| The focus and air lie Learsfool, your comments on the "real space" are exactly right. The contribution of the environment in which the recording was made can't be underestimated. IMHO, after the placement of microphones, it's the second critical factor. | |
| The focus and air lie Ndeslions, many things have happened: indeed people have lost contact with the real thing - - unamplified music is not popular. I want the illusion of real musicians playing real instruments in my living room. Getting there is not easy, since so m... | |
| My speakers don't "dissapear" I note that we have not heard from the OP since his first post. We have no idea of the specifics of his listening space, for example. He should provide more details. | |
| MBL alternatives Dob wrote:...but only if you are willing to wait half year on their waiting listThe Morrison omni-directional speakers are wonderful, and without the 6 month wait! | |
| MBL alternatives For omni-directional speakers, check out the Model 7 and Model 17 speakers at Morrison Audio. They deliver the musical goods exceptionally well.http://www.morrisonaudio.com | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? Don't worry too much about your choice of amp: it would take a real bad one to screw things up. A properly built amplifier, with an electronics design that has stood the test of time, will have less relevance to the presentation of music than your... | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. I thought you were concerned about soundstage. Now you're concerned about the tv? | |
| My soundstage is terrible. i need help bad. Flyin2jz, I'm offering a contrarian opinion: there is nothing wrong with your amplification and cd playback. Don't worry about it being "low-end". All the money in your bank account being spent on replacing that gear will not resolve the problem y... | |
| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control ARC should be held accountable for their silly gain control. This is not a mismatch between an amp and a pre-amp. I can just imagine how much they charge for their "volume taper kit". I'll bet a replacment attenuator is inexpensive and ARC should ... | |
| Perreaux in North America That brand has little traction in North America, and would find itself in the same horse race as countless other imported products. | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Some of us will tell you that the audio nirvana you seek in points 1-4 will more successfully be found in your choice of source and speakers. Meantime, of course you can find an excellent solid state preamp: check out the Morrison Audio E.L.A.D.A ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman, the Morrison speaker line has been somewhat below the radar screen, which is why you may not have heard about them. To the extent that his omni-directional point source speakers share concepts with Duevel and others, there may be similarit... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please In addition to the design and production of his line of speakers, Morrison has been very active in the recording of music: typically done in a venue other than a recording studio. Morrison's recordings feature just one pair of microphones, and no ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I am so late in replying to this thread! If the OP has not yet taken out his credit card, I highly recommend the Morrison Audio Model 7 speakers: point-source, omni-directional in design, these speakers are perfect for a smaller listening environm... | |
| Speakers and depth... The improvement in soundstage lies in a change of speakers. You mention that the "room is good",so we can assume that battle against reflections has already been won.I suggest the Morrison Audio point-source omni-directional Model 17: these speake... |
