| 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... | |
| Looking for Teknasonic Vibration Absorber Well this is ironic. I had a bunch of those that I’d kept since the 90s. At least at the time I thought they made an agreeable difference when placed on my speakers. I’d stored them for so many years wondering if I’d ever use them again but I... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? audiokinesis,3. There can be either too much or too little energy in the reverberant field. Too much and clarity and imaging are degraded; too little and timbre is degraded.I’m sure it depend on how much you mean by "too much" in each case, but ge... | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Would have included the Paradigm Persona's as well. | |
| High order crossovers trelja,I don’t buy your thesis; audiokinesis’ view seems more reasonable.I’ve owned a great many speakers (not to mention, like most here, I’ve heard countless speakers I don’t own). My Thiel 2.7s are in fact notable for their dynamic sense of liv... | |
| High order crossovers I’ve owned phase/time coherent speakers from Quad (ESL 63), Meadowlark, and Thiel (CS6, CS3.7 and CS2.7), and a lot of other designs using higher order crossovers.I still have no idea if there is something audibly different and inherent to a first... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging fsonicsmith,I know Shakey Graves. (Not exactly a fan, but he got on my radar due to some recommendation).As I've mentioned, I found the 0/96 and 0/93 imaging pretty good, even if not pin-point. I also really got yet another reminder of the impo... | |
| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected Makes sense.I have a thick shag rug (yeah baby!) covering my whole listening floor. No equipment between the speakers not only because the ergonomics wouldn't work in my room, but because I don't like to stare at equipment between speakers. I li... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging tangramca,What exactly did you not like about the imaging on the Devore speakers?I've auditioned them and found the imaging surprisingly good. Depth maybe a bit foreshortened though. |
