| High End system sounding Terrible???? Onemug,Good one - that was my thought immediately. Nothing below 80 HZ would sound as was described - it is an easy mistake to make. | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause Depending on the order of the mode and type (Axial, Tangential or oblique) you will get peaks and troughs at different places across the room. The worst effects are when these combine at th elistening position.Some things go across the entire roo... | |
| How can a subwoofer expand the soundstage? I second Kenk168 | |
| 10 percent for cables ??? 10% is good maximum budget guideline - although you can spend a lot less and it will often be just fine. If you have spent more than this on all your cables and interconnects then you might have been better served by upgrading components /speakers... | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause If it is fairly consistent across the room then it could be woofer to floor and ceiling height effect (quarter wave cancellation) - a down firing subwoofer crossed over at 90 Hz might help. FWIW a null/suckout at 165 Hz is not too bad provided it ... | |

But I don't have a problem with "electronic processing and amplification" being all part and parcel of modern mus... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? I have enjoyed small venues like that but in no way is that 5.1 audio. Well what about the ambient venue energy (from behind and sides) and the sounds of people behind you. The particular recording I linked to is available on DVD and on BD and it... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years To audiofeil's point - it is all about preferences in this hobby.Exactly - the hobby is nothing more than fashion or fad. | |

| Harbeth HL-5 or Dynaudio special 25 Take a look at this threadAs far as I am concerned these are both great speakers. The bass on the special 25 is a bit "one-note" to my mind but I imagine most people will actually prefer it to the Harbeth. | |
