| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. A good system will bring out the best in all recordings.This may be politically incorrect but all recordings are not created equal so don't expect this.Most recordings will be very listenable on a good system if you like the music.I have a remaste... | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. The recording is what it is. A bad recording is not the speaker's fault. That's what signal processors like dynamic range expanders tone controls, and equalizers are for, to make a lesser recording sound better. | |
| Can't Stop Grinning... Very nice.Enjoy! | |
| Can't Stop Grinning... I have a $40 Philips stereo CD/radio alarm clock that really doesn't sound bad...it competes with a Bose Wave radio...honestly. It really sounds quite good with a pair of Realistic Nova 45 headphones (a classic great value in their own right) that... | |
| Class A Amp I remember drawing similar conclusions as Tvad regarding driving low impedance loads when researching the Moscode. | |

| Speaker Help Required I have a similar setup but no similar problem, my sun room is 12'x 12' with catheral ceiling and opening on the right side. I have my equipment setup similarly, but no sub. I currently use Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII monitors on stands there (see pic... | |
| Class A Amp OR, maybe a Musical Fidelity supercharger amp combined with a lower power Class A might be interesting. | |
| Class A Amp Ouch.If there is such a thing, better have deep pockets and keep tabs on your power bill.Class D/Ice Power would be a greener and more practical option I would think. | |
| new small room, big change What makes a speaker "musical" as opposed to "linear"? | |
| Speaker Help Required Maybe try placing a plant stand or some other item in the corner first to see if damping the corner solves the problem before dropping $350 on a high priced sonic obstacle. | |
| Speaker Help Required For a room like this with more difficult issues in locating speakers, clearly either Ohm Micro Walsh Talls ($1000) or 100s ($1700).The wide dispersion, more omnidirectional dispersion pattern on these help make speaker placement with good results ... |
