| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? @optimize mentioned some good points as have some others. To address your question: the sound will definitely be better with a sub or two or more. Even if you have a speaker that can truly reach down to 20Hz the position of your speakers will dict... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy Tannoys need to be heard in large well constructed cabinets. The cheap Lancaster cabs are useless. A Tannoy corner horn is unforgettable.Tannoy = musicMagico = hifi (I have only heard the model 3) | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? A very beautiful heartfelt performance from great jazz pianist Jacky Terrasson and lovely Cecile McLorin singing Oh MY Love, a John Lennon number.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KR4w1MIdHU@ghasley and @bigaud, Billy Paul's version of Elton John'... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative You have a good size room and say you might be moving to an even bigger room so I mention again Volti. Standard box speakers can not sound like these. Their top speaker is basically a modernised Altec Voice Of The Theatre.These speakers will foll... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Room treatment is required to achieve your stated desire : " intimate and holographic sound with great scene" Without treatment you could find yourself on the downward spiral of endlessly changing speakers. After finding a warm and less offensi... | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative Vandersteen are great value and great sound. They image well and are not fatiguing. Altec was mentioned, these things can rock out but are a bit agricultural looking. Volti are a modern variation and look stunning. They have a few models.@atmasph... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! @jhills, you have quite an abrasive demeanor. Claiming superiority over someone you know nothing about! You state: " working for a company on the forefront of modern electronics, not sure you’re going to teach me much about that or electronics"... | |
| Speaker Cables Hey pesky_wabbit stop chasing carrots and educate yourself.To get an understanding about XO design try reading articles from the experts I mentioned. You are not arguing with me, you are arguing with Sigfied Linkwitz. Yes it's that Linkwitz of Lin... | |
| Speaker Cables @pesky_wabbit, interesting article thanks. An increase in resistance in series with a DUT will attenuate the signal I agree but the ESR delta between good film caps will have no noticeable effect. Any slight effect will be completely swamped by th... | |
| Speaker Cables OP, the advice to use 8AWG cable for hook-up wire is simply ridiculous!I like AWG 21 to 24 solid core pure copper OCC wire for the tweeter with no crimped on terminals anywhere. Solder all connections. If using solid core then provide vibration r... | |
| Speaker Cables @cakyol, we all get it, your hearing is suspect or your system is not revealing enough.Why do members with considerable sums of money invested have to listen to your negativity and rude put-down??? Do you really believe so many enthusiasts across... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? I have 2 or 3 favourite tweeters, my 1st choice is Donald Trump | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? The advice to acquire a mic and download REW or HolmImpulse, as used by Earl Geddes and also free, is solid. Playing with this allows you to see the results of added treatment. The basic problem all rooms have is the sound taking too long to decay... | |
| My System's Weakest Link - What Say You... @ pgaulke60, I somehow deleted a long post so I'll try and keep this short.You state: ' No need for any room enhancement identified' How do you know? You have great components but to hear them really perform they need a treated room. Without the ... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well @tomic601, Hi Tom, may I assume you own or have owned the 'Pandora' and if so what did you upgrade from and have you ever heard the Mojo Mystique kit. The superseded V3 interests me at about 50% the cost of pandora. |
