Bandoneon... A quick glance at Wikipedia offers little to no help. There seems to be endless variations on the design of these instruments - as near as I can tell from the entry there. | |
Bandoneon... Re: Piazzolla,That may be true, but I'm pretty sure that some Bandoleon/Concertina designs sound different pitches for the same fingering on expansion vs contraction. If a given bandoleon works that way, the player may desire to sound only on expa... | |
Bandoneon... Marakanetz,I vaguely recall tinkering with a bandoneon many (too many to think about) years ago. I'm nearly 100% sure that it sounded on both compression and expansion. It may well be that there are variants that work differently, but the one I ha... | |
Best inexpensive sub for Maggie MMG's ? John,Not sure what you intended to say, but ...I'll stand by my main point - precise level matching and smooth FR around the x-over frequency are critical to matching panels (or other speakers, for that matter) with subs and - IME - that's most ea... | |
When was the last time you listened to live music? I play an acoustic guitar daily. Both my wife and my 6 yr old daughter play our piano daily. Does that count? | |
Best inexpensive sub for Maggie MMG's ? IME, the issue w/MMGs and subs is optimizing the integration of the subs and the panels. It's tricky and IMHO depends on the getting x-over done properly as much as choosing the particular sub.If you have an Audyssey (or equivalent) equipped pre-p... | |
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? Mitch,Without comment (one way or the other) on the sound quality of Bose products:It would seem that very wide dispersion speakers would make a ton of sense for that room - particularly for the sides, back, height, & rear positions. The 901 f... | |
More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"? Forgot to paste the Jr Gone Wild linkhttp://www.well.com/~sjroby/slw.htmlCD called Simple Little Wish | |
More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"? Per John's reference to SQ:If that's what you're after, pass on the Rundgren stuff. Not good. I assumed that you were more focused on the live/spontaneous feel of the performances.MartyPS and OT John,I got hold of 2 Cow's WAOB. Great call, thanx. ... | |
Daber 2: better speaker in the world for $1k? Timocc asked: Is there a better loudspeaker in the world for less than $1k? How about for less than $2k?I've never heard any of Daber's speakers, so I'm in no position to comment one way or the other (and no such comment is intended by this post),... | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? JWC,I can't speak to your Ohm W2s, but I can state that my 100s throw a very wide lateral stage that extends convincingly beyond the speaker position. I do agree, however, that the sense of depth starts at the plane of the speakers and goes back f... | |
More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"? It's a very different style of music, but Todd Rundgren was pretty well known for employing this approach from time to time - with varying degrees of success. I couldn't tell you every release that he took that way, but there are several that I'm ... | |
Got addicted to White Stripes. 1/2 step OT,You might check out the latest Jack White solo CD "Blunderbuss". He went back to the early Stripes sound for this one and IMHO he really nails it. Never heard any of the vinyl, though.Marty | |
What do I need to run my maggies? Subwoofer(s) would be pretty much essential for movies, too, but would blow up your budget. | |
What do I need to run my maggies? This:http://www.anthemav.com/products/anthem/a-v-receiver/mrx-700and a dvd player of your choice should do the trick at $2K.Marty |
