| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? This is sounding like yet another “baiting” thread. Maybe this forum section should be renamed :-)inna could you you be more specific please? I think helomech has interpreted your OP as dissing people who think they have “golden ears” where I inte... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? Great stuff. What a list of speakers!Your quest sounds like my quest that I've written about in my own thread. I sometimes go through obsessively exhaustive searches when I'm going to replace a pair of speakers. Looking forward to hearing about... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? twoleftears,Agreed.That quality of differentiating timbre as you describe it is something I really value in a speaker.I think mono recordings can really be a test of timbre differentiation in that regard, because in a mono recording, say of a jazz... | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? Yes ghosthouse, the spirit of your reply was obvious. Glad I could help introducing some more nuttiness in to your music search.nicotico,I have liquid sunshine (only available on CD I believe), though haven't bought Time To Fly...yet. I'm more ... | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? Thanks ghosthouse.I feel....better? | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? Looks like I'm alone in my looniness. :( | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? twoleftears,It makes total sense to point out the liabilities of any design choice, of course. The proof is always how a designer manages those liabilities and to what degree the listener perceives the pluses and minuses of the results. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Total agreement. 6 inch woofer is simply too big for the mid range. B&W and countless other speakers never sound completely natural for this very reason. To sound natural a speaker must have wide consistent dispersion across the full frequency... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? audiokinesis,I don't know what speaker you are describing in your last response to me. The Waveform monitor has a 5" woofer - both it and the Mach Solo measured quite well. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? audiokinesis,Yes I'm aware of the effects of off-axis response. I've had quite a number of speakers with good, even off-axis response (I tend to favour them). For reference, among the speakers I still currently own are the MBL 121 omni-direction... | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? I don't know if we can post youtube links, but if you google these you can get an idea of one flavour found in these library recordings:Alan Hawkshaw - Fuel Injection - Bruton Music LibraryBeach Journey - Alan HawkshawFor old school keyboard fans,... | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? Glad to see someone finds it an interesting topic.Here's a site with a whole bunch of Bruton Music covers. You can see how the designers had to work within the somewhat idiosyncratic "block of cubes" graphic designer signature of the company. I ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I auditioned the Audio Note AN-E's and the Devore 0/93 and 0/96, and I preferred both Devores to the Audio Note. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? audiokinesis,Ok.Though I still find it interesting that my experience, at least with regular speakers (as opposed to a multiple array as you described) lead me to apparently the opposite conclusion. I've never heard more room sound contribute to ... | |
| Floor-Standards to Monitors? I've had many floor standing speakers and monitors (and still do have both). I always gravitate back to floor standing speakers as more satisfying, both for the fullness in frequency range, and for the size of the sound and the effortless quality... |
