| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Nationality is always an issue, listen to any Dane but don't ask them. Listen to Americans too.Perhaps territoriality is a more fitting term..Even if it is a dogma, it can still be a correct statement.It can, yes, but do you consider that to be a ... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?I once owned a pair of S.P. Technology Timepiece 3.0’s - lovely speakers. It featured a low fs 8" Seas woofer/mid and a 8-10" waveguide loaded 1" tweeter from SB ac... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? That's probably the reason why he put class A Gryphon older reference amp in there - to make digital sound a little nicer. When he puts real analogue source and either full Chord or full Gryphon electronics chain, then I will listen to that system... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? johnk, Why do you have trouble understanding that 30s speakers may perform as well or better than current speakers FOR YOU and your listening preferences, but others find that much progress has been made since then and prefer current speakers. I’d... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? What a waist. Listening to a great pair of speakers with cd player instead of turntable or reel to reel deck. At the very least they could’ve done full Gryphon electronics, why Chord and Gryphon in one chain?inna --Waste is not a thought that occu... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? So much for using moon travel as an analogy :) Sorry if it caused a derailment of the thread..Well, on sound quality, I guess we'll have to disagree and leave it at that. I intend to look for better sound in new products and I hope that someday y... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? tomcy6 --Thanks for your reply.As 213runnin pointed out, we could go back to the moon today but we couldn’t do most of what’s being done today in the 60s. Go to Space.com or the Hubble Telescope website to see some awe inspiring pictures. People w... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Well, space travel is irrelevant, but since it was brought up…Perhaps you didn't notice me referring to it as an analogy.. | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? tomcy6 --I think that we could send people to the moon more safely and comfortably and be able to gather much more useful data now than we could in the 60s.Whether we could is not the issue. The point is we still haven't, and that they got to the ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Technology has advanced to such an extent that the '30's can realistically be seen as the cave man days, in many respects. Certainly with computer testing and engineering, what can be purchased today for say a week's wages versus the 1930's would... | |
| JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo tmare --Sorry if I rambled on a bit in above reply to you. I was trying to come about how the sonic "paradigm" or overall preference of review magazines/sites (especially Stereophile) seems not to favor the sound represented by speakers such as th... | |
| JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo [...]About a year ago, I went to an audio show with my slightly more educated ears, and tried to listen to carefully each speakers at the show. The best sounding speakers to me was JBL (I think it was DD67000) and ATC. They seem to be much better ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I think Atmasphere has pretty much nailed it down and ended the discussion...NEXT! missioncoonery --Poster atmasphere didn’t entirely nail nor end anything (though I very much appreciate his contributions). Carry on elsewhere at your own pleasure. | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? (johnk)"Mapman whats missing- realistic sound quality, the ability to allow listener to feel the emotion of the music. The ability to easily hear the mix ie pick out the individual instruments and vocals along with the added studio work. Realisti... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? Innovation in any field addresses the changing needs or wants of the times.I like quality old stuff as much as the next guy but there are good reasons why things are the way they are. Lack of innovation is not one of them.Any "good reasons" may no... |
