| Living Voice vs PMC? Ryder,You can get that info from PMC site, or do a search on the net, there is plenty of info on PMC.OB1, IB1 and EB1 all have Vifa midrange driver.The only difference between OB1 and EB1 is LF driver, cabinet and of course cross-over.In-house mad... | |
| Living Voice vs PMC? EB1 has the same Vifa midrange driver as OB1, so if that is the criteria there is no point going to EB1.You want to look for speakers that use ATC or PMC (not Vifa) dome midrange, there are several manufacturers that sue them.In PMC lineup, the fi... | |
| Anyone had experience with PMC big guns? Jaybo,Could you please describe in a few words the difference between IB2 and MB2, and why you preferred big spendor and the atc (and which models)? | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Acoustat6,I measured it using TacT. | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Yes, I have a couple of nulls above 100Hz, but not exceeding 3-4dB.I bought 22kg of lead shot today, will try to play with mass on speakers and stands, as well as some further attempts at room treatment with homemade stuff. | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Shadorne, I do not have the sub.My speakers are PMC IB2, two channel.Humps are 50Hz on left channel and 40Hz and 70Hz on right channel, quite severe, somewhere around 8dB.BTW, I drove to States to hear active ATC50s, setup was not that great (they... | |
| Wadia 521 Converter 581i player is esentially transport + 521, so whay you get out of 581i is preaty much it. | |
| wadia 581 My 581 skips and doesn't recognize sacd I have no problems of any kind, with either CD or SACD, including ability to select between the two on dual layer disks (which was another problem I have heard about on very early models).And no overheating as well.Send it to Wadia. | |
| Speakers to stands coupling Beside wooden disks, so far I tried brass disks, improvements are even more noticeable without some negative impact on midrange I noticed with wooden ones.Next will be brass cones (spike down into stands).It seems to me Sorbothane pads are really ... | |
| Studio monitors as Audiophile speakers ATC, PMC Studio and domestic line-ups are identical, the difference is finish, domestic offers wood veneers for example. This is true for PMC and I believe for ATC as well.And it is the design and intended application that determines near-field or not.I ow... | |
| PMC MB2 vs Revel Salon 2 vs Dynaudio Sapphires I did not hear Dynaudio Sapphires for long enough to form a firm opinion (to whatever extent it can be firm when you do not audition in your system), but in general was very pleased with what I heard.Revel Salon 2 I am not crazy about, heard too m... | |
| Emm Labs SE combo versus Wadia 581-SE You will make a mistake if you buy something based on someones what is better suggestion.You have to hear for yourself, preferably in your system.The possibility of one the same player sounding the same in two different systems and rooms is nea... | |
| Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC I have owned FB1, extensively auditioned OB1, and now own IB2.I have auditioned some speakers from Paradigm and Dali lineup.Considering that I speak from my preferences perspective, simply put I do not like Paradigm, would consider Dali, with OB1 ... | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers, any suggestions? Shadorne,I would not find more forward sound and leaner bass objectionable.ATC was on my list at the time I got PMCs, but I never heard them.From your perspective, how do “hi-fi” manufacturers with some professional monitor pedigree fare in compar... | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers, any suggestions? Here is more info and comments on suggestions I am grateful for.Room is approximately 19X19 ft, with a single corner, think of a fat raindrop shape, that is how my room looks like.Room measurement with Tact showed pretty much flat curve from 150Hz... |
