| On-Line Concerts for the Virus Age I stumbled onto this gem for Genesis fans I had never heard of before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_l1M_cpqKY | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? Frankly, I am more interested in how it affects the people here I mean overall health and well being. | |
| Soundstage Confusion You need to use the same test recording for all cases you compare for any meaningful results. Imaging and soundstage varies widely with each recording. There is no rule that vocals are always dead center for example. Adding a good quality monoph... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? FWIW the kef ls50s sound is similar to me to the other Stereophile Class A small monitors they replaced, Triangle Titus, so at least they are consistent in this case with what they consider to sound good. I do think however that though similar the... | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) Played it on Spotify. That synthetic bass is sustained and very low frequency. What I hear is the room resonating which makes the bass seem like it is encompassing you. The actual observed imaging effect is surely determined by specific room acous... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? What acoustic property of the Ls 50 did stereophile exaggerate?One may always have their preferences but Ls50 is definitely high end when used properly. First time I heard them I was very underwhelmed. The amp had insufficient current delivery and... | |
| Cassettes still rock! Really. Anyone who was there in the 70s and 80s knows cassettes were always second fiddle to vinyl. There were many good quality cassette decks capable of making respectable but relatively noisy copies of good source material (as long as not too m... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? The thing to realize is A speaker must do exponentially more work as the frequency drops. Way way way more work must be done to deliver extended flat bass in a larger room. It makes sense then that it will cost way more for a speaker to do a top n... | |

| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? I didn’t say any amp and sub with ls50 will be top notch in a small to moderate sized room. I said a beefy amp ie high current delivery and of course good quality and sub that is also good quality.Then of course the user must get the sub Adjusted ... | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? KEF ls50 + beefy amp to drive them + powered sub can match most anything you would ever put in that same room. But the sub will have to carry more of the bottom end as room size increases. So room size is the main determining factor for how big a... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 4? I was listening to my KEF ls50s today and thinking the sound was much like when I demoed the Heresy IVs a week or so back. That’s a complement for the Klipsch but they do cost 3x more although the Klipsch would mate better with more amps especiall... | |
| Useful Information Geoffkait actually made a good one! | |
| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction Great post. Isn’t that why we all go through what we do, ie the healing effects of great music when needed. | |
