| Want to accept the Harbeth 7's, but... If you play loud or at close to realistic levels then I doubt the compact speaker can keep up with the Meadowlark's.Nothing wrong with the Harbeth's but basically most good large box three ways are going to defeat a good small box two way in terms... | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc Tvad,You are right - not all Silverline are laid back.I was in particular thinking of the "scooped midrange" on these or these. And the harmonics in the bass here, which will add warmth.I have not heard your speakers but they are sometimes favorab... | |
| Stranded vs singal core conductors and skin effect Musicnoise,I could not agree more with your statement above. We live in a highly unethical modern world of sophisticated snake oil (couched in science). Audio cables are just a tiny microcosm of the problem. You have TV adds now (that governments ... | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc Shoe, add Silverline speakers to your list | |
| Source for extent of compression for CD's Sorry - there is no easy answer or way to measure/define this on CD's, labels. In terms of speakers, go for designs with pro type drivers. | |
| Amp Stands, Butcher Blocks Etc. Zar,Since you don't appear to have tubes or a TT - vibration control is probably a mute point. Why not go with what the wife wants...I see no reason to go in this direction other than for macho display purposes...just two cents. | |
| UltraNoob: Studio monitors or hi fi speakers? Is it possible to use hi fi speakers for home recording studio monitors? Upside: Cheap, look niceDownside: Be careful, as you can blow them up very easily with the dynamics from your recordings and live instruments/microphones. ( remember media s... | |
| gallo 3.1 repair I did blow three mid-drivers when I was hosting a party and we were, ahem, performing karaoke over them. My wife still laughs at the thought of seeing smoke puff from the dust caps mid-peformance. I returned them to Gallo, which confirmed that th... | |
| Current Faves that "Swing"? I have the Cambridge 840C, and it really IS a terrific player, but it is also a bit rhythmically slow, so a waltz doesn't quite have that ONE-two-three, ONE-two-three rhythm. LOL - rhythm cannot be adjusted. A more dynamic system will allow the a... | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc Now, I guess I'm like Shadorne describes--if not a few stages beyond--you young guys can have your "wow" factor...I want my music like a warm bath Exactly. And nothing wrong with that. It is a preference that is totally valid. From what you say I... | |
| Is anyone using FuzzMeasure? Drubin,Thanks - it does not mention if it controls any MIDI devices. The advantage of Room EQ wizard is that it is adatped to work the the FBQ2496...Anyone here tried Room Eq wizard on a Mac? I have all the gear just have not found time to play wi... | |
| Nearfield speakers for rock/amplified music? I am using the Genelec 7050 subwoofer with my 1029 monitors, no bass complaints. Would the less expensive NHT system be an improvement? Certainly of equal quality. The NHT's are more emotional for sure - warmer than the Genelec's. | |
| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound I have to say that the Harbeths handle it ALL very well. I agree. It is indeed an outstanding speaker.My point that they don't go very loud and that the warm bass (which is so nice at lower levels) can be overwhelming at higher levels is in the c... | |
| Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in So how come Stereophile and Absolute Sound never review these products? I think they tend to give priority of reviews to companies that give them advertizing revenues - after all Stereophile is not a charity it is actually in business to make you... | |
| Nearfield speakers for rock/amplified music? NHT S-00 and NHT M-00 - you can find these new for $750 and you can adjust the presentation for your listening setup (being in a corner you may want to move the sub out a bit). The sub will allow you to dial in more bass for emotional energy. I am... |
