| Daedalus Audio Vs. Kef I'm also interested in Daedalus, primarily because of reviews indicating that they produce the open, uncompressed type of sound I'm looking for. I think that "connection" to music is to a large extent dependent on the ability of speakers to produc... | |
| Beatles Tribute Tv special.... OMG, I thought the John Legend/Alicia Keys performance was one of the best live performances I've ever heard! I also am impressed with how good McCartney still really is. Yes, his voice can get a bit warbly at times, but he's right on the notes. | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Kiddman wrote:"Remember that in real life the SPL of individual drums being hit reasonably hard (slam would imply more than soft gentle drumwork) is going to be over 100db. Well over. Most speakers simply don't have the ability to convey music tha... | |
| From small speakers to floorstanding Yeah, that is a pretty big room, and the 5T is a pretty small speaker for a room that size. Also, I'm not sure how far from the speakers you sit, but with only an 8 foot ceiling, there is ample opportunity for a lot of reflections from the ceiling... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? @ Genjamon,Thanks for the informative reply! While I have no doubt that your points about certain aspects of electronics are factors in production of "slam", I must note that some of the demos where I have heard and felt "slam" have been at very m... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? @ Mapman,Thanks much for the thoughts. Just for grins, could you name a starting point in the way of a class D amp? It would be interesting to compare a state of the art class D amp to my McCormack DNA-1 rev. A. And even if I were to find an incre... | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Thanks much for all the replies. I'd like to ask if you think my McCormack DNA-1 has the cojones to produce slam with reasonably efficient speakers? I think it is rated at 150 watts/channel into 8 ohms, and 300 watts into 4 ohms. My speakers are t... | |
| Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do. I second the motion for War of the Worlds(awesome bass, alien sirens) and Master and Commander(cannon shots). | |
| Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables Well, I have been using a set of Morrow SP2 for a couple years, and Paul sent me a set of Clear Day for comparison. There is no question, the Clear Day are better, i.e., more open, detailed, dynamic. I do understand that the SP2 is on the low end ... | |
| Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Needs some speakers What will be your mix of home theater/music? If your top priority is two channel music quality, you might want to consider a used McCormack power amp, possibly a DNA 1. Rated at 150wpc into 8ohms, but delivers a lot of current. I believe is also g... | |
| which floor speaker up to 1500.00 At ~$1500, you should at least take listen to Monitor Audio RX6 or RX8. Hard to beat them for overall sound quality for a small floorstander. The nice thing about them is that the conventional wisdom about small, inexpensive towers not imaging wel... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , I don't know how much differences there are between different interconnects specifically in "dynamics and bass slam", but I agree with the High Fidelity CT-1 recommendation. I don't understand how these work, but boy, do they. The clarity, sound s... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables @ ArnettpartnersI am using a set of Morrow SP2 for the high frequency run of my bi-wire setup. Make sure and order them "nude" and when you connect them, make sure to have as much of the cable in contact with the binding posts on the amp and speak... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables @ Mihaitaa, how are these JW Audio speaker cables different from Anti-cables? They look to be the same basic design to me. | |
| Bi-wiring with different cables for HF and LF? Isochronism, I contacted Joe, and it looks like it will be ~$900 for a single run set of his silver cables. Will have to think on that. |
