| Devore Super 8 and B&W 805s-shootout I know these aren't usually characteristics used to describe a B&W, but its true-to my ear at leastActually those who love the B&W sound would share the same opinion. Lots of comments these sound bright and harsh but I just find them to so... | |
| Which CD failed you on bass notes? Just received Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny's Missouri Sky. The recording was top notch and music was great. The bass quality is very good and the rich resonant bass notes literally float in the air. I however liked Metheny's Imaginary Day better,... | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? Count me in as another Pat Metheny fan. Just received Pat Metheny Trio 99>00, Imaginary Day and Missouri Sky. The Trio CD went in first and was rather disappointed with the style of music. Didn't like that too much and was little worried the ot... | |
| Combining different speaker cables for bi-wiring? Since the high and low frequency drivers are completely different devices, each with its own sonic character, connecting them with different wire is of no concern.I share the same opinion as with Eldartford. In my system the bass is entirely handl... | |
| Dynaudio Contour S3.4 users: sub required? Not to hijack this thread but I have to respectfully disagree with Bradpaton's opinion in that a sub should strictly be limited to HT. My PMC speakers which utilize Dynaudio drivers are rated at 35Hz but needed a sub to really dig the deep bass no... | |
| 3 way vs. 2 way Please note that the poster's room is only 9' wide, and assuming the speakers are about 2' from side walls the distance between speakers that's left is only 5', or less. Any moderate sized speakers wouldn't sound too good in that kind of space, an... | |
| Which CD failed you on bass notes? I have most of Fourplay's albums which include "Between the Sheets", "Fourplay", "Elixir" and "Heartfelt" as well. I agree that all these with the recent recordings from Lee Ritenour and "David Benoit & Freeman Project 2" are excellent. Earlie... | |
| Which CD failed you on bass notes? I don't have this CD yet but will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? Sashav,Thanks for the tip. I knew the IB2's were too huge for my room. Your friend's room is still much larger than mine. Since I can only place my speakers along the short wall, there is no way the IB2's can fit into a width of 11'. I am not surp... | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? Sashav, May I know what is your friend's room dimension, and the IB2's are on the short wall or long wall? Thanks. | |
| The Room WHich is more effective for the ceilng, RPG Skylines or Hemmifusors? And what is the difference between Skyline and Skyline LP? The Skylines reminds me of Jor-El's sanctuary albeit an inverted one minus the crystals. Noticed a few members here wit... | |
| The Room Rives- thanks for the link. Your comment on the sound quality being attributed to the room coincides with my experience. 50% is quite substantial though, but I may concur if I had my room covered with 50-75% of treatments! I'll leave the ceiling b... | |
| The Room It's good to know that I'm not the only one who have noted the importance of room acoustics and the subsequent influence it would have on most systems. I think the major issue regarding room treatments is that most folks do not have a dedicated ro... | |
| B&W 803s vs Focal 1027Be I am biased. The 803S are very formidable speakers. | |
| 1 or 2 subwoofer for small room & placement Thanks for responses. Looks like I'm not alone in getting better results with the sub in between the speakers. Just purchased a Radio Shack meter and would be curious to know how things can be improved even further. |
