| Bass reinforcement for very large room Hard to say but since you have tried subs before and don't like them - I'd say that the bass is not your problem. | |
| Speakers that sound like Grado headphones? ATC speakers like the SCM19 will be similar in sound. They evenly excite the room (uniform wide dispersion across all frequencies) so you tend to get a very similar sound to high quality studio headphones. Of course you get a soundstage and image ... | |
| Any Michael Bub'le fans....... I wish he could sing. I have seen him live in concert and he really is limited in ability. I do enjoy the music he does and all the ladies love him (cute) - so I got his latest CD for my Mom. If you like Buble then you will really enjoy Robbie Wil... | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Great list already - try also Robbie Williams' Swing when you are winning. Maceo Parker is worth checking out too. | |
| DAC that re-clocks for under $1000? Benchmark DAC1 it has a track record and is probably the market leading re-clocker at this price point. | |
| Help in upgrading monitors. Have you considered Focal Twin 6 actives - they are probably Focal's best selling speaker....at least in the pro world. | |
| JBL K2 5500 anyone? I don't think the 35 Hz will be a brick wall. There is sure to be plenty of energy below 35 Hz. I do not think it is wise to dismiss a world class speaker on this measure alone, unless, like most people, you prefer the North American consumer slow... | |
| ATC SCM 40 vs. ATC SCM 50 Shadorne, I hadn't thought about the amps in ATCs that much. If they run Class A... does the speaker enclosure throw off a lot of heat? A fair amount (as much when they are idle as when you run them hard) but remember that the amplifier does not ... | |

| Artists of the Decade I like the suggestions so far - how about "Cat Empire" | |
| ATC SCM 40 vs. ATC SCM 50 I prefer the passive. I won't miss the pleasure of trying different amps. :)No problem - but consider that you can still play with your source and preamps (tubes etc). ATC built in power amps run class A to two-thirds power - three amps per speake... | |
| ATC SCM 40 vs. ATC SCM 50 If you go ATC then you really should consider their active speakers. The difference between passive and active crossover will make an audible difference in clarity and effortless sound.Since you really liked the 40 then you will also like any of t... | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 Dynaudio C-4 would be my choice. Metal drivers are hard to control (ringing will be evident on any waterfall). Nevertheless the Salon2 is world class. | |
| Live vs home system??? Learsfool,Agreed. They would be used by the sound engineers for recording and mixing (selected for tonal quality for live acoustical instruments). In fact, it seems I may be out of date - as WGBH has moved out of Symphony Hall and are in a new fac... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? According to the advertisements I have seen on TV, wives have found that a little blue pill seems to fix the neutrality of home hi-fi systems. At least, anecdotally, men suddenly stop spending the majority of their time worrying about the neutrali... |
