| frequency range for instrument vs speaker 06-23-12: TonywinscJohnnyb, you explained it well. It takes a lot of effort and work to get it balanced across the broad spectrum. ... Like you said, you have to work very hard to balance all of that out and get it to work. You are taking great pa... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker 06-23-12: TonywinscIf you think you can just buy a subwoofer, drop it into your living room and add an octave to the range of your music, then you are deluding yourselves.Why do I bother qualifying my statements with phrases like "properly blended... | |
| $1k Integrated SS for B&W DM630i Congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure you'll be happy with that.Just to add to the thread anyway, I heard a Marantz PM8004 (70 wpc, $999 new) powering a pair of $12,500 Sonus Faber Cremona Ms and the sound was stupendous. You'd never guess it... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker 06-22-12: Onhwy61I think Frogman is correct, but it should be put into perspective. Suppose you were an audiophile with limited funds. Would you be better off pursuing bass response down to 20Hz, or compromise at 50Hz (with room reinforcement) and... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona M vs Verity Audio Parsifal First off I admit that I've never heard any Verity Audio products. I have, however, heard several SF speakers and most recently heard a pair of Cremona Ms. They knocked my socks off. They weren't even in a particularly sophisticated setup. They we... | |
| Please help a noob 06-22-12: DiamondjoequimbyIt's more like the 2100 Pre and 2125 amp for $850 ish. I can do it with the 275 for around $725 ish. :) That is the primary reason I 'm leaning that way.Man, that's a no-brainer. You're getting a pre/amp set for not much ... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Sunnyjim, I'm curious. I've been considering getting a pair of Red Dragon M-500s. What is it in your Red Dragons that makes you want to move on? | |
| Please help a noob 06-21-12: Phaelon"I'd like to keep the preamp/amp portion of this in the $700-$850 ish range.”Bang for the buck performance, in that price range, will be dominated by integrated amplifiers. Under typical circumstances, I agree. I love integrateds.... | |
| Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height Get a couple of hardwood butcher block cutting boards that are just a little bigger than the base of your speaker stand. Add spike kits to them to pierce the carpet if you need it. On bare floor put Vibrapods under the wood slabs. You can get butc... | |
| Please help a noob If you can get a real good deal on Parasound Classic series, I'd say go for it. I've heard *very* good things about this series. For nearfield, the 75 wpc amp would probably be enough, though there's a part of me that thinks you can never have too... | |
| Incredible new USB DAC from GOTO Unit USA 06-21-12: GopherI posted it on AudioCircle, but people seemed dismissive because of the price so I went here and to AudioNervosa where I post actively and know a number of the members personally...What is the projected price?The price/performance ... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker 06-21-12: Onhwy61You can't count on many speakers to make meaningful bass below 50 Hz.Way too broad a generalization.Really? I've been in audio for 43 years and worked in retail for awhile. I've listened to countless speakers and read countless sp... | |
| Incredible new USB DAC from GOTO Unit USA This post also available here and here, I s'pose Gopher just likes this DAC a lot and wants everybody to know about it. But it sounds pretty shilly to me. | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker 06-20-12: PaulsaxI seem to recall that a typical electric bass guitar drops to mid to high 30's on the open low string. For some reason 38 is sticking out in my mind. lots of fronts will do that but the discussion on spl above my explain why the s... | |
| Which Sub? The new Monitor Audio BXW10 or NHT B10D If you know where to look, you can get the Monitor Audio Silver Rx-6 for less than a pair of RX-1's plus either sub. The towers should take up less space because their footprint is the same or less than speaker stands for the RX-1s and you don't n... |
