| Tidal vs ATC @kenjit It's better to let the main speakers roll off, use a sub or subs to fill in the bottom. Most people would prefer to not have an eq in the main signal path and one that is transparent will be expensive. It's better to eq sub frequencies ... | |
| Tidal vs ATC @douglas_schroeder I think a gradual rolloff starting at a higher frequency is better in most situations. Most rooms will provide too much gain in the bass and a speaker that's flat to 20 hz will have massive humps. A speaker that starts to roll... | |
| Tidal vs ATC I don't have a problem with low bass, I just think it's difficult to impossible to have a speaker excel at everything. The ones that can play extremely loudly without distortion need stronger, heavier drivers that in my experience aren't as convi... | |
| Tidal vs ATC Big active ATCs are awesome speakers. I haven't heard Tidal. In my opinion you should consider having a couple of pairs. One pair that excels at big dynamics and that you can play loudly, and another pair that excels at reproducing acoustic mus... | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! Focal must be really bad at designing speakers if the grills make that big of a difference. | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations Active speakers frequently have amplifiers built in. It's just that they have active crossovers between the source and the amplifier. If you have a pair of two way speakers, you need 2 channels of amplification in each one for active, but only o... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations @erik_squires a powered speaker that is not active is one that has built in amplification but the crossover is still between the amplifier and the drivers. Active is when the crossover is before the amplification. | |
| Desktop Speakers - New Tannoy Golds versus Adam, Vanatoo etc I bought a psb subseries 100 to augment a desktop system. It's tiny and fits behind one of my monitors on my desk. It's not really a sub in that it only goes down to about 40hz but it adds a lot to that little system. If I were you I'd buy wha... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? I think the little KEF is class A within the context of very small monitors. If you compare it to the field of comparably sized monitors it was judged as good as any of them. | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic I've got a couple pairs of VA speakers, including the Mozart grands, and they are definitely lacking in punch. Those little woofers aren't capable of a satisfying punch from more than a few feet away. In my experience you need at least an 8 inch... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars So much emotion. I want the best performance for the money. Money is an object for me. I'm in the bottom 99.9999999%. I, like virtually everyone else, don't have 850k for speakers. 850k speakers are too expensive to compete, and I think that'... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm a proud owner of a pair of 2 2s. I love that space. On a separate note, I got my viewpoints set up at the office and am enjoying them for over an hour most mornings. I was very worried after having to glue the magnet back on the frame but t... | |
| White Van Speakers ? I had a guy try to sell me a pair in about '96 in a shopping strip parking lot near Cincinnati. I asked a guy in a pawn shop about it and he said they actually come as kits. They're flat and need to be put together before being sold dishonestly. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars this is fun. You certainly know when you've touched a nerve. I'm posting because I'm curious, obviously. I don't have any special secret knowledge and I don't claim to. Do I seem like I'm trying to be attractive? At what point am I allowed to... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars The state or the art would be the best designer with the best tools in the best facility using the best parts. The final product would be manufactured to the tightest tolerances and have the best quality control. Does Wilson employ the best desi... |
