| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? I'd say you are at the minimum power that you would want. The problem with ATC is that they play very cleanly (low distortion) without effort and, as a result, there is always a tendency to increase the volume. A NAD M3 would go well with those sp... | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings I am going to sound like a broken record....but the film "My first name is Maceo" is sonically a masterpiece (DVD with 5.1 and Stereo) and extremely infectious live funk: Pee Wee Willis, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley are supremely impressive in thi... | |
| This funny It's akin to a commercial lawn mower intended for use 8 hours a day five days a week versus a residential mower designed for 1or 2 hours once a week.Onhwy61,Good analogy. "Horses for Courses" - each designed for a different job. | |
| Replacing speakers in Lat-1's There are a few manufacturers that allow upgrades in consumer audio - although it is not al that common in speakers. Merlin speakers comes to mind. ATC also, if you bought an ATC 100 in the early 90's, it would have an older design woofer and an o... | |
| How do you train your ears? For getting started (complete beginner) I'd suggest the basic audio course by Alton Everest: "Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals". | |

| This funny A pro driver will look beefy when you pop it out - Like these small 3 inch drivers, the one on the left with a 7" & 18 pound magnet . If you place the smaller pro 3 inch driver along side a tweeter you get the idea of "beef". Now if you think... | |
| This funny For the money the speakers cost to purchase Krell should of gave them to me for free. I think that is unfair to Krell...the aluminum cabinets are EXTREMELY expensive...especially if you consider the small sales volumes of this a higly exclusive '... | |
| This funny I was able to order it localy from a company...it costed 60.00!!?? a 60.00 woofer out of a 10,000 pair of speakers!! That is why consumer speakers look "stunning"! Cheap drivers but beautiful (and expensive) cabinets. Partly they must fulfill an ... | |

| Speaker to be used with PC I second Bob's suggestions, however, you are talking high quality with NHT and sound that is on par with most people's main systems.The Paradigm Active 20's are also a great choice.Both are main system killers or at least competitive with most mains. | |
| This funny Radrog,Thats quite normal - it is a perfectly good tweeter (Vifa XT25TG30). Tweeters don't do much - despite all the fuss people tend to make. Hopefully you have good expensive midrange and bass woofers, as that matters a great deal - good starts ... | |
| Sub users... will not be using the subs with W/P's Oops sorry - if they make a matching sub then I'd recommend that. In the meantime, I found a good example of what typically happens to phase and group delay in different type designs of bass response. It is w... | |
| Sub users... Can you expalin possible negative effects of running the mains full range? Possible problems are matching the large LF phase swings in your mains (due to the double ported design) and/or too much bass at some frequencies.FWIW: I use the sub to fi... | |
| Best Powered Monitors There is a comment in this thread that hi-end enthusiasts don't usually like pro audio components. Why is that? They tend to be revealing, harsh, clinical and inflexible - often designed to hear into the mix. They make an excellent choice for cri... |
