Short List of the Best 20K Speakers
10-09-09: Pubul57Why the focus on 20Hz? Seems like there would be far more important aspects of speaker performance than that, at least for 99.8% of music I asked the same question - no reply. Perhaps it is just a lame excuse for a change a perfe... 
ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110
The cabinets on the new models do indeed look lower in cost to assemble than the older (German) cabinets. ATC make the drivers in house in the UK. They have always outsourced cabinet making - their strength is in engineering, designing transducers...

Tony Williams is awesome - he has inspired a new generation of fantastic drummers like Cindy 
Buble's interesting comments on recording
Frank,Yes the second is the one I was referring to. As well as being an exceptional recording it has some very nice imaging - you can hear on some of the duets that they seem to be about 2 feet apart in the sound stage. It is a real fun performanc...

Tools to measure in room response
I'm with Kal - I use Fuzzmeasure and a measurement microphone - examples are on my virtual system. Even with a tool like this it took me several days to make adjustments. A good understanding of physics helps but is not a prerequisite to using too...

Cable Costs Relative to System
blow you away for a budget price of around $200 to $600 FYI, I've had $20K plus cables from Transparent and MIT...these are betterI wish I could be blown away so easily as one piece of wire versus another. My tin ears I guess. 
CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos
Al,Yes careful is the word. Sony/Philips/Telarc have demoed their SACD's at Audio Engineering Society conventions a few times but only on what is pretty much a full fledged main monitor studio system (capable of continuous 121 db SPL with a good 1... 
Buble's interesting comments on recording
Larry,Try to get Robbie Williams "Swing while your Winning" - you won't be disappointed. Buble is good,damn good, and I have even seen him in concert - a good down to earth lad but he barely holds a candle to Robbie Williams (who can just about he...

Tower of Power Soul Vacination - Diggin' on James Brown has some great funky bass. 
Short List of the Best 20K Speakers
What is with the 20Hz? If you are serious and want to maintain equal quality with your revels then you need a couple of good subwoofers like a couple of JL112's or 113's or a single high quality monster subwoofer (15" or greater) and you can get c... 
Amarra for iTunes at RMAF...
Interesting. I am heading towards iTunes eventually. (Time to dump the 5 CD Megachangers) If I eventually go this route then I will need room modal correction for the bass signals - so I anticipate I will need a pro quality digital Paremetric EQ p... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Soundlabs are reviewed as having very good realistic bass, so a sub should not be necessary.However before I got the Soundlabs I was going to try out a Klipschorn bass unit that I managed to get hold of - my theory is that it would make the ideal...
