| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno That monitor in the video is pro version of the SCM40V2 for home. The key in pro is it must be small and portable. The 40 is in many ways BETTER than the pro version, the 40 has the new ATC tweeter and has a sealed low end cabinets so they go l... | |
| Honest Experience on Effects of Subwoofer Please I think the issue with subs is its far more complex than it appears: 1) SOURCE MATERIAL has varying bass levels. The deep bass in source material is all over the place, and its not your fault. It's not consistent at all and we find a large varia... | |
| Question about speaker angle Good post twoleftears! Is that a Yorkshire related coat of arms I see? Brad | |
| ATC SCM 50A active towers review I am so happy you are digging your ATC's. You are in good stead with some of the best artists in the world who swear by them! Brad | |
| Question about speaker angle All these brand related suggestions are meaningless. Each speaker (sometimes within a common brand) has a unique dispersion angle in the horizontal plane. This is what you are addressing with toe in. You need to know what that is, both by reading... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) Next step is first reflection absorbers-this will improve imaging quite a bit. Get the 4 inch deep panels if you can. Just get two and start with that. I forgot to ask about stands -very important. High mass ones work best. Brad | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and ryder I'm convinced this "don't sound good at low level" is a some myth started by someone who doesn't understand what they are doing. This myth is in direct opposition to what the entire professional community already know about ATC: its sounds... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole BTW, I reread the teo_audio post, wow what a great read. I would have never expected to read something like that here. I found it very insightful in bringing the two worlds (the scientific world and spiritual world) into a complete thought. Many ... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and digsmithd: wise words. I go in and out of major recording studios and also stores with speaker displays; set up is a HUGE issue that affects everyone everywhere. The biggest surprise to me is how people do not experiment with different speaker pla... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) That sticky stuff on some drivers is a dampening material, like a tar if you will, that is used to improve the driver response. It is tacky on purpose, as you sort of paint it on the cone. You cannot clean it- dust is a problem-but fortunately d... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) I have imported ATC for a along time, I have never experienced break in with them. ATC beats the HECK out of them before they ever get shipped-7Hz at 20Volts for LF drivers! Massive excursion is part of the normal QC for every single driver. The f... | |
| Speaker Stand Height And Recommendations For Spendor SP100 Speakers That is incorrect info about Sound Anchor. I rep for them in the US and they can be made to any height you want. You just need to tell them what height you want and what plate size you’d prefer (out of the three of four plate sizes they have). The... | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage Danager has it- I read here where people think the artist is the one who "builds" the sound, it's the engineer who builds it to the artists liking. Like many of the Diana Krall records are Al Schmidt, and they all have a very familiar sound as it... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole I am somewhat different from most who post here as I import and wholesale gear to professional engineers who record for a living. Measurements play a role in confirming what you think you hear or pointing out what you didn't hear. Most who’ve bee... | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage Getting speakers away from boundaries usually works very well at improving the soundstage. Want to hear a good demo? Take your speakers and put them in very large space or outside. When trying to improve your image, first reflection points are... |
