| 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... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos 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... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Try Marcus Miller M2, trouble is, you won't want to take it off.Indeed - Nils Landgren "Da Fonk" - on the 5000 miles CD has stupendous bass from Marcus Miller - but be careful it could destroy the small woofers (the voice coils can get very hot on... | |

| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Hunter Jennifer Warnes, Maceo Parker Roots & Grooves has a nice Dennis Chambers drum solo lots of bass drum triplets. | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix Only a horn has the transient speed and "air" to keep up with a panel????Any responses? A horn subwoofer would need a huge chamber. If it were folded and made of concrete (so the walls did not introduce distortion) then it might work but we are t... | |
| B&W Rohacell vs woven Kevlar The material is important as you want the cone to be fairly stiff but also to be internally damped. Stiff and light is good but you don't want the thing to ring like a bell. So a weave or a pulp construction or a light fabric impregnated with visc... | |
| Power Conditioning: How Do You Know You Need It? how do I know whether I actually have a problem that needs to be solved? Try a basic power bar conditioner from Monster on your sources and preamp - they start at only around $100 - if it makes a difference then you should start investigating a p... |
