| Best Remaster CD of Holy Diver? It's all over "The 'Bay", so to call it. I paid $15.99 including shipping for it new. It is the CD that, if new, has a large red sticker on the front detailing the booklet, remaster, audio interview, etc. It is not at all rare.The mix is MUCH b... | |
| Best Remaster CD of Holy Diver? Got it!If anyone is still paying attn., the 2005 remaster, the one with the 16 page booklet and an audio interview with RJD is amazing. All of that nasty compression is gone, and the EQ is excellent. The credits say the digital remaster was done... | |
| Best Remaster CD of Holy Diver? Your '85 version would be the first or second CD pressing, but the original mix. OGOgre | |
| Best Remaster CD of Holy Diver? I meant 2013 version. Presumably by 2103 music will be downloaded directed into cerebral cortex a la Johnny Mnemonic, LOL.I saw RJD on twice on the Heaven and Hell tour in '80 or so and then again on the Holy Diver tour in '83 or '84 (when I watc... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? Steakster,I have somewhat mixed feelings about the OHMs for one reason (coming below). First the good, however. They really do provide a huge soundstage, wide and deep. Pinpoint imaging? Not like a high-end small stand mounted monitor or qualit... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? SUCCESS! (Well, close enough for what I want in that room for my claiming success.)My co-worker who had specific advice (see above) came over and hooked up some DIY speakers he finished last weekend. First, this is with my M&K subwoofer with... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? dave_b, I have read that was the case, that the Pro Series were black. Thing is, they were sealed in the original crate/box, with all of the original styro packing stuff, and the box has "SCT+" all over it both in graphics and in a couple places ... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? Well, my new speakers arrived. They are new in the box 30 year old Ohm Acoustics Sound Cylinder SCT (T for tall) Plus, Series 2, in solid black, 42 inches tall. They each look like Kubrick's Great Black Monolith, only cylindrical. And yes, like... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? The suggestions that mention speakers that are dipole or omni-pole in dispersion prompted me to purchase a pair of the smaller Ohm Walsh type speakers. They didn't cost much, and if they sound as good as a lot of folks report, they will find some... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? FWIW, I did not mean to suggest that I am on a very small budget, just that I would prefer cheaper over pricier. While Decware and MBL are out of the question, a pair of Vandersteens are a possibility, and they get mentioned a lot. There is a V... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? Well, my wife rejected the idea of deadening the room, although we do have drapes and carpet already. The Eminent Technology smaller models and the Omega Audio speakers look intriguing.As for budget, I don't have an endless budget, but I would of... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? We used to live in a small house that was mostly one big room with a high ceiling. Now we live in a bigger house overall for kids visiting, etc., but the rooms are smaller, especially where we sit and read, listen to music, etc. Too small for... | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? Thanks to those who've so far responded. I've had a feeling that the magic formula might involve time-coherence and / or apart-from-the-usual crossovers. Regarding the former, I've thought about rebuilt Dahlquist DQ-10s. For the latter I've con... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? My problem with spending that much for speakers is that speakers that cost that much would likely require a room in a house that would 100 times what the speakers cost. Give me Magneplanar Tympani 4s in a 900 square foot room with ceilings that a... |
