| 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... | |

| 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... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? I have had OHms and Dynaudio Contour, not Focus, running concurrently off teh same gear in different rooms for several years now. So I am very familiar with these two.There are significant differences between OHM Walsh and Dynaudio for sure. It sh... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night The LCD almost always consists of:1) hot girls and/or the talented girl next door 2) cute or hunky guys 3) catchy beats4) pushing the boundaries of morality of the day5) lots of attitude. At least as much as teh masses will tolerate which is a lot... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Pop music has always been pretty lowest common denominator. The LCD has changed a lot and probably broadened over teh years resulting in a bunch of stuff that mostly all sounds and looks the same.Its all the other stuff always around that gets fac... | |
| Great female voices Dynamite! | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Its somewhat entertaining along the lines of a circus perhaps, but musically MTV keeps lowering the bar every year. The early glory days of teh 80s and the music videos then seem like Beethoven in comparison. Can it go any lower? | |
| Snobbiest audio websites "You have to walk the party line or get reported and slapped."Another job for Donald Trump. I wonder how much he pays for his wires? Probably more for his hair. :-) |
