| Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C I can only speak for the OHMs but I think they are hard to beat for prog/rock/metal, which constitutes a major portion of my listening as well, especially with the right amp. That kind of music is perhaps the biggest reason I am where I am today.T... | |
| "tears to the eyes good" Merlin Master VSM Well, I'd leave it up to Mt to defend his style if he sees a need. I'm merely defending the right to comment as one sees fit.FWIW, Bobby, I think you were quite civil in your response! | |
| "tears to the eyes good" Merlin Master VSM Anyone who has been around at all knows that some things are real and some are more just marketing. Its important to be able to determine how much of each in each case.THe "hook line and sinker" marketing focused comment provided some initial bala... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker I'm no expert but I gather that it is believed most likely the undertones or combination tones, when they exist, are created by our human hearing apparatus. IN that case the speakers do not have to produce the undertone frequency, our ears do that... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "Cranking" was a big part of the break-in process for me with my 5S3s. Any break in possible is a good thing though I would say. | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research I feel sorry for myself sometimes that I can't always get what I want, then I throw the switch and end up being thankful for what I have (usually).It happens often when I watch "House Hunters" on HGTV and realize I probably cannot afford that gorg... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker FRogman,I think we are in agreement save perhaps the technical details.As I understand it currently from very limited reading on the topic, as long as the recording captures all the real harmonics produced by the instruments accurately, and the sy... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I have a few CDs of remastered hits from the 30s and 40's. THese are some of my favorite recordings to listen to these days. I grew up in the 60's-70's rock era when listening to most music that pre-dated The Beatles was not "cool". Being the geek... | |
| why do we argue? I kind of like the fact that on the Internet, people are more apt to say what they mean and tell you what they think of you than they might in person. It can be a double edged sword when things head south but a useful tool for self improvement tha... | |
| why do we argue? "I've been called all sorts of stuff by folks that would never have done it in person both because if we discussed in person we could both better communicate and also the obvious smack in the mouth."Yep. A "Smack in the mouth" web app could be a h... | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker Or "combination tone"?From what I read, it would seem to account for hearing frequencies lower than the fundamental but is believed to be most likely due to non linear inter-modulation distortion associated with how we hear more so than an aspect ... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? Listening to most really good stereo recordings on headphones is in fact the stereo equivalent of watching a 3-D encoded movie without the required glasses. Room acoustics are the equivalent of the 3-D glasses for a stereo recording. And of course... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? Newbee, you are right of course.Check my last post again. I had edited and expanded it to cover that exact caveat. | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? "No one listens to music in an anechoic chamber but it might be interesting to hear in other than a nearfield set up what all of the subtle detail sounds like without interference from all of the reflections which would mask them, especially the h... | |
