| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? You are completely right. We are users of crazy machinery expected to generate any music on command over there, where we live. We don't want to hear any noise, nor any distortion or test tones. We want the sounds coming out to be musical sounds.Th... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Thanks for your comments- I’ll keep this brief.There are two types of listening:Analytic-- looking for defects, tone balance, image, special effects, distortions, ... a very long list. This is the style of listening used by studio engineers, stere... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I have found that when the speakers are truly ’right’ in the time domain (not suffering from metal-cone breakups and cabinet/surface reflections), then the tone balance of the recording becomes secondary to anyone’s experience, not primary as you ... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? And when you write If you have a recording which captures live music in its rawest form, or the recording is not a good one, some of the earliest Telarc discs for example on a system which has good high frequency extension is going to sound bri... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? They were indeed time-coherent (across a limited range) but that is their only similarity to my work, to Dunlavy, Vandersteen, and Meadowlark.And you are indeed right about finding other gear to make them sing. Great! The difficulty of said search... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Dave and Troy, I do understand your points above, which were: In our view a system which is tuned so that everything sounds good including bad recordings, you know you are going to have a system which has rolled off top end and perhaps a slightl... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Thank you for your thoughts.When you write "One person’s sterile/analytical is another person’s "musical." One person’s rich and rolled off system is "musical"and to another "boring and un-engaging.", those are exactly my points, about how the non... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I appreciate the discussion.Some observations to share:After a few decades of demonstration, I have no doubt there can be a strong left-brain/right-brain difference among listeners, and some listeners are in the middle, who eventually make emotion... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? shadome, you are completely right about the outgassing of adhesives going away sooner than later. Now, concerning your idea about ferrofluid burning up- first, it is a synthetic oil very similar to Mobil One, which means it burns at a temp much hi... | |
| Roy Allison A brilliant man. Most audiophiles do not realize how very much his theories and experiments changed the speaker industry, both consumer and pro. His AES research papers guided many speaker designers in how to produce a more natural tone balance in... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? Thanks to everyone for their support. Kenji is the only one to act this way out of many thousands of clients since 1991. You may have noticed he never answers anyone's question but only changes the subject and accuses someone else of attack. How s... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? Kenji,How dare you tell people what I think, especially of other designers! I agree and admire what countless designers, past and present, have accomplished. Indeed, many ideas of others and the research of others have triggered my own. This is re... | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? "A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees." --William Blake | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? Thanks, Nicholas!In my experience, his posts will continue to become evermore frantic and illogical. I don't think he can help it, unfortunately.Best,Roy | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? Right whipsaw, but his room was so 'live', exactly as a tiled bathroom sounds, that this overwhelmed any choice of gear, any chance at synergy. Your own room is not an echo chamber, I presume.Best regards,Roy |
