| Sub for single-driver desktop speakers I naively thought a a sub crossover set at - say - 100 hz - meant that the sub would reproduce the sound below this point, not above it. I should have known better. The Fostex submini 2 comes with a manual with an informative graph (p 12) that sh... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? petg30 - I agree - we are going wrong, if we dont listen to great performances. cd318 - thank you - i would emphasise my point a bit more. We had cheap but adjustable stands. In another system I use solid heavy stands for the small speakers, but ... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I recently tested A) a ca 3500 usd active small speaker system at a holiday house for some weeks, compared to B) my main system at home with amps and floorstanding speakers, costing a lot more. B sounds much better. But I knew this from before, so... | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind Thanks, twoleftears. Noted. Not always easy to see what is what. | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind Thanks ozzy62. Just felt the need to say. Audiogon is about people who actually listen, and test - I hope. | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind "I smell a rat" what thats to mean? We are idiots, finding some good qualities with the speakers? I actually tested for some weeks. I only wrote, try them on stands. I don’t like that kind of comment. You seem to devalue actual user experience, ... | |
| Comparing systems through phone recordings I am not saying it can be done. I am suggesting a method, to test it. To get a little better at it. What is the problem with that? | |
| Comparing systems through phone recordings I agree with mozartfan. The challenge is, we cannot directly hear each others systems, around the world. As consumers and audiophiles, we would be much better off it we could do this - instead of relying on second-hand writing and opinion-making. ... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? yeti42 - interesting. Never heard the TD307. Is it sealed or with a bass port (like the FR2)? I note it has a 6,5 cm diameter driver, while the FR2 has 6,9 cm. I wonder if there is some optimal size for this type of single drivers, fit for desktop... | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind I recently spent some weeks with the A5+. I agree that they are good, especially for the price - and I found that they sound much better on stands, precisely positioned. Actually it was fun how even small changes shifted the sound picture, and thi... | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Arche and Fostex:recent system | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? I am testing the Arche speakers and amp with a Fostex Submini sub, at my desktop. Works quite well, and the speakers are mellowing, less hard and sharp now. I wonder if this front-firing sub sounds best - most in line with the speakers - , if i... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Thanks for listening reports, and discussion! I will probably stick around with my NT-505 for a while, before an eventual upgrade. I still need to "get to know it" better, even after a year of use. This is so also because I mainly play music from ... | |
| Krell fpb 600 svs ultra tower And yes, the FPB600 loved a dedicated line, it got even more authoritative, deep and precise. In my 15 ampere line it never triggered the fuse - but that is in Europe, at 220-230 volts. | |
| Krell fpb 600 svs ultra tower I had a Krell FPB600 for ten years. Best sound with balanced cable to the preamp. I liked it best with a tube preamp (Aesthetix Io with volume). There is some protection circuit/jumper to protect against preamp misbehavior, I removed them, got bet... |
