| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Tom Petty | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Pdreher,Agreed. It is primarily the dispersion that JA is uncomofortable with and the "untidiness at 800 Hz". (I think he is perhaps suggesting woofer breakup might be occuring at audible levels arpund 800 Hz - only down 24 db - a more aggresive x... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Tvad,Sorry I did not see your post.FWIW the M40.1 is really rather uninspiring - even Stereophile did not take much of a shine to it. The compact 7 and SHL5 are way better in the mids - these are the models that people seem to get excited about.Ha... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon It is called mid range. Some people hear it and some don't. Those who love mid range will hold dear the qualities of a speaker like Harbeth. Soundlabs are another example and Quad ESL 57's are an extreme example ( precious little else is good on t... | |
| Is JL best sub for the money? The Zu subwoofer review is from a Wes Marshall, who uses ATC SCM50 speakers. If Zu integrates with ATC then it is indeed a "musical" type sub rather than a HT type. ATC bass is thin, precise and tight. ATC make a large 15" subwoofer but it is ugly... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig I could change anything I want to - money is not a constraint. My only constraint is common sense. Common sense is probably the main reason I now find myself in the situation of having no monetary constraint. Some may recall my warnings about the ... | |

| Dealing with a large TV between speakers You also sit with your head near a wall - this is well known to collapse the soundstage and make if feel claustrophobic or constrained.It has nothing to do with your TV. | |
| Dealing with a large TV between speakers Your problem is not the TV - you are sitting along the short axis of the room. Have you ever seen a concert hall designed this way? No. And for good reason, the acoustic are not good in the orientation you have chosen | |
| Energy Veritas 2.1 Excellent mids - a lovely natural sound that fills the room evenly. They image well and prefer to be kept away from walls or they can sound overly boomy. | |
| auralex bass traps Second Kal, Mineral fiber traps are better by about 60%. So if you go LENRD's then you will simply need to a few more thats all.Specifically, One linear foot of GIK Tritrap is very roughly equivalent to 1.6 linear feet of Auralex LENRD in absorpti... | |
| Energy Veritas 2.1 Yes they are good. They punch way above their weight. Way above. | |

| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states A bit off topic here, but, if a speaker manufacturer needs to veer from the criterion you use to describe a "decent speaker design" and needs use something other than a higher impedance amp to achieve better results, what's the harm? You mean lik... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states However I find that if I am dealing with an individual who is educated with Voltage rules, that they will generally assume that there are no **other** rules. So I am interested in you thoughts regarding Duke's post. On the power rules front I thi... |
