| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Dgad, It is funny how ATC & PMC have not been as successful in the US as other companies. You need to hear one of their "ugly" three ways playing Sheffield Labs drum tracks in order to immediately understand why pros go for them. They are defi... | |
| speakers for classical music Lighter materials are inherently faster and more re-active Inuitively it would seem that way. However materials need to be rigid as well. In order to make something light and rigid at the same time you end up with something that "rings like a bel... | |
| System Building 101 Lets hope that it becomes even more informative . The people who will read a technical thread like the one you allude to are generally those that are probably already on the right path towards 'common sense' great sounding systems already (no matt... | |
| speakers for classical music MC402 appears to have a damping factor of 40. This may be too low for Vienna speakers. worth listening too. . . but I suspect result may be a little woolly. G. ...but 40 is fairly high enough (I mean not a lot of difference between 40 and 400 dam... | |
| Review: REL Acoustics Britannia B-1 Subwoofer One distinguishing feature of the older REL subs is that they generally all have low group delay (sealed box). This is at the expense of higher ouput capability but is probably responsible for the "musical" sound. (the 12 db/octave roll off actual... | |
| System Building 101 I hope that other knowledgable people will join in with their expertise to make this thread sort of a one stop source for learning about system component compatibility The most important ingredient is common sense. Unfortunately, newcomers to the... | |
| Computer Speakers Under $200? If you want the best then NHT M00 and S00 is hard to beat.Chuck Ainlay uses them and Chuck is recognized as one of the top sound engineers in the world.You did say "best"...the only danger you face is that your PC may sound as good or better than ... | |
| I just don't get PC Audio I am just not getting it, other than the two (some may say only one) pros I listed above, why else would an audiopile get a computer audio front end??? It is certainly not cheaper, in fact it is most likely way more. I agree with you - however pr... | |
| Celestion for 2008? I agree with Jaybo - I would add that latest Martin Logans are pretty good in this department - low level play with nice mids - they seem to have integrated the conventional woofer well with the narrow curved panel design (gets excellent dispersion). | |
| speakers for classical music What are good models and manufacturer's for actives? Genelec 8050A - you may find these at your local music or guitar shop - they will probably be close to the best of the active near fields mini-monitors you can audition at a pro music store (wh... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? IMHO, hi-fi has become so good and cheap since 50's that there is almost no such thing as low or mid fi around anymore (at least not in your average middle class home). Digital has been the great democratizer - simplifying things with high quality... | |
| speakers for classical music If the speaker can stand up to those sources without stressing, without distorting, without sounding stuffy or wooly, and deliver the full dynamics, transients and bandwidth, it'll be a very special speaker. The best ones I've heard for this have... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic "You can listen at 100db and not even know you are listening so loud. No distortion etc. And everything remains stable in space with a transparency that is hard to believe." ATC, PMC will do it and so will some horns and several other high end de... | |
| speakers for classical music I am now totally off B&W speakers, because I kept destroying them! I had the 803D. David,If you like to drive speakers loud and particuarly realistic dynamics/spl then this is generally what happens. Go horns or pro speakers would be my sugge... | |
| best 4.5" midrange drivers under $1K Cdc,SPL level is 20 * Log (Absolute THD) - therefore ATC would appear at 60 db SPL down if it were on the same kind of SPL plot. For 0.1% THD you get = 20 * Log (0.001) = 60 db SPL. This may cause all the confusion in the comparison. There is very... |
