| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help Classic Audio Reproductions is another I would consider with the proper tube system to match that I just recalled. I know Atmasphere who I think really knows his stuff likes these! Can't say for certain how they'd match to your amps though.Cheers! | |
| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help I've been led to believe that horn designs are not champs at 3-d or holographic imaging, if that is what we're talking about.This is based on what I have gathered from others on A'gon. I have not logged many hours listening to horn designs recentl... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Ptmconsulting,It hasn't been a burning issue for me either. It is what it is. You either live with it or there are ways to deal with it both physical (clamps, new records, CDs instead) or via signal processing (filters, etc.).On the signal process... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Two good things (relatively) about low frequency noise playing records:1) I find it less offensive during listening than high frequency noise2) If you can see the woofs on speakers, you can be sure when it exists because you can see and/or feel it... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Eldartford,I am in agreement with your perspective on these things. | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions "I say, why not put the filter in, if it is a problem. If you don't hear it, don't worry about it."Agree. It's not illegal. If it works for the better for you, then you should do it.BTW the other common negative effect I've seen with rumble and ot... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions If your record is warped or cut too poorly to deliver satisfactory sound, even with filters, clamps, etc., then you have two practical options:1) get a better pressing of the record2) buy the CD or digital equivalent if possible.Unless the tt is n... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions I've seen or been able to feel (to the touch) unwanted low end woofer excursions in smaller bookshelf/monitor speaks I've owned in the past during record playback that on paper could not produce subsonic frequencies. This tells me that the unwante... | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? I'm very fickle in general.I suppose I've been with Ohm and Linn the longest. Ohm for service, sound and value and Linn for sound and quality/longevity.I'm new to Audio Research but I could see becoming a minion there for quality and sound.I'm sti... | |
| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help Whoops, I should have checked those amps more carefully.Forget the Ohms. You can do better elsewhere with tube amps. | |
| Smooth treble "live music sounds much more "smooth" and airy in the high frequency department."Depends on where you are sitting relative to the source.Sit next to a drum set and give the crash symbol a good whack. Chances are it is not so light and airy. | |
| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help Lucky guy!Consider a in home trial of a larger pair of Ohm Walsh speakers, Walsh 200, 300 or 5 Series 3 or 4 drivers specifically. These are less fussy than most about placement/location and room acoustics and deliver the attributes you're looking... | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way No speaker can be best on the planet until someone thinks it is. | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s Chad,Rest with ease that you missed nothing with 8-track. | |
| High End jargon; your take Rodman,You're right regarding drums and bass! |
