| Your favorite classical/flamengo guitar CDs Strictly speaking it's not flamenco, but Ojos de Brujo have two excellent albums. | |
| How to make sound less detailed with warmth? I can't believe Ryder is the only one to mention room acoustic/setup issues. 80% of the sound you hear is the result of the interaction between the loudspeaker and the room. Before changing anything you need to consider these issues. | |
| Dampers: Small Tube Big Tube? I assume Pubul57 means the electrons are larger at the output tube stage! | |
| Beolab 5 - Four Questionable Technologies Hdomke, I've been reading and posting these forums for a number of years and I've come to the conclusion that for many audiophiles swapping equipment frequently is normal and expected behavior. They think of it in terms of "upgrading", but to a la... | |
| Beolab 5 - Four Questionable Technologies B&O is not an audiophile directed product. It's a high end lifestyle product. It's aimed at a person who wants high quality sound, great looks and ease of operation and setup. I suspect that the typical B&O buyer enjoys music just as much ... | |
| real horns or horn loaded what's the diff? Although some may disagree I believe both Altecs and Klipschs both liike more than a little bit of power. Their crossover designs are not the easiest of loads. | |
| Why Do Audio Engineers Use Different Speakers? The same reason nobody drives an F1 car down the interstate. For the engineer the speaker is a precision tool used to to manufacture a product. Unike the audiophile listening pleasure does not enter into the equation. | |
| Mcintosh 6900/Klipsh Cornwall III - a good match? You seem determined to place a full range, high volume speaker in a smallest square dimensioned room. It's a combination that will not mesh very well. | |
| An Audiophile Goal Walker very clearly meant that for every individual recording there is one optimal playback level. It a factor of the instruments used, the distance from the instruments to the microphone(s), and the acoustic sizes of the recording venue and playb... | |
| Question re input Sensitivity and 110 db speakers Tarsando, why won't an attenuator help? Please explain.As far as an attenuator taking away from the precious signal, some designs place nothing more than a resistor in the signal path. We're all in trouble if a single well chosen resistor can make... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors I have had a total of 33 pair of speakersI've owned at least 15 pairs of speakers over the last 20 yearsI assume people who make statements like this are trying to establish a certain degree of credibility. That said, would you go with your spouse... | |
| Question re input Sensitivity and 110 db speakers Try it and see if it works to your liking. From the specs you've provided you can't really judge the usefullness of the volume control. If it does turn out to be too sensitive it can be easily remedied via an in-line attenuator (Rothwell, Endler, ... | |
| Recommend a forward speaker i've also been listening to a lot of different cds, and the recordings really vary alot in how they present the soundstageIsn't that what an audiophile quality system supposed to do? Are you trying to make records that sound one way sound a differ... | |
| USB Ext Sound Card Vs. Squeebox The difference you hear has little to do with the different technologies. It's the implementation of the technology that makes the difference. By itself the Squeezbox is good to very good, but it has clearly defined (and well documented) shortcomi... | |
| Recommend a forward speaker Before doing anything drastic you might want to experiment along a different path. Try a professional quality EQ unit and liberally experiment with relatively small boosts in the midrange frequencies and/or cuts in the upper midrange. You could st... |
