| proac sound vs coincident sound Is ProAc cold and analytical? Does it require tubes to be listenable? Kind of. Definitely tilted that way, of course, it is all a matter of taste. Jack Sprat could eat no fat while his wife could eat no lean. Are Proac speakers "unlistenable" ? -... | |
| liquid sound "Liquid sound" is very similar to banking, IMHO. It means loose and easy credit. Just like a loose and easy speaker. One thinks of the old naval term "three-sheets to the wind". So it would be the opposite of a system with control and precision - ... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? I'd really wonder how sensitive one could be to a seat-of-pants judgement on the boost in power on a 50cc scooter of, perhaps 1 hp in some part of the throttle range?! Exactly. That is why travelling the same route daily with two identical scoote... | |
| jm lab grand utopia be--- any thoughts ? Ozy,I am not familiar with the Nova but I have listened extensively to a well setup Alto - let me say these are indeed awesome speakers. However, if I am nit picky then I share your concerns about the bass - that was pretty obvious from the get go... | |
| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? Wonderful_electric,That is also a good suggestion - certainly it woudl be easy to borrow another amp and test again at these low levels even a 20 watt amp would be more than enough. In "theory" Class A is better at very low volume levels. That is ... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? BTW it was because of the press and my limited talks with the Benchmark makers that sent me away from previewing that piece altogether Blindjim,Interesting comment based on our discussion about one of the primary drivers for purchase decisions is... | |

| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? How do you connect your atc´s ? bi-wiring? My passive 20's are the old kind with no biwire posts ('95 model). I run monster cable from the power amp to the binding post - no spades on either end but everything good and tight.The reason I warn you... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? Isn't there a book about this - something like "Zen and the Art of Audio Equipment Maintenance"? | |
| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? Avocet can be similar than benmarch but avocet is far superior used in hundred of mastering roomsI did not mean to imply Avocet is comparable in quality to DAC1 - I just read Bob Katz review thats all. I don't know this Avocet at all - so I simpl... | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? And Obama is the President. One night, a Boeing 747 was flying above Glasgow. On board were five people: the pilot, Amar, Omar, the Imam, and a rather high (in several ways, after just winning the US election) Obama. Suddenly, a loud explosion was... | |

| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? Powerstudio,You appear to be working at quite low SPL's (far less than 70 db). At lower levels it should be nearly all midrange and as you go higher in SPL the treble and bass should become more prominent. Something is indeed unusual or plain wron... | |
| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? BTW, ATC and Bel Canto make a marvelous combination. I haven't tried so I really can't say either way - although Bel Canto has the power needed and it is a respected brand. I think the dealer above is mostly concerned about Class D amp design and... | |
| ATC scm 19 upgrade ?? atc don´t sound good at low levels and my home studio is very small. So you like the neutrality, accuracy, dynamics, image and soundstage but something is obviously wrong at low levels? Is it the lack of bass from the sealed box? Is it something ... |
