| Best active speaker how does genelec compare to atc?Put it this way, when George Massenburg built his latest studio (after 30 years as a renown recording engineer, equipment designer and university lecturer) he installed BOTH. Ninety tons of MDF were cut and milled t... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Joan's voice was haunting | |
| Best active speaker kers.ATC is very good but I must say very energy wasteful. The heatsinks are hot to touch even when not in use.I read in HDD forum according to AVIhifi founder which is an ex ATC engineer that he finds ATC outdated being that they are spending wa... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Nina was awesome | |
| Best active speaker Can't go wrong with ATC but you know that.Consider also Focal Twin 6 - a real bargain in active designs and obviously a step up from the passive electra 1007 (but you lose all that pretty and very expensive cosmetics for better sound and more expe... | |
| thank you shadorne 801 is a classic. I'd say that this speaker, more than any other, is what established B&W. | |

| nonshielded magnet / speaker Unlikely to matter - a permanent magnet is fixed like the earth's magnetic field it has no impact on ac signals. I doubt the voice coil will carry as far as that. | |
| Flac conversion for ipod? I am interested in any answers to this. Anyone having success buying high quality HD Tracks and converting FLAC to apple lossless for use in iTunes? | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Juan you are right that there are a few people out there who are broke from spending way too much on the wrong things, however, you cannot generalize. For example, my system cost is irrelevant to me. I choose not to buy what I feel are ridiculous ... | |
| Active speakers. What to choose? The vifa dome also appears to be used in lower end PMC models. The problem is the precision engineering and high cost to build a high quality dome. Most domes that are larger than 2 inch do not work that well and one would be better off with a reg... | |
| Active speakers. What to choose? Dome midranges are not all equal. ATC and PMC versions use a double spider to avoid rocking. There is a cheap version from Vifa of a 3 inch dome and it is used in the Beolab 5. The Vifa dome is not at all in the same class as what ATC and PMC use ... |
