| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @mijostyn You were sharing how you achieved an immersive experience with two speakers in another thread, can you explain more please? | |
| 2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions Parasound and Anthem come to mind. | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It My goal is to retrieve the original set of acoustic trade-off used by the recording engineers in my acoustic room or with my headphone... That is how I started my acoustic journey, I e-mailed the Dubstage studio and asked how could I recreate the... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @cleeds You might be surprised to learn that many of the sonically best music venues have no dance floor at all. Would you concede that the best performance spaces address acoustics? | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @mahgister immersiveness is the second key acoustic concepts The immersive community recognizes this and today even budget level immersive receivers have dsp features built in to help address the acoustics (audyssey, dirac,ARC, etc). Your $$$$ ... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @ghdprentice It seems that lately no matter what topic I try to discuss it gets turned into a discussion about multi-channel audio. I for one would appreciate it if those discussions found a home in their own threads. I can take a hint. 🤝 Thr... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @mijostyn A center channel will improve the results. It will provide the best two dimensional image for the largest number of people (locations), a wide "sweet Spot." Agreed. That third dimension is the most fragile of all audio characteristic... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @mijostyn Quadraphonic died rapidly because the technology at the time could not do it without marked compromise in 2 channel performance. Today you can get a Jim Fosgate designed 4 channel upmixing matrix in a tube preamp (Black Ice F360) that... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @mijostyn I totally respect where you are coming from and the debate I remember from the seventies was the value of 4 channels (quadrophonic) vs 2 (stereo). I don’t know that we are comparing apples to apples re: the center channel and music rep... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @fleschler OK, if you are talking mastering a stereo recording I agree, two speakers with the engineer sitting in the sweet spot is what you need to master the recording. Now, where our personal "preferences" take a fork in the road is you feel ... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often As to why most speaker manufacturers use "off the shelf" drivers is because it is more cost effective and easier. Easier? Yes. Cost effective? No, companies that make their own drivers don't do it to compress their margins, they do it to increas... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @fleschler The only reason I would need a center channel is if I was able to playback a R2R 3 channel recording The only reason you can say this is because YOU are sitting in the "sweet" spot, everyone else in the room is screwed to some degree... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @bluethinker If you type Carver into the search bar of the Virtual System area you will find many members with systems posted using his designs you can contact via DM. You can also see many of the professional reviews that are linked to on the C... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @bluethinker I have been using Carver gear for about 20 years, both his preamp from Sunfire and a Carver amp that uses trickle down tech from the legendary Lightstar design. Bob has a LOT of patents so when you hear one of his designs I find it ... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @facten +1, anemic choices The Carver RAM 285 I linked to above: Power test at 1Kz produce 129w @ .25% THD+N. 85 WPC 18 Hz to 20 KHz minus 1 dB at less than less than .5% THD+N. |
