| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? Zephyr,From what I have seen the S5 appears to have severe compression issues above 2KHz. So I am not surprised that the TAD (a reference speaker design) would make ones ears bleed if one was used to all that compression (congested laid back trebl... | |
| What is best for the speakers JBL Everest 6600? Mark Levinson 53 or Boulder 2060? I would go Bryston 7B. | |
| Your opinions on how to string 25 ft speaker cables A slight twist may help keep them together and be a practical solution for installation. As as far as the sound goes - twisted or not - it is irrelevant for speaker cables. | |
| Will a new sub sound better than my Velodyne F1200? Fundamental for a rock kick is around 50 To 80Hz but the punch or slap will be much higher like 4KHz.Sounds like your room is boomy or your sub has failed - besides at 85db peak you won’t get much kick from your sub anyway unless you have way too ... | |
| Need Help with Subwoofer Choice +1 JL - don't waste your time with anything else. 10 inch is fine in such a small room. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Blind tests demonstrate that differences may be too subtle to notice easily. They don't prove there are no differences but they do show that the differences are very subtle and at a level where it may not matter to some listeners. That serves a pu... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? "To believe that cables make no significant difference is wishful thinking. "Huh? Did you make a typo? Surely the wishful thinking is on the part of any person believing that a mere piece of copper wire (even some wire costing a ridiculous $5000) ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Coat hangers would be very difficult to work with as they are quite rigid and lack an insulation jacket. In theory they might work electrically but are very impractical compared to ordinary wires suitable to the task.For sure there are several dol... | |
| Tom Petty Box Sets I have Ryan Ulate remastered Damn the Torpedoes in Hi-res digital and I think it is pretty good. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If a system is resolving of or highly sensitive to the wires then it is designed incorrectly. I don't invest in audio gear to hear the wires - I prefer to hear the source music. | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio @mb1audio02 Active Speakers bring many technical advantages. There are cheap not so good ones and low end PA types but there are also really good ones. The really good ones (like higher end PMC) are often much better than a speaker with a passive ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? If cables make a big difference (and I believe they can in some cases) then the audio gear is not doing a good job to begin with. Audio gear is not supposed to highlight the interconnecting wires but the source material!!! | |
| Opinions on PMC vs. Neat, Monitor Audio PMC is a good choice. | |
| You were right about adding a sub. I don’t use my 15" sub with my 15" mains, however, in the past I found the sb was very effective at flushing out the ultra LF with small main speakers. | |
