| Grilles or No Grilles Interesting thread but let me add a technical explanation.A grill will reduce somewhat the high frequencies (around 0.1 to 0.5 dB max) - not worth worrying about really.Another factor is vibration - when playing loud and pumping loads of air it is... | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Spatial issues are not that important in the LF as we are talking only a few milliseconds with waveforms that are 50 milliseconds long at 20 Hz. A PEQ will delay only a few milliseconds also so no big deal.Group delay can be a lot more than a few ... | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? Try Rebeca Pigeon - you can find her on Chesky. She has a penetrating voice. Another good one is Joan Baez - Diamond's and Rust. | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Transient response is not irrelevant. Many subs have group delays of up to or more than 1 cycle. Of course this is audible. The other factor intrinsically tied to transient response is the resonance. An underdamped design will keep oscillating aft... | |
| Speaker appearance verses musicality. My guess is that, for the most part, appearance is at least 50% of the buyer's decision. This hobby is not purely about sound quality. | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? It is much cheaper to make a subwoofer that plays bloated and slow - so that is mostly what you find.It is extremely expensive to make a subwoofer with low distortion, significant SPL output below 30 Hz and a good transient response (low group del... | |
| Is 11' distance from projector screen too close? I did quite a bit of research and the Panasonic AE4000 was the best projector about 6 months ago ( in the 2000 to 5000 range) - not sure if it will throw as little as 11 ft but it kicks the butt of that Sony you are looking at - right out of the b... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Most people here who are listening to deep bass are actually listening to mostly distortion - although manufacturers won't admit it - sad to say but distortion sells really well | |
| drive by truckers Yup been following them for a long while - Potato Hole is genius! | |
| Is 11' distance from projector screen too close? It is a bit close and you would be wise to check if the projector can do it before committing. | |
| Most Challenging CD Try Charly Antolini Countdown or Dire Straits Brothers In Arms | |
| Headphone opinion Sorry the above should read Sennheiser HD 25 I-II. This headphone has been a choice of pros for the last 20 years. | |
| Headphone opinion My favorite is the Sennheiser HD-I-II. I have not found anything better. Easy to drive. Extremely dynamic (up to 120 dB SPL). Precise sound with tight accurate bass. Great external noise reduction (-17 dB). Extremely comfortable and light weight a... | |
