New Tom Petty
almost a throwback to the Yardbirds era of British R & B Yes it is indeed a throwback to the way traditional blues were played by British. However, it has a distinctly American feel to it also - one cis left in no doubt that this is American ... 
Has anyone auditioned the BeoLab 5 speakers?
They appear to use the Vifa 3 inch dome midrange (D75MX-31-08). This is the same as is used on some PMC's.It is a good sounding midrange but it cannot play very loud without compression/distortion. 
What decibel level do you listen at?
A lot will depend on the source music. The more lower frequency content the more likely you will get clipping or IMD. It is also not just an amp problem...speakers compress music because drivers quickly exceed their linear operating range - this a... 
New Tom Petty
Checked it last night on the big rig: Audio quality on Mojo CD is superb. The CD will be in my car on heavy rotation for a few weeks for sure. 
New Tom Petty
I saw the Heartbreakers recently and they played several numbers from Mojo. I suspect this album will please fans who like the heavier side to Petty (and who may have been less taken with Highway Companion or Wildflowers).I really liked "First Fla... 
Audiophile speakers that rock well
And if a "monitor sized" speaker is required because of the room size, then you aren't likely to achieve your goal anyway. True it is tough to rock out with small monitor type speakers. However the ATC SCM19 will play surprisingly loud (with a bi... 
Audiophile speakers that rock well
ATC Monitors are popular with studios that produce a lot of rock - try to audition the SCM19 - small but plays surprisingly loud. You will need a beefy amp though. 
Regarding ATC SCM19 speakers...
They do 60 Hz to 12Khz really well - especially reknown for the midrange clarity and tight precise bass (sealed box design). So if you like precision...However, you can get a lot more bass extension/speaker for the same money - Revel Concerta F12 ... 
oppo bdp-83se vs oppo bdp-83
I an interested in the answers to this thread. I would suspect that the Panasonic BDP-85K would be an option (Wolson DAC and low jitter circuitry) - although it may not be quite up to the video performance of the Oppo 83. 
Digital out... does source matter?
Digital signals arry a clock timing signal. Unless you get a DAC that is immune to jitter (asynchronous type have become common in the last five years) then it can matter what your digital source is. 
classical label monitors
The PMC website has an impressive "key client list".And PMC used ATC midrange for years and recently their own clone of ATC's three inch mid dome design. So two of the more popular studio monitor designs happen to share the same mid range (and cro... 
Best rock song of all times
Hey we got some AC/DC fans out there. The latest album is pretty good - Black Ice. It may not be a new landmark from Angus and the crew but it has some great classic rock sound.It was recorded hereSounds like this. 
classical label monitors
Aren't studio monitors not the usual choice for relaxing music listening and for the far more critical needs of the producer & production process? Absolutely. Horses for courses. The majority of systems for home listening tend to be primarily... 
classical label monitors
I missed Chandos in the list above - like I said - most everything done recently. 
classical label monitors
Sony, Warner, Polygram, Naxos, Telarc, EMI, Colombia, DeccaParamount, Nimbus, Sain, Sentinel, ECM, Virgin, Hyperion etc. use ATC - you can find a partial list here here - it is likely that about one third of your modern classical collection (last ...
