| Tannoy or JBL Leog, where are you located? You oculd bring your amps to my place. | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Czaivy and Mapman are very much on track. Listen to a real instrument in the room you will listen to music in. Compare that sound to the speakers with similar music. If possible, record. Also record your wife's voice, kids' voices, play it back.Th... | |
| Tannoy or JBL Leog 2010, again, against typical audiophile policy, I cannot project on a combination I have not heard. There is not a much more unpredictable audio phenomenon than speaker / amp matchups. The 67000 is easier to drive (despite same efficiency / s... | |
| Tannoy or JBL Franks, I have not had Classics in my place so cannot comment in an educated way. I know, that is against audiophile policy to not be SURE of something even if one has not had it in one's home! For sure they can sound great. I have heard that. To ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE A poster wrote: "Magico speakers are so transparent to source, they demand a lot of upstream equipment"I will add, after much experience with them, "or, they are edgy enough, due to some particular distortions, that one has to be careful about mat... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Given the many, many, many thousands of Tannoys that have been sold, I would say the number for sale versus the number in the field is extremely low. I have never seen any brand of speaker that it is so common to have folks own for decades. At lea... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle There is such a thing as "good enough" indeed!As for no VTF change with VTA change, it is complicated. Springs do NOT do acheive this as they are linear force per displacement devices, and VTF varies as a trigonometric function. Therefore, the com... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle A question was posed about why the angle of the cutter and angle of the stylus need to be the same. The trigonometry dictates that for small angles of deviation it does not matter much as the cosine is changing extremely little for angles of 1,2,3... | |
| Tannoy or JBL JBL specs the bass in an anechoic chamber so their specs are so different than typical high end audio exaggeration. I have measured flat to 35 hz in a gigantic room of 50,000 square feet!!! A generous sized listening room of 14 x 24 x 10 is 3,360 ... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle There is some confusion here due to terminology, I believe, as well as a lack of clarity, in some cases, of what is really happening.An attempt to clarify:1. The cutter head height is constant across the lacquer, an therefore, the final pressed re... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Mature attitude and post, Charles. | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? This is a huge problem in today's audio world.Decades ago I used to invite customers to bring their amp, their old speakers, anything they wanted into my room for demo.I would loan out speakers if someone was serious. I used to go there to help ca... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Hi,Am octave is just a doubling of frequency. The ear can pick up a span of TEN of those doublings! The eye: only a bit less than one doubling. Color perception is a frequency based phenomenon, just as sound is frequency based. Eyes pick up an ele... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Oh Mapman, you are goading me now with that type of crazy subject!It really is harder to get good sound than good still images. The still images are static: no transients! Easy! And judging it is easy....it's static!Movies are just series of still... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Mapman, photography with a current $500 camera is a LOT better than nearly all high end systems.I think you are mixing metaphors....mixing apples and oranges....the performance and orginal compositions/scores/melodies is the art in audio. Do we re... |
