| Subwoofer beginner question? Yes but makes sure it is low Q. Since most manufacturers do not publish this then simply go large sub sealed box - since ports resonate you should advoid them as it will add volume without the transient dynamic pressure you seek. (think of a port ... | |
| high end jbl or horns or emerald physics c1 I'd check out Westlake BBSM 12 - these will have you smiling and rocking out - used around $3K. | |
| Musicians? FWIW - it just so happens that on this very page right now - there are comments on four systems all with Evolution Acoustics MM3's. I haven't heard one yet but I 'd hazard a guess that drums sound pretty good on them (they have what it takes...)! | |
| Musicians? My axe is a 1927 Luigi Mozzani. I've never heard a music reproduction system capable of producing the actual timbre, depth, power and lush sound of a violin. There is a good explantion about this problem from Dr. Floyd Toole in his recent book ab... | |
| Musicians? I have yet to find a system (that I can afford) that reproduces drums with the visceral impact of the real thing That is quite normal with consumer speakers. You really need to look into pro main monitors. The kind of speakers you see built into ... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Try listening to Black Eyed Peas Live DVD from Sydney to Vegas on a surround system - the Sydney concert is a good demonstration of what can be achieved. Like two channel listening - what is out there is a mixed bag, however, done well, multi-chan... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing Here is an anecdotal explanation on why downfiring gives a smoother response in the 100 to 300 Hz range. This is quite an old discovery. The technical explantion is "quarter wave cancellation", which I gave above. I checked out REL's design (uses ... | |
| What is with B&W these days? soundbars, ipod doc.. B&W marketing has been their primary forte from day one. This looks like a clever move to me. | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing For a real laugh look at HT Shack, where they test subs intended to be woofer downward next to a wall [RELs] in a parking lot with the woofer pointing to the side. FWIW - Ilkka Rissanen, who conducted those "laughable" tests, recently got a job w... | |
| How to treat room acoustics? Retail sources? GIK corner Tri-traps are just the ticket - you don't want to deaden the room any further with too many panels just add some big broadband absorbers in the corners.... | |
| woofer combo & alignments: on large vs few small Actually it is simple, when a big woofer barks the many small woofers yelp and run away with their tails between their legs ;-) | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps And it is great to see young girls like Stefanie Heinzmann with so much soul & funk | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Fergielicious has a delicious voice too. She is impressive live. She gives me goose humps. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Joan Baez - Diamonds and Rust - a great demo recording, never fails to give goosebumps. | |
| musical small sub for B&W 805s's The problem with larger woofers is that they are slower than smaller ones. I am not sure where this concept started but there are many who share this view. IMHO, the single biggest factor in fast or slow designs is the speaker Q or resonance. Ove... |
