| 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... | |
| Axpona 2022 We (ATC) were up on #15 near MBL and we haven't been mentioned either-although we were packed all three days, We also had larger speaker down on the main floor in the Auralic Room. We had 40 passives and 19 actives on 15 in two rooms and 100 acti... | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl I know the engineer on that record and it was recorded extremely well and sounds very good IMHO. He is the master at guitar sound and drums. He also recorded 10,000 Days. Hes done some Queens Stone Age records and Slipknot too. I think he is... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole Forums are quite useful in educating oneself. By reading, one can learn what's important to a majority of the posters and apply this to your own preferences. For example, you might be interested in a turntable, By reading you might determine wha... | |
| ATC SCM 7 V.3 and I’m curious what the reasoning is for why an ATC 7 suffers at low level? Fletcher Munson effects? There is no technical reason why this would be true. One of ATC’s strengths to owners in both pro and consumer is the consistency of sound from high ... |
