| Dark Grey convuluted foam I am no expert but have gone through quite a few trial and errors. It depends on what you're looking for and every room is diferent. If you feel the highs are piercing or the sound becomes 'messy' when you crank up the volume too high then you wou... | |
| Dark Grey convuluted foam I would not use any type of foam product...they suckout to much energy and life and dynamicsAbsorption foams when used placed at optimum locations in the room will not kill dynamics but solve 1st order reflections. Benefits include less piercing h... | |
| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? Thanks for all responses. My 720p projector only has DVI, no HDMI. Guess I just have to try out and see if DVI-HDMI would yield better picture quality compared to the component cables that I'm currently using. On another note, is there a differenc... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Placing 2-3 of these in your room helps dial in the soundstage and supports the bass response.Ozzy, those pebbles actually helped the bass of your Andra II's? That's interesting. [no puns intended] | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? What a mess this has got into. I was reading each and every posts here and was giggling through all the way mainly for the sacarsm and exchange of words from both sides. I believe this thread was once taken off from Audiogon but was reinstated las... | |
| Benchmark to amp direct question? Hi CMK,Does running direct to the power amp in balanced configuration produce a better sound than going through the Modright preamp unbalanced?Thanks. | |
| subwoofer 19 by 18 room I cannot agree more with Bob Reynolds on setting up the sub.Apart from that, bass traps behind the speakers at the corners would substantially improve bass definition. I have read from a few posts that they don't help in some rooms but once I took... | |
| Small Room. Go for it or forget about it? If you have the patience to explore the benefits of room treatments and the wonders they can do to one's system, I'd say go for it. I've seen Marten Coltrane speakers($50k retail) in a space of 9'8"x13' heavily treated, and since you have monitors... | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? Great thread. I just received a few more Metheny's older albums and was pretty shocked on the quality of recording on these CD's. Most of the recordings that date back to the late 70's are still excellent and in good shape. The great tunes of fusi... | |
| Please suggest serene, restful jazz recordings There are already four recommendations on Charlie Haden/Pat Metheny's "Beyond the Missouri Sky". Make that five. This particular recording fits all your criterias. Quality of recording is excellent and the tunes are serene, peaceful and quiet as y... | |
| 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... |
