| PMC TLE1 vs Velodyne DD-15 vs JL Audio f113 I agree with Ryder - if you have PMC then you need to consider that it is TL design in the bass (not sure what that does to phase - so it makes sense to go with PMC designed matching sub to help avoid potential phase issues). JL audio seems to be ... | |
| Any new ideas on an old theme? Any vibration from the waffling of the cabinet is unwanted, IMHO, but that reflects a design philosophy where the cabinet is not intended to color the sound.Speakers that are built like tanks (heavy damped walls and heavily braced) are less depend... | |
| Studio monitors as Audiophile speakers ATC, PMC Most of the small boxy studio monitors are intended as nearfields and will often have a narrow or controlled dispersion. ATC, PMC and Genelec (newer models like 8050) tend to be wide dispersion and will be better for home.Studio monitors vary in p... | |

| PMC MB2 vs Revel Salon 2 vs Dynaudio Sapphires These are all great speakers. I'd suggest you give more details to help people give suggestions - for example have you heard each of these speakers and what were your initial thoughts? What is most important to you bass or midrange? etc. | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Thomp9015,I am not saying it is a bad driver. At $65 retail (probably less wholesale or in bulk) this is a great and well respected driver and will sound awesome at lower volumes than 97 DB SPL. All I am really saying is not to expect too much - a... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Clapton unplugged.Joan Baez Diamonds and RustPaul Kelly Live 1992John Williams Concerto Aranjuezand pretty much anything by Keb Mo as they are all well recorded - especially Slow down. | |
| ATC SCM100 Anniversary? Dont you find it radiate to much sound presure? No. I find it is quite flat. But I understand why you might think so - many people do. And if you do then I think ATC is the wrong choice for you.Basically it is not your more typical "scooped midra... | |
| ATC SCM100 Anniversary? I don't have the Anniversary but I have the SCM100's (older non SL version). I have heard the SCM100ASL towers and several others in the ATC line. I am not familiar with your gear with ATC but many people use EMMLabs stuff with ATC and your gear i... | |
| Good budget sub for music? DIY is your best option. I'd suggest one of these 308SWR51XXLS or 268SWR5XXLS woofers from Peerless and a heavily braced sealed birch wood box - appropriately sized of course - for example the 308 works with 2.6 cu ft in a sealed configuration ( I... | |
| MBL WITH SUB?? Those lamellas look pretty hard to drive - and I imagine they have to be heavily damped somehow to prevent internal vibrations (a lamella is like a guitar string just much thicker but anything long and narrow and flexible is sure to vibrate) - so ... | |
| Best system used for $10,000 for classical music I said "Beethoven Baby Grand". Fremer liked it a lot, but that doesn't mean a lot. Actually, I think it does mean a lot.I meant to add that their bigger brother is called the "Beethoven Concert Grand". | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Most people are blissfully unaware of compression from speakers. It is possible that your amp was actually putting out around 15 watts during transients and therefore clipping - it is simply that these transients did not translate to the peaks you... | |
