| Watched the MTV awards that night Read his writeup on Wikipedia. fascinating stuff!How'd we start on Al Jolson in a thread about VMA awards again? A good omen maybe. | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night I have a 2 record Jolson compilation that I recall being pretty darn good. I need to give that another spin.Jolson was still a popular legacy act when I was a kid in teh early 60s. I recall TV ads pitching Jolson recordings. I never paid much atte... | |
| Anyone Try this? Try different things and listen. Whatever physically stabilizes the speakers best forming a solid foundation with the floor will probably sound best. Hockey pucks are not a bad idea. I wish I thought of that one. Getting speakers settled firmly an... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Low, I don't know where you live but if you are ever in Baltimore/DC metro you are more than welcome to stop by and give a listen.Hope it all works out.Cheers! | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Also I will add that I have heard much deeper soundstage with mbl than OHM, but only in a tailored dealer showroom with non parallel walls running 10-12' or more behind teh speakers, not something most people can reproduce in their homes. The OHM ... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? The main thing OHMs have that mbls I have heard do not is the coherency through the midrange (where most vocals and music occurs) of the wide range Walsh driver used. mbls doen right are impressive but use multiple drivers and a more complex cross... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Glad to share what I can."They project a wide, deep image where the soundstage is at the front of the room."True."The instrument position; eg, a guitar, is constant while the listener moves in space."If location is clearly located in the recording... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night The thing is with modern technology/production, there is so much done to beef up a production technically, often with a single sound/style in mind that will appeal to the masses, that the individual talent of the actual performer matters less than... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? Probable why pro installs from ceilings with a LOT of open space behind can sound pretty good if done well to take venue acoustics into account. Its hard to have that much space behind speakers in most homes and still get the overall acoustics rig... | |
| Prilaluna Prologue Premium with KEF LS50 It could be an artifact of using teh PL tube amp with the KEF ls50. The KEFs are not tube amp friendly. Look for measurements on teh KEFs. Impedance peaks and dips and/or pahse angles at various frequencies with the KEFs might produce teh results ... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? The thing about the OHMs is over teh years I have run them indoor and out, off many amps of all sizes, and they are never the bottleneck. They can take whatever you throw at them, at most any level. Most amps will clip before the OHMs reach their ... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? The OHMs tend to shine best opened up at higher volumes, but do fine at lower as well and I listen to them both ways frequently. An amp that does not have too low a damping factor will help keep things clean and tight at all volumes.Some might pre... | |
| What drives your music and live show preference? Everything and anything. | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night You don't hear much about Al Jolson anymore these days, but yes, he was the biggest star of his time as I recall.Says a lot. | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Regarding tonality, I would say the OHMs tend to be as dead neutral as anything I have heard whereas the Dynaudios tend to have a touch of warmth and a hotter more exiting top end that can also tend towards a bit more fatiguing depending on what's... |
