| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k @arcticdeth -- Those “hifi” ATC speakers are some of the very best you can buy.he prices are astronomical, but if you say you have 70K to dump, he’ll, that is what I would get. ...ATC speakers, not least their active versions, are actually very ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k @mofojo -- Add Bose to the list. They are suweeet. Bose - the finger of Satan dipped in holy (audiophile) water, of something like that. Their Blueetooth iterations may make for a good bathroom background music choice, while contemplating the s... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k @emerald --I would go a bit differently here than the direction I assume you’d prefer; if "workman" or industrial looks doesn’t bother you too much, and you can rid (that is: relieve) yourself of any want to "experiment" ad nauseam with amps and e... | |
| Pro Audio Technology speakers @txavguy --... Interesting, several systems that have been recommended to me seem to come with concerns about brightness/harsh treble. Aaand it's a common misconception not only on this forum but audiophilia in general - this notion that speakers... | |
| Pro Audio Technology speakers @txavgut -- The system will be used 50/50 for movies and music. [...] the subs (LFC-15sm) don’t seem especially impressive, claiming response only down to 20Hz. But I realize specs aren’t everything. If used 50/50 for movies and music a 20Hz hard ... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO @ozzy62 -- I think it’s cute you guys think this is a serious thread…….. Elements of it is. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO @ozzy62 -- And there it is………[chuckles] :) | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @lonemountain -- This efficiency issue is one "spec" out of many that a designer must balance. All these performance parameters are evidence of the enormous number of trade offs in creating a complete driver/box/electronics design. So designers m... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO @jeffvegas --I'd rid myself of brand-focus and gadgetry and go with the DIY-advice of poster @mijostyn above. Let physics have their say, and when you buy separate components (certainly electronics) reliability usually sees a clear boost. Cheaper ... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? Thanks for linked article, @alexberger. In real-world scenarios with mostly passively configured, inefficient speakers - certainly approaching to some extent live acoustic (or amplified) levels - Thermal Distortion is an inescapable factor. @lonem... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @atmasphere -- Al was a really nice guy. I miss having him here. Indeed - a very knowledgeable guy, well-spoken and always with a balanced and to-the-point approach. .. A 'high sensitivity speaker' is really going to be more like 96dB at the low... | |
| Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them? @gdnrbob Seeing Almarg's post at the front of this thread brings back fond memories. I hope heaven has a great sound system for him to listen to.Bob I wasn't aware of poster @almarg having passed. Sorry to learn of this. | |
| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? If not the DD67000's - which are really rather much more sonically capable and fleshed out than their smaller siblings, incl. the M2's to my ears - I'd go with actively driven Meyer Sound pro series speakers (Acheron/Studio) and add some big, high... | |
| SET on JBL Everests - Mouse breeding an elephant? The real treat it seems would be running the DD67000’s actively - have you considered that?https://positive-feedback.com/interviews/greg-timbers-jbl/ | |
| SET on JBL Everests - Mouse breeding an elephant? Don’t know whether named amps have variable gain (or how they otherwise match here as a fixed value), but you could use the SET(‘s) for the HF/MF horns and the bridged 275’s for the 15” units? Or else I imagine a pair of stand-alone SET’s would do... |
