Is the Accuton driver that good?
The sound of any good driver depends on the skill of the speaker designer Huh? So one can simply use cheapest drivers with small diameter voice coils, small magnets and with a long coil in a short gap and it will still sound great depending on th...

Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
I would be shocked it you didn't like any one of those better. I am quite sure I would appreciate them all. They all have a great reputation but I am sufficiently happy with the DAC1 that I have no urge to change. I think there is a stage you rea... 
Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions?
With all "legendary" products you will get the extremists out, trying to prove to everyone that they have something far far far superior.The DAC1 received near universal acclaim from pros and it got glowing reviews from many.1) It measures beyond ... 
Dire Straits Brothers in Arms Comparison
The XRCD is outstanding. The original CD is very close to the vinyl. The CD remasters are not good (hot or loud). You get don't get grain but due the extreme clarity it sounds a little unnatural (recorded in a dead environment). I mean you are hea... 
ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL?
Bob,IMHO, it is the the extended bass (down to 40 Hz) that you get with the bigger models. A large woofer will pressure up the room. It may be something we not only hear but feel. In any case you can definitely achieve similar results with a sub a...

MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright.
Genelec 8020B might be convenient in the corner of a bedroom.If you want more bass then there is a compatible subwoofer from Genelec.Polished polite and detailed is the sound they give.

My love of music is killing me.
The toughest thing for a parent is to lose a child. Remember it is good to cry and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. iMHO, You don't need help you simply need to accept how you feel (perfectly normal after your loss) and embrace it rath... 
New Giant Television
In that size room you could install at least a 120 inch drop down screen - that would be my recommendation - but you already know that you don't want a projector. 
Covering RPG Skyline with fabric
Of course it will work perfectly. Just use something similar to speaker grills - as near enough acoustically transparent as you can find. 
Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1
I was just pointing out that Sony does use other brands too. Studios have several types - especially as they will often have multiple nearfields.Those Duntechs are awesome. My response was to Mhedges. ATC is not exactly a household name like Sony... 
Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1
Ok what is ATC?ATC ReviewThey are used by many of the people that make our favorite "audiophile" recordings Steve Hoffman and Doug Sax (Sheffield Labs) as well as mainstream (pop/rock, classical, Hollywood multi-channel soundtrack) stuff.Not to be...
