartyklThe Canadian PSB Image Monitors (larger model, forget the precise designation) are <$500 new and provide ridiculously good performance from app 50hz on up. That's the PS Image B25 at $479 list.These things are ridiculously line... | |
| Revisiting Digital? 04-13-09: JbryngelsonThis is my concern about turning my back on this "New" found high resolution format called RECORDS. I do love the musicality of Analog. Instruments sound like real instruments. But changing a record from side to side every few... | |
| Revisiting Digital? 04-13-09: PaulfolbrechtI don't think it's resolution - cause I tried SACD for a while and it couldn't equal vinyl either.SACD still can't touch analog in fine resolution. It's better than red book, but it's still not good enough.There could be jit... | |
| Revisiting Digital? In a good system, there is no digital that is the equal of even middle-of-the-rode analog in terms of musicality - period.That's right. It's just like the way a $250 Blu-ray player will give you a better image (playing a Blu-ray disc) than a $7K u... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems The OP has still not weighed in on whether he purchased new from an authorized dealer under warranty. That makes all the difference concerning the customer service he can expect. All responses as to what Wilson should do and judgments that they're... | |
| How large of a speaker do I need In answer to your earlier question about losing bass energy, it's not an open ended room that will make the bass escape; that'll let the longer bass waves form and roll back and forth. What makes you lose bass is how porous and/or flexible the flo... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems 04-13-09: Schipook so he drinks a Shirley Temple and you still have a wrenched back...happyIf the authorized Wilson dealer delivers, installs, voices, and positions the speakers, then you don't have the wrenched back either. Happier. | |
| How large of a speaker do I need Budget? Decor considerations?As to your question about bass, if anything, the open end of the room will help longer (i.e., lower bass) soundwaves form. You are going to have a serious resonant node because of the 15' square dimension, however. Tha... | |
| which speaker cables to buy? Seriously, you'd be hard-pressed to get better-engineered cable with better copper than the AudioQuest closeouts at HCM Audio. I provided the links in my previous post. We're talking $79.95 for an 8-foot pair of multi-gauge (12 ga. aggregate) soli... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems 04-13-09: SchipoWilson is suntanning himself and drinking a bacardi rum... Given that David Wilson is a Mormon, the Bacardi rum scenario is unlikely. | |
| need speaker recommendations. You need to shop for speakers designed to go on shelves or directly againt walls. Their response curves and dispersion patterns are adjusted for these unique requirements. There are many. | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems Elizabeth, I wouldn't trash a company's customer service policies based on one post on the internet. I think there are things Krupski is not telling us or leaving us to guess at. Why did he contact the Wilson distributor and not the local dealer? ... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years 04-13-09: OjgalliAlright, enough Mr.T bashing.I wasn't bashing Mr. T. I was using his outdated indictments of dynamic speaker systems to illustrate the very topic of this thread. More cone-based speakers at more price points have reduced or elimin... | |

| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years 04-05-09: Mrtennisas to faults of cone design, they include the following:cabinet colorations, lack of driver coherence, stridency of many metal-based tweeters, and crossing over dissimilar driversThose are not faults of cone design, but of enclos... |
