| What does one purchase after owning horns? Large active ATC's or PMC's used will do the trick of integrating bass and sounding dynamic and articulate like horns. | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? An insult to musicians everywhere. Remember the 10,000 hour rule. Absolutely. It takes about 4000 hours practice to achieve complete proficiency. About twice that to be considered "Good" by your peers. And 10,000+ to become elite.In terms of time... | |
| Disappointing Evening Except if it is too loud you cannot converse with the guests so that does not work. If you can converse then it is just background music, For a jaw-dropping five minute demo it needs to be a lot more dynamic than people have ever heard from a hom... | |
| Disappointing Evening Good quality sound is readily available everywhere at low volume levels.People need to get over the fact that the entire industry has caught up with the 60's audiophile crowd (who at that time had a huge advantage over everyone else). Today, I get... | |
| Anybody find themselves revisiting old threads? Many are deleted or unavailable. This site goes in circles. Balanced, XLR, RCA, passive, active, damping factor etc just repeat endlessly in repeated threads. | |
| Sound blead through on LP Yeah analog has some serious issues. This problem is easily audible between tracs but the fact is that "bleed" occurs all the time - right through an entire album (or analog tape). Although, to be fair digital, has its share of issues too. | |
| Disappointing Evening In cases like this - the five minute demo with polite guests- you need to shock and awe. I just crank it and guests are totally amazed because it sounds just like a real live show. | |
| Apple Airplay Sound Quality Airport Express is CD quality - 16 bits of and 44.1KHZOf course you need to CD quality (lossless) files in order to get the full benefit of CD quality. | |
| Lobos/Clapton Show - mini-review With Steve Gadd on drums what else can you expect but an absolutely fantastic show.Whether Eric is the greatest or not is a mute point since he is able to assemble the best musicians on the planet. | |
| Would I benefit from a headphone amp? You would be better served by Sennheiser HD-25-II pros. | |
| PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ??? The EB1i does not appear to have the same high quality dome as in the larger PMC speakers. It looks like the Vifa 3 inch dome which, if true, is nothing to write home about. Personally I'd definitely go PMC and I'd go for the next model up - IB2i.... | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? The offer astonishing dynamic range at low levels, a trait that is inherent with Transmission line loudspeakers. Can you explain why TL designs are so effective at lower levels?What happens at higher levels - does the TL design compress dynamics? | |
| Who is the World's Best 'New' Female Vocalist Check it out Maria Aragon | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? I find that a listening distance of 1.5 times the spacing between speakers works best.If you listen at 6 feet then speakers spaced 4 feet, at 9 feet spaced 6 feet apart, and at 12 feet spaced 8 feet.I find the often recommended equilateral triangl... | |
| How high the rears? High near the ceiling seems to work well as most sounds from the rear are ambient. You can put them lower on stands but frankly it clutters the room. |
