| Active speakers to replace GMA Europas I been hearing a lot of the Audioengine 5 and NHT M00 but cannot see them being in the same league as the Europas? Of course not.If you can find NHT M-00 and S-00 then you will have an equivalent setup but specifically intended for a Studio deskt... | |
| I moved now Kef sound bad Assuming you like your speakers, then for a large room consider a subwoofer - a JL F113 should do the trick. | |
| Has anyone listened to the new Dave Matthews CD? I'm a fan of D.M.'s music, even though I often times can't understand the meaning of the lyrics, but I find the recording levels way too pumped up. Yeah - I have concluded that it gets fatiguing or just too busy for heavy rotation especially when... | |
| Housing Floorstanders in Cabinets As Marty says you need to make a seal and a smooth transition between the front baffle and the edge of the cabinet and you need to ensure the cabinet is as flat or as wall like as possible. Any gaps or any sharp edges will create edge diffraction.... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? These tests "prove" nothing except that the people involved did not hear a difference, not that others wouldn't. Agreed. It proves absolutely nothing at all.I think we can also all agree that there must be some (even if ever so small) difference ... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Jenny,Since the way a cable behaves has an awful lot to do with the equipment at both ends it seems to be a pointless endeavor to try to attribute individual sonic properties to the cables themselves. Arthur Salvatore has a lot to say about cables... | |
| Has anyone listened to the new Dave Matthews CD? See alsoIt is mastered a little hot but it is a good one - they nailed it! | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG There is freeware or shareware around but considering that it may take you several hours to split the files $32 bucks ain't bad. I did this last about 5 years ago as I wanted the soundtrack to the opening credits of [url=http://www.youtube.com/wat... | |
| DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable Al makes a good point. It is gear dependent. I use a Benchmark DAC1 partly because the claims by the manufacturer and most reviewers have indicated that it minimizes any jitter interface issues. Interface jitter is a problem but the right gear can... | |
| Benchmark High Res Playback If your PC can generate a 24/96 PCM digital signal then you can feed this Hi-Res to the DAC1. This is DVD-A format, however, most discs are copy protected and players will suppress the digital signal. The issue is to determine if your PC has a dig... | |
| Why choose studio speakers over full range? I have a large (25'x30') listening area and would like to feel percussion from moderate level listening (Rock, Motown, jazz/blues) The monitors seen in most of the photos of studios are the little ones used on the meter bridge and they are bass r... | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? John is right - mount them on the walls high up near the ceiling pointed down and modify the grill (add a wire grill) so they can't be damaged by a basketball. However, why anyone would want $10K speakers in their garage is a bit puzzling to me. | |
| Disconnect the woofer Contrary to audiophile wisdom, crossover networks "soak up" almost no power, even when all the drivers are connected. If they did they would get hot, and if mounted in a sealed enclosure stuffed with fiberglass or wool, very hot.Agreed. They don'... | |
| Shout out for DMB's Big Whiskey /GrooGrux Mekong56,Thanks - that would be this beauty. Anyway it sounds awesome and really funky. I recommend this album even for causal fans of DMB ( I got it yesterday and it is in heavy rotation ) | |
| Equalizer or acoustic room treatment or? Do the Snell speakers have metal drivers for the midrange? (I could not find them)Also - is there anything crowding the speakers - any sharp surfaces nearby or a glass table in front of the listener? |
