| Fireplace and room acoustic My virtual system has an RPG fireplace which doubles as an acoustic treatment. | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier But the "waveguide" designs in the Genelec monitors bear very little resemblence to a true constant-directivity spherical or bi-radial "waveguide" horn, in both the theory and the way they behave. Good Discussion. Yes but....horns are different i... | |

| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier The result according to Duke is that sound pressure levels up to 112 dB are reproduced with less than 1 dB of power compression. Although this thread seem to be digressing there have been many excellent comments.Duke's claims are extrodinarily go... | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier It seems to me that the best-sounding speakers are the ones that pay give proper attention to power response, which is indeed rare.Dr. Floyd Toole devotes quite a lot of time to this important aspect in his new book: Sound Reproduction: The Acous... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Eerae,Try this one - it is sexy but also so sadly beautiful Imogen Heap Banket The song is about how music is her escape from the world. So nice to watch Tal on bass - what a talented lass. Although Vinne is amazing - I would have preferred Jeff t... | |
| Bi Amp B&W 803s with 9BSST and 4BST The 4B-ST should go to the bass and the 9B-SST to the mid and tweeter. This should help reduce IMD distortion from the hard driving bass from reaching your midrange. | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier It is always nice to see a good discussion on pros and cons. There is definitely more than one way to skin a cat. I tend to agree with Kirkus about the older generation Genelecs but I happen to like their active newer 8050 and 8020 small monitors.... | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier vibration-prone space will be deleterious to the ultimate sound from the speaker.It certainly would if you used tubes. In that case you can still go active but they would need to be 'outboard' amps dedicated to each driver (this would still make ... | |
| My system is getting worse - now what? ADS L810's are a classic. The soft dome midrange made them popular. I believe Telarc used ADS in their studio before they switched to ATC - although I don't recall the model. An option might be an old pair of JBL 4435's but if you get them for aro... | |
| height to hand absorption foam panels I agree with your plan provided you sit with ears at tweeter height. I would caution about over doing mid range absorption - a lively sound is not necessarily bad if you can keep the speakers at least 3 feet from side walls. Bass traps are usually... | |
| The disappearance of the traditional amplifier As Chad mentions it is cheaper - it is easier to build a higher performance amp with limited bandwidth powering one driver than the same quality performance with very large bandwidth driving several drivers as well as a lossy passive crossover. Us... | |

| Anyone have trouble with Dvorak Stabat on Telarc? I have listened to it and I suspect this is IMD distortion either on the recording or in your inner ear most obvious when you play too loud (harsh sound). So this is probably not your amp or your speakers. I don't have equipment to make measuremen... | |
