| Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth There was an exceptionally talented violin player in my daughters high school orchestra last year who performed a Vivaldi Concerto solo with piano accompaniment at a concert last year. The precision but with feeling with which he played was brea... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? That’s a fun Caravan album. Much under-appreciated. | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 The ls50’s are one of the best for it’s size and cost. C’mon kenjit its not so hard to understand that no two things are created exactly equal. If one must measure speakers relative to others, ability to deliver flat clean bass down to 20hz in a p... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Yes audiophiles are a hopeless bunch always finding fault with most everything rather than appreciating all the different interesting things there are to listen to. Doomed.....They all just need a pair of Ohm speakers and to forget and just move f... | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 Kren’s point about KEF Providing more consistent sound from different listening points than most including Dynaudio rings true from my experience with Dynaudio Contour monitors versus KEF ls50. The Dynaudios were very good but seemed to require mo... | |
| If you want to use omni's you need a lot of room. No doubt full omnis like mbl or German Physiks work best with distance from walls. Room needs to be able to accomodate that. The key always whether omni or not is to manage early reflections which blur the sound. Treatments in a smaller room migh... | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 In this particular case, I am going to speculate that personal preference will be a big factor to determine which one might choose. I owned Dynaudio Monitors and now own similar KEF though not these two specific models. They are two very good but ... | |
| Bose 901 The premise is sound however there are omnidirectional speaker designs out there these days that realize the concept way better. | |
| Bose 901 Seems like a reasonable review. | |
| Acme silver fuses I'd be willing to bet 50% of the wires and circuits in Geoffkait's souped up Sony Walkman are running in the wrong direction. | |
| Acme silver fuses I'm pretty sure Wile E. Coyote used the Acme fuses. :^) | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Here Kenjit, maybe this will help to start:https://www.cnet.com/news/the-art-of-speaker-design-explained-by-a-master/To seek enlightenment, you should first stop trolling "useless" threads. | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? I’m listening to a pair of $600 Vanatoo Transparent One Encore active speakers in our 12x12’ sunroom with vaulted ceiling and Gotta say in there these sound about as good as most any stand mount monitor speaker I have heard at any price. That incl... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? You can say whatever you want. I am only saying it about the Fritz speakers. See the difference?Fritz speakers are NOT efficient. They present an easy load to drive by design, no tricks. You are confusing two different things. | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? Fritz speakers are top notch, very high quality. Could very well be my next pair of speakers when the time comes. Please be advised to ignore Kenjit on matters regarding quality of speakers where he only offers up an ax to grind.Reasons why:1) Bes... |
