| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Yep Mojo is awesome.If you don't have Tom Petty & the HB's Live Anthology then you know what to buy next | |
| Room EQ to eliminate the BBC dip? It is not that simple. Your speakers are fairly flat on axis. The BBC dip occurs off axis - with greater dip at greater angles. It comes from using a woofer that is too large for the midrange (a 5 inch or more and running it up to nearly 4 Khz, wh... | |
| Why, one front/one back sub, a double distance? No double distance. If you sit equidistant from the two (one sub in front and one behind) then you should enter that distance (from you to one of the subs) in your pre/pro. Also make sure the subs are in phase. This will ensure that sound from you... | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Bill's advice is very solid. Wilson, like B&W - like 'em or hate 'em - both are a force in the Audiophile Industry and will more likely have service support and better resale value for years to come. | |
| Speakers for Dance music and other Party speakers for dance music need to be robust. I'd recommend you go for something with pro drivers rather than a Watt Puppy.If you also want fidelity then look into used studio main monitors - Westlake horns, Meyer, PMC, JBL, Genelec and ATC. | |
| How to listen to the good stuff? Maybe I did not word this correctly. I have two incredible systems in my home right now. Much better than anything I've ever heard at a dealer. That would probably be your room - extensive room acoustic treatments and a large space will always so... | |
| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? I suspect that voodoo claims and marketing is much to blame. After all, high end is synonymous with very expensive highly marked up but ordinary wires - how can high end ever expect to be taken seriously. Only cranks are going to buy 3/4 of an inc... | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 v5 vs Vienna Haydn Grand Not sure I like either but if I has to choose - I'd go for the Paradigm | |
| How to listen to the good stuff? It is tough. Keep looking and one day you may get it. It hit me in late 1995 - just by hazard I found something that worked. I wasn't even looking but stumbled into a dealer while on a business trip. When you hear it you will know. So keep checkin... | |
| Speaker power handling My Classe amp drove them with ease. If I could find similar performance with smoothness my search would be over.The Paradigm's tilt upwards in the treble - if you turn the treble down then they may work better for you. If they sound harsh then yo... | |
| Speaker power handling Although small, they sound surprisingly larger and for a 2 way design they are very coherent.Dynaudio make their own "pro" drivers and are much higher quality than what most manufacturers use. So you can get away with a smaller Dynaudio than you ... | |
| Speaker power handling Athough the Dynaudios have some of the best drivers in the industry the Focus 140 is a midget of a speaker. I'd recommend larger speakers if you want to play loud. I'd also question your logic of having so much invested in amplification and the in... | |
| Good DACs for Apple Airport Express? Or receivers? Benchmark DAC1 will reject the jitter from your Airport Express. I would not put as much faith in older receivers at jitter rejection - although the difference will likely be small to most ears. | |
| hearing tests - where and how? Up to 12K is important. Higher than that is not really that relevant to music. | |
| This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King It's good to be King |
