| New favorite VINYL Album? Tom Prtty & the HeartBreakers "The LIVE Anthology". Not just great music, very very good and flat vinyl and fantastic sound, BUT the nices BOX set I have ever seen. FIRST CLASS! I am a fan - is the CD version as good - anyone know?Tom Petty i... | |
| Is active speaker the future? Now active with external amps that is interesting.Good point. That is how active speakers originated - I believe Westlake and ATC and others still use this approach on large models especially where severe heating from high levels of amplification... | |
| Is active speaker the future? I agree with Kal. Part of this hobby is "cooking" - making your own sound and individually unique system - for many people that is where the fun and pride is generated.The problem with high end active speakers is that you get a reference sound. Th... | |
| Speaker recommendation. have $2,500 There is a review of the PSB Imagine T in Stereophile - thanks to Kal for pointing it out - it looks impressive and we are talking excellent value. | |
| Room matters Kal,I may not have been clear enough or I oversimplified things too much but I can confirm we are in complete agreement. It is only below the critical frequency that spatial issues dominate. I very much agree with that and for the sake of a "crit... | |
| Room matters Meridian's use of correction in the sub-300Hz range on all channels (optional and modifiable) is a great solution and one that should be an option on all other room EQ systems. My choice of 100 Hz may be a bit low and as you correctly point out -... | |
| Room matters However, every one of these systems that I have auditioned works wonders, particularly in the bass. To reconcile the conflict, I use DRC only for subwoofers - where it makes the biggest improvement - and run a (mostly) "purist" main signal path. ... | |
| how to side-grade from B&W 805's? I agree with Kal - judging from the Stereophile measurements the PSB Imagine T is an outstanding value speaker reminiscent of Energy's best speakers - a beautifully smooth on and off axis response. | |
| Energy RC or Veritas Veritas 1.8 - what excellent value for a good soundingspeaker. | |
| 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. |
