| Synergy Onhwy61 said it all in his first sentence. It's a matter of compatibility, not synergy. Synergy goes far beyond merely working well together. The word is misused. Oh but, it sounds really cool. | |
| What do you look for in a pair of speakers? I listen for balance, clarity and definition throughout the audible bandwidth with nothing extra, nothing missing. | |
| How important are the Speaker Cabinets? Thanks Drew. The questions here are not suited for short answers, but you've put it in a nice nutshell.It's a very complex subject. You can get a reasonably good broad based understanding if you dig for itlots of resources on the net and in the l... | |
| volume vs presence Jaffa: Did you set your SPL meter to "fast?" If so, the music you listen to is not that dynamic. 85 dB average is loud, but not BLARING. It shouldn't be causing ringing in your ears unless you're listening for hours at a time. Very dynamic music c... | |
| volume vs presence There's a lot going on here, and more than can be covered in a forum.A) Most likely, you already have hearing loss.B) You aren't getting the full dynamics and transients, because 1) They're not in the recording, especially pop music, or 2) Your sy... | |
| The Better My System Gets.... Getting old has nothing to do with it. Most rock concerts have always sounded dreadful compared to the recordings. Movie theaters have been setting volume levels for the hearing impaired since at least the early 90s. The last program I went to was... | |
| What is your favorite type of tweeter? There's something enticing about ribbons, as long as they aren't pushed below about 3-5 kHz, or too long, or too wide, or too delicate. (Would love to hear a plasma tweeter.)All things considered, it's hard to beat a well made soft dome. They migh... | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Most full range speakers, especially in the under 5k price range, are not truly full range. I would suggest, for many reasons, that monitor and sub (preferably dual subs) is the way to go. It takes at lot, from both the speakers and amps, to do hi... | |
| What Color is your system If I were synesthetic, I could tell you exactly what color.If I were enamored with poetic subjectivity, I could tell you precisely what color.However, since I see the sky as orange and clouds as blue, I can't help but to hear a rainbow.(Studies on... | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? Don't even consider panelsdelicate, easy to knock over, sensitive to humidity . . .The Ohms are a good suggestion, the drivers are fairly well isolated/protected. | |
| What makes a record collection "great"? There are collections based on collectibility, and collections based on the aesthetic value. Perhaps this defines the difference between a library valued for the content (great performances, writing), and a collection valued for its rarity (a Gute... | |
| choosing a center channel Have you tried no center? None is better than a mediocre center channel speaker. Many people prefer a phantom center on movies. How many listeners/viewers do you usually have? If only 1 or 2, the phantom will work well. The main purpose of the cen... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Here's an hypothesis. The sound of acoustic instruments is nearly unknown to most people. Rarely do we ever hear instrumental music, and especially vocal music, without amplification. To make matters worse, most of the time we hear music through m... | |
| Are singers musicians? We might get around the dilemma by admitting Yoko and Rotten do NOT make music, therefore, they are NOT musicians.Vocal chords are instruments. Playing the vocal chords well takes as much skill, talent, and years of practice as any manmade instrum... | |
| Are singers musicians? That depends on your definition of musician. Loosely, anyone who makes music, vocal, percussion, or instrumental, is a musician.If you hold the term musician to a higher standard, then only someone who is musically literate and has developed both ... |
