| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? I am a major audio enthusiast and I was listening to some live, non amplified acoustic jazz and I could not help but wonder what speaker sounds that "live"?... Going by the context you’re outlining here I’d say the most live-like or "real sound" a... | |
| Warm-up time. Everything needs a warm up: Speaker surrounds, phono cartridges, amps, preamps. Every dang thing! Enter your text ...The warm-up time of speakers (apart from the run-in time) is rarely mentioned, so nice to see it noticed here. I would say it’s eq... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener i don’t imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music [than classical], but I may be wrong.Indeed, I believe this rests on a misconception, albeit an understandable one; power and "exa... | |
| JL Audio F110 Vs F112 In my listening room of a little over 13’ x 16’ I find a single SVS SB16-Ultra to blend in very well. I’ve placed it off-center to the right between my two main speakers, and has spent some time aligning it fore/aft to make for the best timing int... | |
| Quad ESL 63- how should it sound? Comparing Quad ESL63 to Klipsch is like comparing very good low wattage Class-A hi-end audio amp to a mega watt P.A amp. Yet as a pairing a low wattage Class-A amplifier calls for high efficiency speakers like Klipsch’s Heritage line, wheres the ... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? puffbojie --I’m inclined to reiterate: where does your favoritism for Class A designs come from - is it first hand experience with particular pure(?) Class A amplifiers, or is it more like the mere thought of what Class A is said to represent a la... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? puffbojie --What’s the reason for your inkling towards class A amplifiers? I’m not trying to discourage you, but going for a pure class A amp (i.e.: which rules out high bias or class A to A/B shift designs) - with the potential and worthwhile son... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! It would seem many here hold their own share of beliefs and agendas either in favor of or against Class-D for a variety of reasons - certainly predictable and all too common to have some sort of investment in a particular design principle, sometim... | |
| David Belles / Power Modules Inc. JohnnyR -- A reply to my comment above? | |
| David Belles / Power Modules Inc. Check out the New Belles SA 100audioconnection --Is there a "new" SA-100 having just surfaced, or are you simply referring to the SA-100 that’s been on the market for almost 4 years now?Using the class-A version myself, the SA-30 - a wonderful pow... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. From what I can assess very expensive drive units aren't necessarily more than that: very expensive. I'm not saying they're incapable, but quality drivers can be made for much less (why then spend more?), and implementation is key. It seems to me ... | |
| LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound abnerjack --The potential of the LaScala’s is relative to a combination of factors which may deter somewhat from your present situation. A significant impact is your first listen which, as you already proposed, would take place in different surrou... | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps There is absolutely no reason why running without input signal would be bad for any class D amp. This strange advice was given by NuForce technician? Are they still in business?I believe the above rests on a misconception; it is advised by NuFor... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? The thing about the waves off the back of the driver is that they have an output that is equal to the output into your room. The usual way to deal with that is add MDF bracing upon bracing which adds weight and more weight which lowers the reson... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Vivid Audio has shaped their drivers which is perhaps more important then shaping the cabinets. The drivers are designed to allow the back waves to flow more freely past the magnet and spider towards the dampening. Looking at most drivers even on ... |
