| jazz/blues piano players Janette Mason - if like a very technical pianist with blues/jazz and a funky twist. Janette makes it very clear that the Piano is a "percussion" instrument.... | |
| ATC scm 7,11,19 best position? I prefer no toe-in - just straight ahead provided you are 3 to 4 feet from side walls (otherwise an aggressive toe in may be needed to reduce unwanted reflections) | |
| ATC scm 7,11,19 best position? Since the woofer/mid runs up to around 3 KHz on the 19 I'd suggest keeping this driver at ear level and away from reflective surfaces if you can (they work best on a stand). | |
| Tired of HT HT Hoax is only a hoax if you expect to get the same two channel sound (when playing just two channels) from a similarly priced HT system as you get if you poured ALL your money simply into Source pre-amp amp and two speakers.This fact is self evi... | |
| Step Up/Down Transformers - Good or Bad? No major issues with amps. You must get a large enough transformer however or you will suffer. For a Power Amp expect a transformer to be roughly the size of a 5 Lb bag of sugar. | |
| Tired of HT There is no reason your two-channel sound from an HT system should be inferior to any equivalent 2 channel system. There is no fundamental difference at all.The only problem with HT is that you have five speakers and a sub - six speakers in all - ... | |
| Forced mod of Engergy V2.3 - suggestions? Try ABI Tech Services - they might be able to help. I know they repair Energy 22. ABI Tech Services | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise Dogmcd and Dave_b...All speakers, cone or panel, experience increasing distortion before their output rolls off. Indeed, distortion components tend to hold up the measured output level as the fundamental, which is what we care about, rolls off. W... | |
| jazz/blues piano players I know you don't like electric but you please endure this it is soooo amazing...listen carefully to the organ it is about as perfect as it gets. | |
| jazz/blues piano players Get Dave Grusin Homage to Duke I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Count Basie Breakfast Dance and BBQ is also special.These are a couple of way underrated pianists, IMHO.Dave Grusin Mountain Dance and Count Basie | |
| Bedroom system for my 10 year old son If he is really into music get him lessons. That would be the best thing you could ever do. | |
| best tommy record Do you mean Tommy Tutone | |
| SACD Interconnects Thanks. I do believe that everything makes a difference but it is always a matter of degree or, even, order of magnitude. I have heard differences (with electronic delays) of ~1millisecond between the two channels of a stereo pair but a 1millisec... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise A little tip for subs, make sure they are in the same plane as the midrange driver/panel. Front or rear firing subs are ok, but down firing subs are not very tuneful.Agreed upon keeping the sub close to the plane of the speakers but where did you... | |
| SACD Interconnects Kal,Thanks - there are so many myths propagated about cables, lengths, materials etc. that feed the fears of audiophiles - some by reviewers. I am highly impressed with your practical no nonsense approach. Kudos to you for calling a spade a spade.... |
