| which subwofer is better? One further note on the Velo DRC software. It does not correct in the time domain, unlike the competing systems mentioned above. Some will find that a critical issue, others (like me) may find that to be of questionable importance.Marty | |
| which subwofer is better? Vic,I think my comment may have been misunderstood - perhaps it wasn't stated as clearly as it could have been. I meant to state that the Velo software is primitive in "auto mode", and I tried to emphasize that limitation on my criticism by cappin... | |
| Sunfire subs The Sunfire approach (small cabinet, big amp) is not for everyone. I can't speak to the specific model you're considering, but - in general - subs using this approach tend to produce a lot of THD at high SPL/low frequency (relative to larger cabin... | |
| under the radio early 80s new wave.... I just noticed that no-one has mentioned The Feelies. They are a very quirky NJ based band that played with the fundamental rhythmic conceits of rock n roll to produce a really personal brand of music with great urgency and momentum. The very fast... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? I'll add Audyssey XT32 (in my case via an Onkyo pre-pro). I see (hear?) why Stereophile named it a Product of the Year.Marty | |
| which subwofer is better? Avgoround wrote:I'd say 3/5ths of the performance is acoustics and setup with the sub (EQ'ing?), and the rest is design of the sub itself. That's bass for you....I'd say 80%, but that's really just me agreeing with AVgoround and adding a little ni... | |
| Defective REL G1 Subwoofers I don't know the REL G series subs and I can't speak specifically to the phase issue that you're experiencing. However, REL subs have not generally fared well on the deep bass/clean output tests that I've seen - which could explain the LFE bottomi... | |
| Table radio options for kids room I have a Tivoli in my bedroom and a NAD (I wanna say C15, IIRC) CD/Tuner/Integrated Amp in a guest room that I sometimes work in. The Tivoli looks great and sounds pretty decent for a table radio. The NAD looks, well...... not as great, but sounds... | |
| First home theater. HELP Oops....I don't think Marantz offers XT32 - only the lower end versions of Audyssey. My bad. BTW, XT32 is available in AVRs from the same group listed above, except Marantz.Marty | |
| First home theater. HELP I have no illusions about getting sound that comes anywhere near SOTA, but would like to enhance movie viewing, and retain the sound of the existing second system for music listening. I welcome any thoughts/suggestions re processor, speakers, set-... | |
| integrated help please Depends on the system you're using. The Ayre mentioned above and the Bel Canto are both good choices for a more traditional 'phile set-up.However, the Harman Kardon HK 990 offers not only an internal DAC, but also room correction and a digital dom... | |
| Marantz SR6006 HDMI out to TV problem. Same problem with sockets and plugs. If you have more than one input on the tv, try a different one. also try a different HDMI out on the AVR | |
| Dylan's Voice/ Better Now? You've set the bar awfully low (the old Dylan vocals) for the more recent Dylan vocals.This thread made me chuckle. Too many years ago, I had a college music professor who refused to call Dylan's craft "singing", instead referring to it as "some s... | |
| Piano Notes On Harbeth SHL 5 Interesting observation. I agree that recorded piano tone can often be bothersome, but "thick" isn't a descritpive that I'd ever be inclined to use for any reproduction of piano. So, it's hard for me to comment on the Harbeth from your description... | |
| Onyko TX-NR809 I like the Onkyo electronics quite a lot. If you can get a similarly attractive deal on it, you might want to step up two notches in the Onkyo line to the 3009. You'll pick up Audyssey XT32 pro which IMHO is pretty damn fantastic. I believe that i... |
