| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? "So you take a recording you know and THEN go listen to this on a system such as I'm on about and see what happens."With my current system, I can't think of any recordings that I have that are inherently "frightening" merely as a result of the way... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? "It is NOT just superior 'clarity', it's some form of unnatural 'emphasis',"Often its just the way something is recorded which is seldom the same as listening live. Its difficult to equate the two. | |

| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Axel,You have to listen to the whole work from start to finish for proper effect, so give yourself some time, it is LONG, about two hours or so (Mahler's longest symphony I believe), but well worth the investment!I may do the same tonight as well.... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Spin a good recording of Mahler's 3rd Symphony as an emotional acid test for your system.if all is well, you should at various points be frightened, relaxed and experience a gamut of various other emotional reactions as well. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Its like asking "What is the most important organ in the body: brain, heart or lungs?" You need them all working together properly! | |

| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Nope, haven;t heard the "latest and greatest".Latest for sure.Greatest? Technical improvements on paper seemingly but I haven't heard them so I can't offer an opinion. It's always a matter of opinion I suppose in any case.Supposedly more efficient... | |

| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? "Mapman, what about Ohm speakers? Do they deliver?"Yeah, I would say so.They are not horns nor do they utilize field coil technology drivers, nor might I be able to afford them if they did.Feed them sufficient power and current though and they def... |
