| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? I think many of the mysteries discussed in this thread make it difficult to grasp the unifying issue. Different rooms and different speakers, its extremely complex behavior. ( I swear acoustics is a black art) Is it the speaker or the room? Eri... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? If I ask someone with Floyd Toole level knowledge of loudspeaker-in-room acoustics (which I can with Billy Woodman at ATC), he would tell me that consistent spectral content of direct vs reflections is the key to imaging. If the reflections look... | |
| Manufacturers I've worked for a lot of different manufacturers in hi fi and pro, large and small. Some of this "ignoring" thing or not answering thing is not intentional. One could look from afar and say "they should do this or do that", but my experience is ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? The one issue missing from this discussion is your impression of acoustic treatment at first reflection points completely depends on how wide a dispersion speaker you actually use. A speaker that narrows with frequency, say a horn, will send less... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Everything recorded has a defined audience, a place it is intended to sell and be heard. If the intended market is car FM radio or earbuds, you as th4e engineer and producer make it to sound as good as you can on those playback methods. The effo... | |

| Joseph audio perspectives, magico a3, ATC scm40 v2 Well I have done that! I have tried every combo of passive with ATC amps (which is not so difficult when you are the importer). The active wins every time on the same issues: detail, image, transparency, dynamics. I've even done that demo at a... | |

| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Helomech, you make a lot of good points, well done. Its funny everyone gets caught up in cabinet shape, wood or not, shape etc, when the room you put the speakers in makes far more tonal difference than the cabinet. AS you move up the quality an... | |
| Subwoofer insight. Am I the only one that thinks this system is underpowered? 86dB 1w/1M on a 75W tube amp in a big space does not sound correct to me; I'd pick a good 200W/ch amp and see how that does. I may agree with some of the sub comments, but you don't even... | |
| ATC SCM v3 - First impressions....... He certainly is fixated on cabinet shape! Brad | |
| ATC SCM v3 - First impressions....... Is weight the only issue in my entire post ? Brad | |
| ATC SCM v3 - First impressions....... Kenjit, A few corrections for you:1) the ATC 20 Classic is 27kg, not 18. ( The ATC SCM 19 is 18 kg). 2) ATC is known for its terrific midrange, not weak midrange3) very few of ATC's models are sealed, but we do shoot for the ideal 12dB per octa... | |
| ATC SCM v3 - First impressions....... smodtacticalIs there any concern that the ATC speakers are quite light and thus more susceptible to distortion ? I think their flagship speaker is like 31 kg.Where did this "flagship is 31kg" info come from? From what I can see, their SE150 (the... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Id say close to zero [conventional 2way/3 way] speakers designed to be vertical can work properly sideways (rotated 90 degrees or horizontal). The reverse is also true, very few designed to work horizontal can work vertical. You must be aware of... |
