| 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... | |
| which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system? I agree with Bob, again. Another example would be a new NHT M-00 and a S-20 and NHT PVC for $900 and then add a CD player - surely your friend has a CD player already? If not there are many decent CD players that you could pick up used or on sale ... | |
| How do you train your ears? I think there are two separate things "knowledge of sonics and sound" and "music appreciation". They are different. For example The Alton Everest book will allow you to train your ears to recognize what is wrong with a system. It teaches you about... | |
| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? Might a smallish one, in wattage terms (ex: Naim, Sugden, LFD) sound better than a bigger one ( ex: Krell, Musical Fidelity) with the sensitive AND less sensitive speakers, or do the insensitive speakers always need more wattage, in order to have... | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers Agree with Bob, again. | |
| AVM 20 or AVM 30 vs Mid-Fi Yamaha Receiver I have an AVM 20 and it is fine. Good solid AtoD and DtoA converters - you will probably get a little jitter on digital inputs though (just because of the interface) - but the analog direct is clean and the volume control is superb (resistor netwo... |
