| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values if DALs have a narrow dispersion then why is distance and angle from the sidewalls so critical, as well as the reflectivity of these walls? Precisely because they have narrow dispersion!Narrow dispersion speakers, when listening far-field, are ty... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values DAL's have narrow dispersion. You need to pay precise attention to exactly where you position your head when listening and making A/B comparisons. A few inches may change what you hear when listening critically. Typically it is recommended to plac... | |

| Time to change. But to what? WOW. I actually heard some things I didn't know were there on the Telarc recording of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. Pretty impressive. Not sure which version you heard but this Romeo & Juliet was done using ATC speakers - if you like that k... | |
| The space between the speakers Here is a good example of what to do: Eric's System In this case the speakers are slightly in front of the edges of the screen - this means there is no edge diffraction from a sharp edge, as the TV vertical edges are in the acoustic shadow of the ... | |
| The space between the speakers All great comments above. Compromises are a fact of life.If you can get the speakers at least 12 inches forward and a couple of feet between the edge of the TV and the side of the speaker then it will be negligible and if you throw a thick blanket... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Actually, I found that plugs make a bigger difference than does the actual cable. Absolutely agree. When I put the ear plugs in I can no longer hear my wife screaming at me. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Shadorne...If a cable causes a pulse risetime anomaly (such as a spike) it will happen for every pulse. All will be delayed or trigered early by the same amount, so jitter is not the result. What if the shape of the leading edge changes according... | |
| Article in LA Times about new "CODE" format This is just the higher resolution 24/96 PCM two channel format. It should play in any DVD player or Blu-ray player. This is likey the format used in the studio (although they might use 24/192 in the studio). In any case, there will be no further ... | |
| JVC XRCD versus SACD I am comparing their performance {XRCDs vs CD) in modernly recorded album{eg.Audiophile voices}. That may explain it. I doubt they get anything but the master tapes. If the master tapes are of jazz or clasical and already of very high quality son... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Wire properties can certainly affect digital pulse characteristics. But, up to the point where a data "one" can be misinterpreted as a "zero" pulse characteristics don't affect the information which goes into the D/A converter. So I don't find it... | |
| changing overall tone Aren't these speakers supposed to go with a sub?You may be missing the oompf of the bass and therefore it sounds lifeless. | |
| JVC XRCD versus SACD I have had mixed results with HDCD some great some bad. The few JVC XRCD titles I have are all absolutely excellent.I think it mostly has to do with the care taken in the mastering process. Of course when JVC start with master tapes from Sheffield... | |
| Vienna Acoustics or Proac Have you considered Revel Concerta F12? (Better value IMHO given what you are looking for) | |
| High quality music server on the cheap...sort of Nice. Welcome to the club of those enjoying music rather than fiddling with sleeves/jewel cases and feeding the machines like a factory worker.When I get home I want to relax. From my couch I can select any CD from any of four megachangers and hav... |
