| Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound... If it is hard clean sound you want, then I would definitely go with the switch powered class D amps. Like There isn't anything cold about toroidal powered amps, they are just clean and natural. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Great one Dave. Getting off topic again with real versus canned, I have to rejoin. I have attended orchestral performances from coast to coast. I sat in a Carnegie Hall balcony with Henry Ho, builder of my amps. Yet, I can still be brought to tear... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I have a friend who has subwoofers mated to ribbon speakers in a small, very irregular room. He uses TacT, where he can read all the frequency curves reaching the single seat sweet spot. There were big dips in the upper bass area. By some repositi... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Hi Boa, how are you doing? You have a phone message.There are no two piano makes that sound the same either. I have no idea what transposes in the studio, when I listen to a cut. There are recordings that are pretty darn good. I just have to be fo... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Newbee, In the distance was all any amp could do in the 80s. The point is, the instant visualization was for a person playing a grand, although at some distance. I hear you on the, "Lot of 'vibrations' going on with a live piano." That is the magi... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Newbee, Don't be so sure. I have both. It was an Apogee Scintilla in a large stiff listening room that fooled me into believing I was listening to a pianist playing a grand. It did appear to be somewhere in the distance, as down the hall. I was aw... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? My experience with with sub 30 Hz in music is limited to just two audio systems, and our piano. When my wife is pounding out Grieg there is a lot more surfaces involved than the vibration of coiled wires. I have a friend who is a conductor. I help... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Mdhoover has a valid point. Your speaker is no good if it can do 20hZ whilst sounding terrible. There are lots of speakers that measure flat from where to where, all the while sounding dull, and lifeless.Bartokfan, you touched on the same subject ... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Similar to Tvad, my speakers flat line through 20 Hz. However there may be room interactions that can immoderate the measurement. No one has commented on the 27.5 Hz A0 piano key. I say one can't bring the piano into the room unless your speaker c... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Bartokfan, there are a four Scintilla reviews to choose from. They all contain the same praise. Believe it, or not, it's factual. Apogees unfailingly took, "Best of show," at Audio shows. Apogee was chosen to flank Mozart's piano at the Smithsonia... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I question the validity of supertweeters. If your speaker is a good one, and flat lines up to at least 20 Khz, then, it seems to me, in the audible range, the supertweeeter is merely doubling the speaker's high frequency output. These ultra high f... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Bartokfan, any speaker that can fulfill the music demands of the genre you like is full range. Still, there is something hair raising about 18 - 29 Hz, If the room is accommodating. There is a surprising amount of music that dips way down, like La... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Maybe it's because I grew up attending a Catholic cathedral on Sundays. The organ play made it all worthwhile. I loved both the huge bass pipes to the ethereal strings. Away from church, for twisted fun, I tortured the neighbors Shitsuitsu with a ... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Ultra-low frequencies have the power to shake the walls, and physically pressurize the room. It adds to the visceral experience of say, a really big diameter pipe. High frequencies do none of this. Their reported presence in an audio system just f... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? The Apogee Scintilla does 20Hz to 20Khz. There must be others. |
