| Why are most High End Amps class A the ML-2s were like a high-maintainance chick that looked gorgeous on your arm, but didn't know how to have fun when you got home and turned the lights out.Kirkus,How about a design that runs Class A to two thirds power? Is that like a gorgeous ch... | |
| Monitors for Extreme Near-field listening I second Macrojack, these computer speakers will out perform many main systems when coupled with S-20 subwoofer and a good DAC.Chuck Ainlay uses them (ever heard of Dire Straits - yep Chuck is Mark Knopfler's man behind the meter bridge) - check o... | |
| Best speaker for vocals What are opinions on a speaker that is known for its midrange? Quad esl 57HarbethATCare all well known for midrange quality. I want the most realistic vocals. I have read that Harbeth Super HL5 may be the ticket but it is not full range and ther... | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon Onhwy61,Yeah. Nice post and I'd add that the "large number" is a the majority IMHO. Plenty of great advice to be found here. | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop... I played it once - not sure what all the fuss is about - too laid back for my tastes I guess (I like dynamic feel of live instruments). FWIW: Maceo Parker "Roots & Grooves" Live is definitely worth buying if you like live sound with great horn... | |
| Stacked Bookshelf Speakers -- Perplexing Nirvana? By combining, I can dial-in the sound perspective and degree of involvement, but usually keep the two sources balanced.Perhaps you have two poor speakers (bowl and dome) that happen to complement eachother and also compensate for a floor placemen... | |
| Subwoofer for ATC scm ?? I'd suggest an SVS PB13Ultra with all the ports sealed might be your best bet (based on what I have seen of its performance measurements - so be warned I haven't experimented with this combo) If you can find one used then it will be close to your ... | |
| Coldplay on Quad 988 Coldplay are compressed. Not as bad as Arctic Monkeys but compressed nevertheless. Look up "Loudness Wars" on google. I like Coldplay but like many fans we have to put up with sound that works best on a car system.. | |
| Room EQ I use Fuzzmeasure with a Behringer ECM8000 and E-Mu 0404 USB Mike amp - it is a very similar setup to Room Eq Wizard. Measurement plots are displayed on my virtual system. I use it for bass calibration to the sub only - speakers are run full range... | |
| Help What's Wrong with my System Abruce,A big room can be disconcerting - for starters you lack the congestion you get in a small room so everything is much cleaner and you can crank it louder and it will not sound nearly as loud (room reverb decays much faster) - this will pose ... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? I'm no Violin player but we have a young virtuoso in B.C. Canada Ms. Choi. And she claims her Stradaveri can never be made again because of global warming. (won't get the right kind of growth for the wood)If you believe that piffle then you'll pro... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? My cables get criticized all the time by people who have not heard my system. Nothing but Gold or Silver will do for some people. Ordiniary wires seem ok to my tin ears though | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. There is probably some curve you can draw where the cost of accurately reproducing bass notes increases geometrically with lower frequency, requiring increasing quantities of power, woofer area and box volume and bracing. Yes, exactly.As for dece... | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. When I asked about bass (speakers having full bass response) the salesman (who owns the shop) said "If you want bass you have to shell out the big bucks."Is that it?Is it necessary to spend $1000 per speaker or over to have audible, palpable, app... | |
