Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk MC-give it up, we all know you have no system to talk about and you have no ears to actually hear a good system. There are many good brands of speakers in your price range but some of them will require good quality amps to get the best sound out o... | |
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. This post should be called “most people don’t use room treatments but they should”. The room is the most important piece of the puzzle on putting together a great sounding room. Book, furniture, etc... are not replacements for a true absorption pa... | |
enough amplifier power You know who is bashing some of the best sounding speakers on the planet to go with some of the cheapest sounding speakers while indicating that there is no difference in SQ between them. Far far from reality. Unless you are talking about the old ... | |
What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? MC is very wrong again on many accounts. Headroom - this is where an amp can really shine in producing high instant peaks and crescendos. If any amp, listening amp, guitar/bass amp, pushing an amp too hard will cause distortion, clipping, or possi... | |
Speaker terminal polarity MC to the rescue again with wrong info. If you don’t know which terminals are plus and minus on the amp and you are using 2 speakers, you have a chance of reversed polarity of 1 of the speakers and this will cause a significant effect. You can’t a... | |
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Now we have a poster that thinks he is an art expert as well as an audiophile. Wrong on both accounts! I prefer some artists over others and the poster is wrong on how art is displayed. If you go into a Weinstein gallery and look at Nottebohm, Kin... | |
CD or Streaming... am I missing out? This is how I relate using streaming (either reading from a hard drive or from the internet): ‘Some people still think that using pen and paper is better than using computers.’It was proven over a dozen years ago that reading music from a hard dri... | |
Full circle and thinking about speakers Why does anybody listen or read Miller carbon’s posts and waste bits and bytes to reply. If you want cheap stuff, go the Miller way. 92db speakers? If his tektons were 85db, he would state you need 85db speakers. Get the speakers that you like, an... | |
Building a house Room is the most important piece of the audio puzzle. Go out to expert sites like Cardas, Acoustic Fields, and read Jim Smith’s get better sound book. Room dimensions are forever so get them right in the beginning.Pull multiple 20amp dedicated cir... | |
Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Why is MC calling people perverts when MC himself has no ears or a decent system that he can actually hear a difference in SQ between sources?IMO, digital has left vinyl behind years ago. With hi res, dsd, MQA, and with the newer better dacs out t... | |
What makes speaker's sound big? MC give it a break, you never even heard the op’s speakers. The OP wants to get a different speaker and yes, they will be much better than what he currently has, it won’t take much. You don’t need large drivers to get big sound. Some of the best s... | |
The indisputable benefit of fiber for music Just get an internet provider that uses fiber. I’ve been using 1G ATT fiber for years. So may benefits: 950Mb up and down speeds, quiet, low latency, cheap, and again, no noise. | |
Bookshelf speakers for small room How about: totem model 1’s, totem arro’s, usher s-520’s, usher mini-x with the DMD Diamond tweeter. | |
What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? A bunch of us tried this tweak and it worked pretty good: purchase a big container of bee bees and multiple small plastic containers that measure 2”x 2”x 2” and fill this little containers with the bee bees. I placed multiple containers on each pi... | |
Need speaker advice If you can get an an older pair of of klipsch or audio note set of speakers, you’ll be way ahead than a pair of Tektons. I don’t like the newer klipsch sound, too tipped up for my liking but the older klipsch sound very good. I have had friends wi... |
