Forward sounding speakers that Rock
There is a world of difference between "sound reinforcement" pro speakers and those used for mastering or main monitoring. It is a valid concern (raised above) that most pro rock speakers are only "fun" and not High-end. Generally this is true.The... 
Forward sounding speakers that Rock
As John suggests horns are a great idea for rock. Le Studio (Andre Perry & Nick Blagona) in Quebec was where many Rush albums were done including Moving Pictures. In the early 80's, bands like Police and Rush would have heard themselves played...

The 802D is designed with a hump in the bass and a scooped midrange. It is a great choice for rock. Rush moving pictures is one of their best. Originally mastered on ATC's by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in NY (if you are like me then you have an old ... 
Toyota Camry LE has a Pretty Good Sound System
Nice review! I doubt audio matters in determining your choice of vehicle though. FWIW Stock Prius is lousy. Stock 4runner is poor but 4runners have a lot of running noise (latest models are not as bad and sound systems are better). Landcruiser has...

Just wanted to say Happy Holidays , hope you get over yourself so that you will hear the music too!! And you guys too - those on both sides of the fence - those with ordinary cables and those with expensive ones - I believe Baroque has installed H... 
ATC active or Tannoy TD12?
It was a great period - studio productions cost millions - the engineering quality was amazing - I am not sure we will ever get that again - great dynamics. You tend to only get the dynamics with dance genre these days - Kaskade etc. This slams to...

Alan uses 79 Strand copper I recommend that too. Great speaker wire - you get nice contact at the binding posts and very flexible - no stress on connectors.

Super Analog sound of Three Blind Mice 
Best Inexpensive Subwoofer
I am not saying these amazing bargains do not sound great and punchy - I am just pointing out that reproducing 20Hz at reasonable SPL without copious amounts of distortion is nigh impossible from a small device -it is usually tough to achieve even...

Baroque_Lover,I wonder if anyone will take you up on your offer to make a test with a friend?I recall that Mike Lavigne did this exact type test about a year ago and was unable to pick one good cable over another good cable using his own system wh... 
Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros
Great choice Harbeth Compact 7. but didn'y you want a floorstander? 
ATC active or Tannoy TD12?
Oh yes - New Order - I remember them well - Blue Monday in particular. I have many of these singles. Girl's just want to have fun was snappy too - I have that on single version too. And, of course, "I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City...."Sorry I mi... 
Best Inexpensive Subwoofer
Maybe it's my imagination, but we seem to be living in the golden age of subwoofers. IMHO, the economics of high end loudspeakers are really being transformed by these developments. I agree things are getting incredibly cheap now that most everyt... 
AC/DC Black ice
Bongofury,I looked at Capzles - neat stuff - kind of like Time Machine or iphoto on mac taken to the web - what a great tool for pulling everything together.

Al,There is another way to look at it. Since technically speaking there is no reason to assume one cable should be any better than another (given your caveats on gauge, properties etc.) then one can conclude that differences are most likely due to...
