| Buying Bookshelves, I love B&W but.... my experience is that the mids are a bit compressed, less open and detailed.That is pretty standard for most speakers. It is called the BBC dip. Technically the speakers are scooped in the midrange in their power response (combined on axis and of... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital From what I've read, it appears there is a consensus in our community that a high-quality analog rig playing a good pressing will beat a top notch digital system playing a well-recorded and mastered CD. That Vinyl is better than Digital is indeed... | |

| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? i want to be knocked out of my chair and for my wife to finally say "yeh that sounds better, so what". i do not mean an exagerated bottom end but to be real acurate enjoyable fantastic sound! To be knocked out of your chair when your previous spe... | |
| What to do, next? I have been waiting for the obvious "perfect entry point" into the world of digital video switching, but alas, I think it will never come. I keep checking on this. If you are prepared to wait a couple more years then the prices should come down a... | |

| speakers for classical music Duke,Thanks - I figured that might be the case - the dirty rotten cheats ;-) (all is fair in marketing!)It was however hard to find links to solid examples that show that compression really is a big issue. Perhaps I chose the wrong example.It woul... | |
| speakers for classical music Another example, on the subject of compression, in this case "ringing" may rob the midrange of dynamic range Stereophile Review. Ringing also reduces the contrast or sharpness in transients which is why Quad 57's are cherished (with its nice water... | |
| speakers for classical music I DO sit near-field due to my room shape and the furniture layout Absolutely not a problem then. This is why consumer speakers tend to go with the lower cost drivers (pro drivers with large voice coils sound no better at low volumes than consumer... | |
| speakers for classical music I'm only wondering how much of a real world factor it is with high quality, high fidelity speakers. On compressed pop/rock and especially the more modern stuff on CD; Green Day/Red Hot Chilli's/Metallica/Artic Monkeys/Kooks/most remasters and tho... | |
| speakers for classical music I hope the last post I made above was at least useful to one or two people or perhaps it was another case of my misguided efforts to explain something that is largely falling on "deaf ears".They say "ignorance is bliss" and it may be so for the ma... | |
