| Newbe Help what AV amp A Concert DVD should work just fine provided you select Stereo!Sound quality of live concerts is often not up to par though.If you want to play 5.1 through a stereo then I am afraid you need to "downmix" which might or might not be an option on yo... | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? It is not even close, IMHO, different league | |
| DEQ2496 RTA and Microphone Techniques You need to keep it away from surfaces - get a stand. Surfaces will affect the measurements significantly | |
| What do they mean for "long throw driver"?? Don't expect too much from a $20 woofer - definitely be careful not to over drive them. | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? PSB 1 for sure. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? The Woman - The Man | |
| Do you remember your first cd? Sigh...sure do but it was nothing compared to the first time I took the grills off and admired a pair of woofers. | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Cbw723,You need to investigate further. If you can hear the difference caused by a time delay of 1 inch (roughly 0.1 msec) in a subwoofer then there is something seriously wrong. 1 inch is less than the distance between your ears - it is of the or... | |
| Why do subs sound bloated or slow? Certainly group delay and frequency response are intertwined.I suspect that "masking" is what makes the effects audible. What I mean is that you can't perceive accurately what is happening to the bass response except by what it "masks" in the high... | |
| 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... |
