| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? You can tune the cello sound with the bow weight - a heavy bow will sound duller and more resonant and a lighter bow will sound thinner and more "reedy". Pretty much every instrument is tweaked - drum sets have pillows and scotch tapes over them -... | |
| Solve on Problem Create Another Help Autodexr,Unfortunately what has probably happened is that you have cleaned up the lower midrange significantly - so you now notice the room modes much more (as they last longer).The sub has a Q of around 0.5 - so this is definitely musical not HT ... | |
| replace a full Cello System? I'd go active ATC SCM 20 and a 0.1/12 sub in an appartment. The Cellos were used in mastering - they have a 3 inch dome midrange - the ATC's 3" dome is probably the highest regarded dome midrange out there and has the same studio pedigree (used by... | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels I plan on consulting with Meniscus, they have been in the business for a long time. I will let them help choose the drivers and design the cross-over and other parts. Now you are talking - glad to hear you are getting some help - this is no easy ... | |
| Used Dunlavy V's - what if they 'break' I have no plans to ever replace these speakers. Good for you! Great speakers - glad to see you have found bliss! | |
| AC/DC Black ice P.S. AC/DC recording quality- miles ahead of the other two AC/DC used ATC for years. Black Ice was done in Vancouver The Warehouse - and the main monitors use ATC midrange. You don't get overly compressed sound from artists like this - you can go... | |
| Sonic difference between 96khz and 192k sampl rate 96 Khz is generally preferred. It would take a lot to explain why but essentially the technology at 192 Khz is pushing it to the point where you may get a slight degradation at this higher sample rate. | |
| "Breathing" of the air There was an audiophile of Peru,Who said play me something quite blue;From his listening chair,He screamed give me air?But his Wife did not have a clue. | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels It would make much more sense to design from scratch just buy the drivers that Bolzano use and copy the dimensions as closely as possible (drivers are usually around $50 each) - DIY clones are common enough (more common for classics though). Never... | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... Almarg,There is another explanation that works too - if the coloration and distortion from the $240 speakers is subjectively preferred to the much better $10K speakers then you have it. After all, hyper compressed rock/pop music may sound more ple... | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... When I first turned on the inexpensive jbl's, they sounded horrible, but after some time improved tremendously? I missed this post....clearly you do have a problem somewhere - it us likely intermittent from what you report. Speakers do not sound ... | |
| Ever discover cheapo speakers actually sound... $240 list price speakers - $30K of gear to feed them and it sounds "decent" compared to your regular main expensive speakers.IMHO, this is highlighting that you might have a problem somewhere or elsewhere. This type comparison should really be "Ni... | |
| Disney Digital 3D- Bolt Great story, great soundJohn Lasseter (Pixar fame) uses Gavin Lurssen for mastering. Gavin uses ATC. Sound is also good on Cars, Toy Story and the many others that Gavin did. | |
| Ultimate test of your system image My experience is that the hardest test is to get these 90 degree sounds L and R AND ALSO get a perfect centralized tightly centered vocals from Roger Waters and the woman singing on Track 3. The centered vocals should appear small and natural - no... | |
| benchmark and apogee Do the embedded ATC's give decent imaging and localization of instruments?Jeff,Yes and No. Let me explain. If you mount speakers in a cabinet or wall - it is essential to build a frame around the speakers in order to make a smooth tranistion betwe... |
