| Revelation If you have been conditioned to how your modest system sounds on a particular track/LP then you may indeed be disappointed by a meagbuck system that does it correctly. Many people have excessive muddy but impressive bass and pleasant but recessed ... | |
| Mono VS Stereo Oh dear. I am not sure what to say. You may have an issue with your system or room acoustics - this is absolutely not a normal conclusion. Get some help with your system. I would also have your hearing tested. | |
| Modern twist on 70's speaker design? These still exist but mostly in the realms of the pro world. The wives of most consumers want lifestyle products not ugly boxesHere are a few models to check out:TannoyJBLWestlakeATCPMCMeyerMany models come with 12" and larger woofers - some with ... | |

| Serious Addiction to Gear Can it make you blind? | |
| Over the top Nice choice of gear. You'll be in heaven. Just a word of caution - be careful not to overdrive those awesome speakers. The port is tuned at around 55 HZ - so be careful with any seriously bass heavy stuff (although the woofer excursion may be well... | |
| Anyone have trouble with Dvorak Stabat on Telarc? I haven't received the disc yet but I'll check these even though it seems you have found the problem. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Perhaps the look matters most. A great paint job or veneer, tall and narrow with sloped baffle and loaded with several mass produced shiny metal drivers and impressive copper phase plugs to boot....all sure to impress. What people see is what they... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Jeff, can you give some examples of speakers/speaker companies that are "active" speakers?Examples of companies making active speakers are nearly too many to list here are a few (not exhaustive)MeridianATCPMCB&OKRKAdamK&HNHTMackie JBLTanno... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Wireless200,The key with active speakers is moving the crossover to the line level side of the signal path rather than the high power level. This reduces distortion (capacitors have a sound and especially caps driven with high power signals can ad... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? In my meager experience I would agree with Duke and others about the crossovers. That is truly where the art meets the engineering and can make or break a speaker system. Great point - it is certainly the weakness of many designs - this is where... | |
| What matters most in speaker design? Lesson 2: A flat frequency response is no indicator of how good a speaker sounds. True in that it will not sort out the wheat from the chaff but flat frequency response is a fundamental minimum requirement for accurate reproduction. | |
| What matters most in speaker design? I was thinking about speakers that use relativly cheap drivers, but are executed in a genius enclosure with a good (but not exotic) crossover - and they sound absolutely amazing. Unless the manufacturer starts with high quality drivers then they ... | |
| High power handling speakers JBL 4435 will play very loud. They are a classic and in good condition they will be about $3K. | |
| Why buy cheap speakers?? Steven,Of course you are absolutely right given the extreme examples you listed ($300 cables $300 speakers) but some have more money than sense and honestly have the right to spend their money however they like. I can't say for sure what is the be... |
