| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Maybe others here have knowledge of the amp that might help to clarify what can be expected. In general it’s worthwhile to pay attention to impedance matching amp, pre-amp and speakers. Distortion results otherwise which can produce the symptoms o... | |
| Peter Green He was a very interesting person. Very talented but many demons it seems. I’ve seen the documentary and recall he had a tough go of it but that seems like a totally rational conclusion to draw about some getting rich and others not based purely on... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Funny thing about burn in .Is it your speakers need time to break in or you mind needs time to get used to the sound you are hearing ? Both can easily come into play. It usually takes some time to be sure about things. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Regarding more detail on the upper end, have you ever had that with your setup in the past? What was that setup if so? Not familiar with your amplification but perhaps something could be done there? If you like tubes, take a look at the Linear Tub... | |
| Give Bach a try Nice. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) With the monitors try putting them on low stands given the low ceiling, maybe with slight tilt back. Also play with toe-in. Brightness can be tamed often by not having direct tweet exposure to ears. Also often helps with soundstage and imaging. Th... | |

| Underrated album: Sonics AND Music Most John Mellancamp Popular songs were very high quality recordings for the genre and good stuff all around. Not 1 clunker on his “Best I Could Do” collection. | |

| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! As I recall, those Harbeth are not very big either like the ls50s but go for a good bit more $$$$ than ls50 these days. I thought them very small for the price when I saw them. Never compared the two directly but two significantly different sounds... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Hmm yeah well looking at specs for your mains which go down to 32hz and the 10” sub which only goes to 25 hz, on paper, it does not seem like the sub adds much. Maybe in a larger room and/or if main amp is underpowered to drive the speakers to the... | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Very interesting gadget! | |
| Subwoofer. Great one song. Not so great the next song. Well I don't see how one can argue a sub is not for bass, but I will agree how it is done will likely have an impact on mid-range. |
