| Review: Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta Speaker So, there you have it, horn efficiency and dynamics with none of the usual disagreeable horn characteristics. One of my test recording for dynamic range, both micro and macro, is Kodo, Heartbeat Drummers of Japan on Sheffield. Say what you will a... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Good news. Perhaps you should keep the system constant for a while (wait a while before doing the breath of life" mod on the Sony 777ES.. I mean going from mono for all those years and finally to stereo is already quite a leap, IMHO. | |
| totem arro drivers It uses an MB Quart woofer and should be a good deal cheaper than Dynaudios pro type drivers. | |
| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP FWIW I am no fan of the gated reverb drum sound - it was one of the steps on the way towards the loudness wars. This was one of the first few songs to use this technique and may have popularized it. | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock Shame Queen could not perform (to my knowledge, correct me If I am wrong), Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety live.The chorus is heavily overdubbed it would hardly sound like an operatic chorus if only four sang it. Think of Verdi's Chorus of Hebr... | |
| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP In the air tonight done only with the human voice. | |
| best vocal harmonies in rock This is all without any (yes I mean ZERO) instruments and was recorded on a Paris Subway. Naturaly 7. Somebody asked about Phil Collins drums on this song in another thread - well here you can hear drums but it is done all by voice!!! | |
| best rock voices Surely you do not mean album sales?Yep Queen has the record for highest album sales in UK history beating Sgt Pepper. DSOTM, Thriller, OASIS and many others. | |
| Movies in the 70's & 80's was it stereo or mono? It would depend on the movie and theatre. Surround sound started in a big way around the mid 70's with Star Wars using two optical tracks (Dolby Stereo system). Some films were done in stereo prior to that using magnetic tape but this made the fil... | |
| center speaker need help asap I'd suggest going phantom center until you can find a proper matching center (this is because matching tonality is so important with voices). I have ATC 100's and I don't really miss a center channel at all because we are usually only 2 or 3 to wa... | |
| My system is getting worse - now what? Stonedeaf,Your advice is right on. The whispy sound is sometimes sounding as if air was leaking out of the speaker. Another trick I use is to touch the woofer rubber surround very lightly while playing music softly - normally the sound does not ch... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? i don't think philosophy has anything to do with the subject. i detect a tad of obsessiveness with the words "frightening" and "relaxing". You are right, I guess I meant semantics and not philosophy. Nevermind, it just struck me, based on your ma... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs Robbie Williams Live At The Royal Albert Hall is a must have. It is standard Ratpack "swing" stuff but executed superbly and the sound is awesome. | |
| Active Speaker Question I have active speakers plugged into a conditioner as a precaution but I heard absolutely no difference. Make sure you use a conditioner designed for power amplifiers (high current) | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Mr Tennis tends to asks many philosophical questions of deep meaning. |
