| speakers for classical music So combine performance levels around 110dB with speakers that easily reach 105 to 110dB and there's no 20dB of lost dynamic range. I don't think I am exaggerating. I don't think you will find many dynamic speakers that easily do what you say (may... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? Kurt,Sir Speedy's advice is good. Sealed boxes are usually better in bass transient response ( less bass but generally tighter and more accurate ).If all you are missing is that last bit of bass response then why not get a sealed sub like a JL F11... | |
| Second harmonics distortion? Chris,It may be the recording - studios will add euphonics to voices to give them a richer or fuller sound. It is impossible to say. This is one of the reasons there is so much confusion or misinformation in audio. Naturally everyone tries to draw... | |
| speakers for classical music Once rid of artificial loudness cues, the normal urge is to turn up the volume. Absolutely! Distortion is what makes 99% of systems sound extremely loud when they are not. Either distortion from the system itself or distortion on the recording it... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 compared to Merlin VSM ? Rgs92,In passive, I'd suggest SCM19 or SCM20 used (try to get the SL version). The bigger models are better active - so I wouldn't go passive with any of them. | |
| Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa? I tried to find out about Miss Audiophile Nervosa. Who is she? The name sounds Italian and might be the ideal companion for an audiophile. Ooops ... I forgot I'm married already....scratch that one. | |
| gallo 3.1 repair Get them fixed by Gallo. FWIW - that driver is well known to be delicate - if you like to listen loud at realistic levels then it might be wise to fix it and get another speaker more suited to being driven hard... | |

| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital i have one question. if you had been there and heard it; checked and rechecked your gear; and then heard it again.....would you then believe it? Well I would naturally be alarmed and would want to investigate further. High end pro digital recordi... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital the fact is that even at 386khz with a 32 bit word length it is easy to hear the shortcommings of digital's attempt to reproduce music compared to vinyl.just listen. Yeah but that is all because of the tourmaline hair dryer tweak, which gives Vin... | |
| Buying Bookshelves, I love B&W but.... You seem to like warm speakers. Harbeth or Silverline speakers. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Jeff,Here is a commentary on the misconceptions in the wired article. It tries to point out there is most likely a subjective basis for preferences.For those who have a DSP preamplifier with any half decent DAC's from the past ten years, I would s... | |
| Digital processor I use a behringer FBQ2496 - it works fine - I just use it on the sub to add some room mode notch filters and that is all (as I run my speakers without any EQ.) | |
| Harbeth SHL5 compared to Merlin VSM ? If you want purity in midrange and tight bass then add ATC to your audition list. Your choices above seem good - Harbeth's are warm and the bass response leans to the loose side of the spectrum but it may make many of your recordings pleasant soun... | |
| Most improved players? John Taylor - sounds pretty ham fisted on some early stuff but the guy was self taught - he got better and put funk back into pop for a while nice grooves with ghost notes. |
