| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? @phusis I normally agree with your posts, but not this one. A transducer engineer like Doug Button (he worked at EV when I did, and then again at JBL when I was there) or Rich at ATC would agree with my post (maybe not exactly the way I say it).... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I think many of the values discussed here and elsewhere assigned to high efficiency speakers are not accurate. First the entire discussion of what is delivering the improved efficiency is not differentiated- is it drivers or how the driver is used... | |
| Sony Studiolabo Room Isn't this a practice room or vocal/recording booth? Cannot imagine you could use this for playback, its too small. Brad | |
| External XO Question High end "graphic" EQ’s are a tough thing to find today. Most were professional (like the dbx) so they were balanced. Klark Technique was well known graphic EQ manufacturer back in the UK a long time ago, considered a good sounding one. Not neutra... | |
| Bad sounding recordings Well there is aiming for a market that requires differnt production- such as FM radio. I would say the majortiy of the older records that dont sound good (Led Zepplin comes to mind) are usually about the gear used and the limits of mastering and ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? And to add to what @deep_333 just said, I think there is far more sonic variations to discover in what's BEFORE the amplifiers: preamps, linestages, DACS, phono cartridges, arms and turntables, cables , streamers, etc. Brad | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? Sorry @spoutmouzert Sort of looked like I picked on you when I didnt mean to do that. I meant to take issue wirh the idea that pro people are clueless and have no idea what sounds good. While one can find plenty of examples that support this, ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg reviews an ATC active? @spoutmouzert i don’t agree with your statement that studio folk don’t buy a good “preamp”. Most hi end pro folks do indeed spend a lot on preamps in the form of expensive mic preamps (API or Neve or A Designs or Daking), expensive consoles (AP... | |
| Hi End Audio Technician in Las Vegas Have you called Elite AV? Pretty sure they will work on a system that isn't their own. Brad | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... HI @glai The SE uses all discrete amplifers, the best [sounding] amplifiers ATC makes. More esolution, finer detials are more clear, etc. Yes ATC has made external amp actives for a long time. IN the pro side they make the SCM200 and 300- ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I can say this, we get more calls about active now (regarding info on ATC as we are the importer) than ever before. I think this bias against active is beginning to change. Not that passive will go away, but some are beginning to want to scale d... | |
| Octave HP 300SE Preamp into ATC Active speakers @seadog137 Did you ever try this combo? I wouldnt think it would be a problem, as long as the preamp has a output above 2V. Brad | |
| ATC SCM 7 V 3 Review HI Celtic Very nicely written and you understand this speaker perfectly. Not many do but its a gem in ATC’s line up. Years ago I used to demo the SCM7 by putting it on a larger speaker, like a SCM40 3 way floor stander, at shows. Id play the SCM7... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 tomic 601- arranging a simple global price structure is quite difficult as it the same exact problem you describe accurately above applies to any business in their home market. So a German company can sell for less in Germany while en... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 I know one mysterious cost that is hidden for all but the distributor- the tremendous cost of freight from a country far away. THis can add a LOT to the cost of the product by the time you get it! MAny of these smaller hi fi companies... |
