| Dynaudio Anniversary 25 Jake, it can be difficult to make the right choice when the salesman is biased. As you said, they will be loyal to their own brands. My advice would be to listen to a number of speakers on your own, and purchase from a hi end store. They will usua... | |
| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. try listening to music in mono. good imaging is in the mix done at the studio, if it wasn't in the recording it won't be in the speakers, cd player or amp no matter how much money you spend. | |
| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box what are you using as for an amp? The 3.3's will sound huge when you throw enough power at them. | |
| 5.1 vs 3 channel??? turn down the rear speakers to a level so that they are only noticed when they are off as opposed to when they are on, much like a subwoofer. otherwise the soundfeild will have a rearward bias. you'll know when you have it right because the soundf... | |
| Dynaudio Contours with Conrad Johnson 2500a I've always thought Conrad Johnson was better known for their tube gear rather then solid state. Dynaudio's love juice, especially if you have a large room. Look into big amps by Classe, Krell and Pass Labs. I would snag that Classe Ca-300 on this... | |
| Is 5.1 Really This Bad? Bomarc, i think your negative experience has more to do with the fact that you probably invested alot of time and money into a fine sounding 2channel system and feel threatend by a 'low-end' (i hate that term) multi channel setup that had certain ... | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted If those are dynaudio drivers you can read off the numbers and they can send you a matched replacement, without having to get a pair. On the other hand, if the damage is due to age the other will probably go soon anyway. | |
| Sunfire Signature/SVS Subs and integration If you can stand the way they look the SVS subs are probably the best buy in bass. If looks are a concern then sunfire is the way to go, you can't complain if you can't see it. For me, even though a svs ultra might be a better sub, but it's not wo... | |
| An odd idea Unless you feel your system is lacking in dynamics or sounds like it's straining at your listening levels, you might not want to replace the amp just yet. There are a bunch of tweeks you can to to the typical H/T setup to improve performance. The ... | |
| Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening If I were you I would look into the B&K av5000. It's a sweet 5ch amp that should mate well with your B&W speakers, and when you are ready, you can upgrade to a stand alone preamp. I saw one on this sight for 600 used. Spending 1200 on a 2c... | |
| How Important is the receiver vs separates in HT? Lexicon's Logic 7 does not use 7 discrete channels, rather it takes a 2 channel source and mixes to create 7, if that's what you like fine, but i'd rather use a discrete format like dolby digital-ex or dts-es. It seems like every AV preamp has its... | |
| Minimonitor Choice: Proac 1sc vs. Totem Model 1s You should check out the dynaudio contour 1.1's or the 1.3's. (the 1.3's have a fuller bass, but i only heard the 1.1's which i loved) wonderful soundstage, never bright or forward, just great music with just about everything i threw at them. Comp... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom wait a minute did you say 25k in gear? what kind of system do you have? there is noo way you can have bad bass in that neighborhood, well maybe if you lived in yellowstone. Anyway I'm 26 also, i use dynaudio contour speakers and have a harmon/kard... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom Hmmm i don't think you'll need an icbm, your preamp seems to have the right features. That whack in the chest feeling you are looking for occurs in the 70-80hz area. Real bass below 30 is felt in the bones more then it is heard. I'll bet your frie... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom The reason you have sloppy bass is probably the fact that you have so many different drivers trying to move air at low frequencies. When it comes to tight bass less is sometimes more. The less things you ask of each component, the better they can ... |
