Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more?
It took me a while to get used to how clean the Benchmark is, but now I think it is very emotionally involving.I don't think that I have ever left a concert at a music hall and thought about how clean the music sounded or how every instrument seem...

So, you sat in the studio to know what is supposed to be audible in the mix? It's more like I know what's not supposed to be audible. If you want to hear some extra details, you can buy a speaker that is really hot at some frequencies or just buy ...

Most well designed loudspeakers strive for a relatively flat frequency response no engineer strips out "natural harmonicss," the fact that "natural harmonics would be an integral part of the signal it would be impossible to strip anything out. In ...

Believe it or not, somebody asked on this forum how to make sound warmer with less detail. I recommended thick blanket over speakers.If I hear a speaker that is putting out so much detail that I'm hearing things that I've never noticed before and...

Doctor, I'm not sure how imaging can fit into a preference camp. Imaging is more to do with factors like driver spacing, crossover point, size and number of drivers, and baffle size/shape. High dynamic range speakers that can pressurize a room and...

kijanki, it comes down to taste and compared to what?? IMO, the only losers are those that don’t audition enough gear.Here is a comparison of the AHB2 to the Schiit Vidar by the audiophool. The tonal balance of the AHB2 tends towards lean. It’s no...

03-10-2018 2:45pm@seaheis" They trust their ears less and gain valuable insights from measurements and white papers."I am on the detail side and I recently bought a Benchmark AHB2 amp and DAC3L so you got that assumption correct. However, I trust ...

You ask this { Are there more then this as two distincly different camps?} and end with this { Please discuss, you can cite examples of products or systems but keep to the topic of sound and nothing else.} so whats this all about then? Also poster...

Trying to record that moment and mix it and replay that through an amplified system can never be exactly the same. IE your position to the live music, backround noise, mics, recording equip, ect. I am an audio engineer and mix live music.And don’t...

Type One: Detail, clarity, soundstage, the high resolution/accuracy camp. People who fall into this camp are trying to reproduce the absolute sound and use live music as their guide.Live music in the recording studio or live music in a venue? For ...

I would say camp 1 is the analytical crowd that is left brain dominate. These are your engineers, doctors, and tech professionals. They like their music colored to the analytical/detailed side. They believe that this sound signature is neutral. Th... 
Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY?
thanks for the suggestion on the gtaudioworks. Those look like Magnepan killers. Yesterday I received some Betsy open baffle speakers made by caintuck audio from an Agon seller and I can't stop listening to them. They are laughably good for the mo... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I'm not surprised at all jayctoy. My cable risers are the backbone of my system. ;-)  
Subwoofer: Watts or Brand Name?
The REL is a lot easier to blend if you are running your mains full range. The SVS are a great choice if you are using some type of DSP or bass management, as they are tougher to blend. Those SVS sledge amps are very powerful, but that power must ... 
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
In the testing, it was noted the speaker demonstrating a flare at 5-6khz, which would certainly correlate with what has mentioned. The LS50 is also a very extended design and does display an elevated treble response. But if comparing the LS50 and ...
