| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound I think Harbeth will be less fatiguing than ATC. If you want a warmer sound and don't mind giving up a little in "excitement" and effortless dynamics on big band, hard rock or large orchestral and percussion then I think you'll be better served by... | |
| Has anyone ever cried listening to your system Yes, not often but I'll admit to it - music really does move me - it is probably why I tend to stick to happy music! I wouldn't have it any other way. If you can't feel it that deeply then you are obviously missing something. LIfe is too short to ... | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings Does the Maceo crowd here own Roots and Grooves? The extended version of "Pass The Peas" is about as funky as it gets. In my book, anyway.I have been enjoying this disc again recently. I dug out the jewel case and found the reason why it is so Fu... | |
| Treating a small room with diffusers? It is an excellent idea to look at acoustics...but where do you sit? So many sit with a wall right behind their head - if that is the case then start by finding a better listening position.FWIW - Broadband is the most effective treatment in any sp... | |
| Hi-End for Black Metal? Shadorne,Black Metal is much more extreme than AC/DC. I guess you have to be a certain kind of guy to like this music. YEah I realized I can't realy help you in your genre - BTO "Not Fragile" is about as far as I ever went - wimpy stuff I know. F... | |
| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound Now I realize why my PMC speakers, although rated to go down to 35Hz with a puny 4" woofer can sometimes sound a little forced when pumping out huge chunks of bass.That is always the challenge with bass from small boxes it doesn't matter whether ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for death metal... JBL 4430's (used of course) | |
| Speaker cable for ATC scm 7,11,19 ?? I suspect bi-wiring will be better if you also bi-amp. Otherwise it is really a wash (as you are shorting the wires at the amp end anyway). | |
| Hi-End for Black Metal? Everybody loves ACDC - well maybe in moderation - but it is damn near impossible not to like the rockers from downunder - if that is what you mean?What is "Black Metal"? Can you give some examples? There are plenty of Porcupine Tree and Metallica ... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Commcat,While I disagree with you that there was no real progress up to the mid 80's - culminating in digital audio (I actually think there was progress). I tend to agree with you that music was probably better sounding (on average) in the 50's th... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? It didn't - it has actually become more immature since the mid 80's. First it started with the "small speaker big sound" and now most Hi-Fi is nothing more than a narrow elegant speaker (made in China) with impressive Boom Boom Tizz (usually with ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2 FWIW - I think you are on the right track if you are having bass problems and desire something "tighter" sounding. The VS speakers are reknowned for their impressive bass but that is not always great if you can't discern the mid bass and lower mid... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2 Ryan,These are both very good speakers. My suggestion and it is only a suggestion - would be to go for the studio and add a good quality sub. This will best arm yourself to tackle the bass problems in your room which may require some greater freed... | |
| Speaker wire guage for surround rear speakers If you use good 8 Ohm speakers (no nasty impedance dips) then regular wire is probably still Ok for surrounds. If you use the all too common 4 ohm variety speaker (it may say 8 Ohm on the box but is it really 8 Ohm?) then you'd best go with some h... | |
| Best CD Sheffield Labs Drum track on XRCD - cranked of course - jaw dropping dynamics - perfect for people who simply do not "get" or understand the audiophile hobby and never would from listening to something nice like Jennifer Warnes or Diana Krall (rem... |
