| To horn or not to horn @needlebrush -- I have never owned a horn speaker. I’m curious if there are any who are first time horn speaker owners after having owned other types of speakers for many years, and are you glad you switched?My switch was gradual, from Direct Radi... | |
| The bass is the place... @daveyf -- Seems like that most speaker manufacturer’s are able to deliver a speaker that can, and mostly does, a reasonable job in the highs and the mids, BUT the bass is where so many fall down! This is also what most manufacturers ask big mone... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @noble100 -- Hello phusis, Thanks for your detailed response. I now have a much better understanding of your system preferences, priorities and goals. I looked at your system pic and description on your profile page and admire the unique and indep... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @noble100 -- I think our disagreements and differences expressed on this thread can be boiled down to a difference in preferences and priorities. I could go into detail but I believe it basically comes down to both of your top priorities seeming ... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @jwmorris -- As enthusiast enamored with our equipment, in our room, in our opinion we have to be careful not to be closed minded. I do not believe most enthusiast start with a great system. Great systems usually evolve over time. Most enthusiast... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @millercarbon -- Oh, he’s right all right. You simply disagree. That doesn’t make him wrong. In this case it makes you wrong.Let's hone in and focus on what's addressed here with a few excerpts of noble100's: ... your apparent endorsement of emp... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Tim -- I had stated: "I’m fairly certain that 4K Ultra HD Bluray discs and streaming videos don’t contain any audio content below 20 Hz. " I believe my statement is generally correct ..No, you are generally wrong in this specific instance. Why do... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? Tim --...I’m fairly certain that 4K Ultra HD Bluray discs and streaming videos don’t contain any audio content below 20 Hz. I’m virtually 100% certain that no commercially available stereo music content, whether issued on LP, CD, SACD or Hi-Res di... | |
| Are you a Subwoofer abuser? @luxmancl38 -- The subwoofer can be fantastic or a monster. In my case I use my sub very conservatively. I don’t want to ruin the mid’s and top end w/to much bass. However I found a certain segment feels the bottom is the most important part of th... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? @smodtactical -- Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?Unequivocally, yes. In fact, when practically feasible and without obstructing acoustics (and I’d go to great lengths to challenge named obstacles here), I’d much rather go with 2 big ... | |
| JL Gotham F212 v2 vs ? @chazzzy007 -- It’s not just about smoothing out modes. Its about recreating the subtle spacial textures in greater detail. [...]We certainly agree here, but I’d add smoothing out room modes could aid what you point out. Below the Schroeder freque... | |
| Belles research? @gryphongryph http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/measurements/amplifiers/belles_sa30/ | |
| JL Gotham F212 v2 vs ? @smodtactical --This is a pricey but seems to be a high quality well made sub. This is for a future listening space that would be 20x30. For some real power but control is there any other subs to consider at that price point or lower? For my money... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers @atmasphere --Just to be clear, nowhere did I state thatWhat’s more, "flabby" and "slow" bass as an antithesis to "tight" is hardly a compelling trait as something associated with natural bass. Correct. I read your remark in reply to @chilli42's ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers @mahlman -- You touch on something rarely mentioned I fully agree with. Pro gear just has much more headroom and effortless superb output. All I would consider for my own use is now Klipsch pro gear starting with at least a KI-904 or better or old... |
