| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? As requested, these are just speakers that lived in my home. I've plenty of opinions on metal domed and diamond tweeters as well as horns in general (and that's ignoring brands that never did it for me).Genesis II+ (1978, not the known Genesis co... | |
| Schumann Resonator I sleep like a rock (my wife doesn't and hates me for it :-)I want those darn things for my stereo first!Better sleepy-time for my spouse would be a nice bonus. (Just don't make me choose one benefit!) | |
| Music to take to an audition Rebecca Pidgeon, Rose in Spanish Harlem (from The Raven)Diana Krall, Errand Girl For Rhythm (from All For You)Pat Methany, Into the Dream (from Imaginary Day)Chet Atkins/Mark Knopfler, Poor Boy Blues (off Neck and Neck)These are a few of the selec... | |
| Schumann Resonator Very good to hear, dhite. Mine will take longer to arrive but I'm never in a hurry. If they improve sleep or audio, it's a win. If not, so what; nothing lost that mattered. I'm smiling at your GSR reference. First new car was '87 Int.LX and I kep... | |
| The Tweak from Heaven...or Hell? I'd agree with MC that the BBE unit certainly is a component if in the signal path. But as a non-necessary device I guess it could be viewed as a 'tweak'. I've not heard tweak defined to ignore certain things.I have a lot of respect for John Atkin... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Absolute Sound versus Pleasing Sound? I agree with these two comments most of all: ‘psychranger’ “…get equipment that you know does a great job producing clarity, detail, and completeness, then just pick out the flavor that pleases you the... | |
| Schumann Resonator millercarbon- Thank you for going through your observations upon acquiring the initial units and the following ones. Had I decided to invest a lot more money I'd have read a lot more literature first, but $15/45....I don't get headaches so expec... | |
| Schumann Resonator For me it was easy math. Too many folks have reported audible musical and/or sleep enhancements to discount them all as quacks. I ignore most of the more idiotic tweaks and snake oil products sold in the audio domain. And most of those are a bit m... | |
| Schumann Resonator I bit. Four cheap ones are coming to try. If they fail in audio but make my wife sleep better it's still a win. I have a high confidence level though, based only on those who have actually heard them in use. $45 del'd/4 so no worries on my end... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? I bit. Four cheap ones are coming to try out and if they fail in audio but make my wife sleep better it's still a win. I have a high confidence level though, based only on those who have actually heard them in use. Perhaps the $45 total delivered ... | |
| Can a $750 system sound good? nice sales pitch... | |
| Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers? Even with speakers I believe to be grossly unrealistic sounding I still think there was some well-meaning designer who had some type of sound in mind. Not all of us gauge accuracy the same, or as important.I want accuracy and detail, but if it has... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? quote: It's my experience that a wide sweet spot never elicits comments like "Joe Pass is sitting RIGHT THERE!" Love it. +1 | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? As always, this is entertaining (thanks, Erik), and merely mildly provocative. I am starting to wonder if a whole-house Sonus system might satisfy some better? <grin> When I listen to two channel music it is for pleasure and I am not walking... | |
| Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time? Rather fun to read all the differing viewpoints. I'll admit to stacking some cheap junk in college before my first real stereo. But ever since I have only used one (hopefully well-designed) pair at a time. I think a single high-end pair achieves t... |
