| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin You killed all the ambience of the room. Sounds "dead" even compared to the original with no room ambience. Your clocks don’t sound "natural." Let’s compare apples to apples. Make your recordings in a 5,000 cubic foot room. My shop i... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin No, you purposely choose a speaker that sounds bad at its extremes and clean those up a bit, greatly reducing the volume in the process, and also killing it's liveliness. My system does not sound like that! It's called "setting up a st... | |

| 3-Dimensional Soundstage deep_333 @mihorn I think you may have got the "unnatural" mixed up... How the sound materializes from the instruments and are perceived by the ears thereafter (like flowers blooming and closing perhaps inside a 3D dome of space) Thank you for... | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage I’ve been enjoying the unnatural sound (just like everybody here) for 4 decades. Now I have a natural sound system and I don’t think about upgrade anymore and I am enjoying more music. It is perfectly fine you enjoy the unnatural sound (immersive... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? OP I’m noticing when I listen to the system, my tinnitus activates at a lower frequency for several hours afterwards. All speakers in the world behave like a left speaker in below video. I can’t say all tinnitus come from this reason, but my ti... | |

| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? daveyf OP I heard your system at the last THE show; let’s just say that it might behove you at the next show you attend to actually go around the various rooms and have a listen to what the other exhibitors are doing. I made some mistakes with... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin BTW, I hope that you are aware that the version of Hey 19 I recorded is from the SACD and not the red book CD so may sound a bit different just by virtue of that fact. Also, it is not just your Hey 19 recording that sounds "cupped" to m... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin I have neither of those selections, nor do I stream. I prefer classic rock, especially in SACD format. Those big speakers do well on C. Rock but delicate music. I heard JBL Everest with Luxman 300B amp from my friend 30 years ago. H... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @ toddalin I respect your opinion on the sound and skill with speaker making. I am listening. Your system sounds really good and better than many much more expensive systems I've heard. Could we compare sounds with different music such as belo... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin mihorn, To me played back on my monitor your recordings sound "cupped" with a "deadness" in the midrange and less open and airy. I am surprised you point that out. You have great ears. I agree on mid cupped or deadness in sounds. Yes.... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? toddalin mihorn, If you are posting a pic of the CD cover, I'm not so convinced that you are actually placing the mic in the sweet spot. How do we know that we are hearing the room? I know plenty of people who set up mics so many feet from ea... |
