| 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... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Eweedhome,Thanks for the comments. I am trying to learn more about drumming (got a V drums set recently). I need to take Ringo seriously it would seem.I need to get Thrust - good suggestion. I gave Head Hunters a lot of play time when I was heavil... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Dave Grohl - best of the modern hard hitters I agree with your taste - especially Dave Grohl - innovative. | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW $20,000 - I think.BTW - Tom - nice choice of music for your review. | |
| 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... | |
| How To Add A Sub To B&W N802's The simplest may be to get a Y adaptor to take your preamp outs to the sub and your mains.Since you have large floorstanders then I would run them full range and use the sub to fill in just the bottom octave.The issue you will face is room modes..... | |
| Subwoofer damping Crossover Frequency 50Hz, 80Hz, 110Hz high pass With a 12 db slope this will be down 12 db at 25 HZ and down 24 db at 12.5 Hz...As I mentioned, this filter look like it was designed for the feed to main speakers. 50Hz-140Hz adjustable low-pass fil... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Azmoon,I will listen to those tracks you suggest - it seems you always learn something new here - thanks. | |
| speakers for classical music When you've all the strings going, the brass playing at it's most brilliant and the percussion pounding away, many systems lose track of the character of each instrument and instead present a homogenized, loud, stressful mess. That would be typic... | |
| How To Add A Sub To B&W N802's Assuming you plan to use bass management (TACT, PARC or some such device for room modes) then go for it. I am not familiar with B&W subs and they may include thus feature. Otherwise you may find room modes iompressive but too much for good two... | |
| Subwoofer damping Interesting.......the NHT X2 should provide the needed flexibility I am not familiar with it. However a word of caution - I don't see high pass for removing ultra LF on the specifications. "50 Hz" is the lowest high pass filter which sounds like ... |
