| 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... | |

| Benchmark DAC The Benchmark DAC1 is no longer really a rave product. It came out about seven years ago and was a bit hit in pro audio (yes it was raved about back then) but the fact that it is still popular today suggests it is simply a good product (good sound... | |
| Bass: Dynaudio Confidence C2 vs Contour S5.4 IMHO, you want the 5.4's if you are a closet basshead. | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Ironically, by absorbing bass (below app 125hz, the real problem area), bass busters can actually cause some speakers to sound a bit "fuller" as the mid to upper bass comes back into balance. I quite agree. Let me be clear - Soffit mounting is fa... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Yes that is true. But you still hear the reflections from all of the other walls, including ceiling and floor. Therefore bass and broadband absobtion is still necessary.Bob Absolutely! Great point.However, in the particular example I gave, the "sy... | |
| Benchmark DAC The same question could be asked about any number of products on Audiogon. It makes me laugh when people like Celtic66 say product A will "smoke" product B in something as subjective as musicality.And there is your answer as to why. Audiophiles a... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? notes moving the fundamental AND the partials....I meant REmoving - sorry my typing is always so bad... |
