| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Shadorne,Could you explain what you mean by soffit mount? I think of a soffit as a projection between a ceiling and adjoining wall. In kitchens, cabinets are often hung from soffits.dbSoffit means the speaker is mounted in a wall with the baffle f... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? It doesn't look like something you should do if accuracy and lifelike sound are your goals. LOL. I suppose they are trying to make everything inaccurate and as lifeless as possible in places like theCello Studios Sunset Blvd Hollywood (all three ... | |
| Benchmark DAC They are everywhere. They are cheap. They are good. No surprise really. People try them and then try something else without breaking the piggy bank. They aren't going to solve a room acoustics, a speaker, aesthetics, sound flavor or an amplifier p... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Al,Nice post. It is always pleasant to see a balanced view that does not follow the heavily beaten path of simply pitting digital against analog or tubes against SS! | |
| Watt Puppy that much of an improvement? I agree with Jaybo, I can't see any upgrade in what you propose unless you prefer the "look" of the WP's. | |
| New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor I lived in appartments three times, once in Paris and twice in different cities in Italy. I used Bose.My main equipment was left in cartons.Enough said. | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings OTOH, I'm not sure I'd make it through an hour of partying with George Clinton - and that's a problem, because a P-Funk party never stops.I quite agree - he was the only disappointment (to me) on the entire DVD - thank goodness he only stayed for... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? I have them 39" out from the front wall and if I pull them out more I start to lose body quickly...That sounds about right for loss of mid bass - you will have a big suckout around 100 Hz - see the red curve.That is why I soffit mounted my speake... | |
| Attention Minneapolis Audiophiles There is a potential local opportunity.I have no affiliation with the owner, just happened to stumble on this... | |
| Living Voice vs PMC? The PMC OB1+ does not use the same high quality midrange as in the bigger PMC's - it uses the Vifa D75MX (which is cheap and compresses quite easily). IMHO, better to get a "real" PMC - the ones with their own big 3" dome or an older used PMC mode... | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Do you mean in comparison to other Wilson's like the Watt Puppy? If so then you can see on Soundstage measurement plots that is has a smoother bass response with less of a resonance peak. So perceptively it should sound leaner than WPs. | |
| High end Subwoofer question Since you can do this with Room EQ Wizard or another software I'd say it is more important to choose a high quality sub than to go for features. Many subwoofers are nothing more than excellent harmonic distortion generators. | |
| Uneven speaker cable lengths and cable termination Not necessary. At CES 2008 AJ Conti (Basis Audio) connected one speaker with a 6' length of cable and the other with 75' of cable. Interesting. I do not find that surprising at all - given signals travel close to the speed of light. Provided the ... | |
| Great Sub for NHT Classic Threes? Good suggestion the NHT S-20 might be a good choice. | |
| What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp? It would be nice to know of non-Pass Class A amplifiers that perform well, and why so. ATC make amplifiers with what is probably a sliding bias - you get 2/3 power Class A before it reaches Class AB operating point for the final 1/3 power. I have... |
