| 1K used monitor with wide/uniform dispersion B&W N805 has a lovely response. A used one might stretch your budget but it is worth it. ATC's are also very even off axis but you simply don't need that kind of power (overkill for 65 - 75 db). | |
| Do you ever wonder? I have many examples but I have deliberately chosen what I think is the worst.Just listen to this and please, please, someone explain to me what is so captivating about Shirley. | |
| I can dream, can't I? Vandersteen Model 7 But hey what do I know - about half the A'goner's implied I was an idiot - so don't take my advice. BTW - it is roughly the same statistic on my technical audio musings...perhaps we all just like to be controversial at least half the time! | |
| I can dream, can't I? Vandersteen Model 7 I second Viridian - I'd try to catch the market a bit lower if you can. I smell another buying opportunity (although we may still get a double dip recession - so be prepared to hang on). I went from cash back in to the market in Q1 2009 (some grea... | |
| subwoofer speaker cables under the house 14 gauge minimum should do it - 12 gauge if you are fanatical. | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? Cam3366,Let me put it another way - many people have answered your posts requesting for information - including myself. Kind of what hobbyists do _ guess - share ideas and advice. Surely it was not all self-serving opinions and a waste of your tim... | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? True. Unfortunately, may of the "opinions" on hardware are self serving in nature. And many are disguised as being "expert" opinions. Sad but it is the same (or much worse) with audio magazine reviews. This is why I prefer to buy audio equipment ... | |
| How much does CD player affect overall sound? Agree with Tholt. Modern electronics and digital technology has resulted in there being less differences between source/preamp/amp (once you reach a decent level like a Cambridge CD player) than with room and speakers.Choice of speakers and the ro... | |
| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? The Benchmark DAC1 is not a "transparent device," This seems to go against the majority of conclusions and test measurements, as well as my own observations. FWIW - upsampling is used in many D to A devices. It would be difficult to explain Time ... | |
| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? I just wish Apple would make a really cool audiophile class component out of stainless steel or aluminum that had a huge terabyte size hard drive and coax and optical outs. I have been experimenting with wireless access from my mac mini to a LaCi... | |
| Steve Hoffman site Beatles discussions? Yes, on this site they actually discuss music without hidden agendas to sell hardware Perhaps that might be because Audiogon is primarily a website devoted to reviews and discussions about gear, share with others your setup, buying and selling of... | |
| Suckout at 40 hertz...less pricey solutions? Agree with Ojgalli - your only viable option is to get a subwoofer and position it a little way forward into the room and then EQ it with notch filters so it does not add to the speakers peaks.You need an enormous amount of acoustic treatments or ... | |
| B&W 801 vs 803s Are some reviewers on the take out there. Yes, reviewers are looking for favors. Yes - one should be well aware that reviewers get demo or discounts (at cost) for some review equipment which they can then use and then sell used, sometimes for a s... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Those spectrograms look to be fully modulated, not compressed. If you've even seen one of a compressed file, it's unmistakeable. Yes and No. Depending on how hard you look.Unfortunately, there are several forms of "limiting" used in compression."... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? Tomcy6,While it ain't as bad as the kind of compressed crap that Butch Vig puts out - it ain't pretty...The article tries to imply it judicious compression but you know ...a euphemism is a euphemism. |
