| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system Jkeniley,I still don't get it. You want a high performance system for very low cost (8 speakers and subs etc etc. no less with audiophile quality but industrial ruggedness and all for mere 5 to 7K!!). It does not exist. Panels would be just plain ... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance High capacitance can be a tough load for consumer grade gear - best to stick to short runs or low capacitance IC's. You can lose dynamics and in some extreme cases you get distortion. | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Some amazing B3 playing on School's In! by Maceo Parker....try Advanced Funk and the organ playing is just about as funky as it gets...Morris Hayes is on keyboard. | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did Don't worry some people are more susceptible to the power of suggestion that is all. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Loose bass, forward midrange, bright glassy upper mids/lower highs, rolled off upper highs. Variable performance. Unreliable. High maintance. Difficult to get replacement parts. When they break, they offer the potential to break other links in th... | |
| Scaled back to my computer need speakers NHT M00 and S20 would be a good choice. | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... Rtn1 may have hit the nail on the head. You may want to explore tube power amps or at least a tube DAC but a tube power amp will probably make the biggest difference in the direction you seek. | |
| Room treatment requirement differences Some of the planar speaker makers wanted the rear wall reflective, Apogee recommended this for my Duetta Sigs. Agreed - provided you have the space a reflecting surface is fine. Research has clearly shown that early or near reflections will not i... | |
| The Great Speaker Quest I got the message you want dynamic (like horns) but do not sound honky like horns and you want small with tight accurate bass (no bloat). You want to be able to move around and the sound should stay the same (no change in presentation or tonality)... | |
| Room treatment requirement differences Unless you can get the MG's well out into the room then you might need some absorption/diffusion behind them (for the rear reflection). Otherwise treatments will probably be similar (for bass) | |
| Room Treatment: Whatcha Got? Roughly 15 - 20K worth of treatment. Soffit mounting of main monitors and rear wall behind the listener treatments were the most costly probably because I tried to get an aesthetic result. It may not have been enough as I still use a PEQ to tame t... | |
| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system I have been very impressed with Westlake audio monitors in their ability to fill up any room with superb fidelity sound.I agree - they are the cat's meow but you are talking mega-bucks to buy even a pair. A modest sized BBSM-6F is like 3K. | |
| Recommend speakers for a restaurant sound system Stick to something like JBL pro series or JBL EON - don't spend a fortune on great sounding speakers that sound great that your staff will all too easily blow up when cleaning up after the late shift. Consumer speakers are great sounding but they ... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Two way bookshelves are often best value in the under 5K category. For some reason you need to go quite expensive to get equivalent clarity in a large three way. It may be a masking effect, bass notes masking higher frequencies so it is best to go... | |
| Review: Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta Speaker Have you considered that the room triangular cross section shape might also create some interesting and unusual refections on the rearward directed polar radiation pattern - especially with bipoles heavily toed in? It might even prove an interesti... |
