| 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... | |
| Best Live Recording on LP david gilmour live in gdansk has to be up there as one of the best live lps Oilmanmojo,You can listen to how they mixed that concert for DVD (which is awesome too) here with Andrew Jackson's interview at David Gilmour's Studio.(Andrew Jackson was... | |
| 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... | |
| an equipment poll What strikes me is that audio seems to be the only field of human endeavor in which there is absolutely no limit to how absurd and outlandish something can beHow about Anthropogenic Global Warming nonsense espoused by many "scientists"? (Ice caps... | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? Totem Mani-2 - probably the deepest bass excursion in a small speaker - good bass too. (I know it is not a floorstander but it will sound like one - on stands of course) | |

| whats more important-speaker or pre-amp cable? I second Newbee' good advice. | |
| musical fidelity a3.2 blown left channel, repair? The voice coils probably overheated and started chaffing and eventually arced to ground this probably overheated and blew the output transistor(s) in one channel on your amp. You should get the amp repaired - the speakers will need new drivers but... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Yeah I'm with Gregm - the Guarneri is the most neutral and transparent of SF speakers and a real gem. |
