| best 4.5" midrange drivers under $1K If you use accuton that low then I'd use two per speaker.I assumed you wanted metal/ceramic instead of damped designs like paper/poly/fabric.Another option Jordan JX92S - this will be comfortable in the range you require but it will roll off a bit... | |
| best 4.5" midrange drivers under $1K This is the only thing I can think of that nearly meets your specs is ACCUTON C²79-6. I would not design around a tweeter.I'd start with midrange first and then find tweeter and woofer to match. | |
| best 4.5" midrange drivers under $1K I am not sure - those are pretty extreme specifications - do you understand what you are asking for? | |
| Bookshelf speakers and complex/orchestra For clarity on large orchestral stuff with aplomb try to look for a bigger speaker - something that has large dynamic range and with a critically damped response (a lean tight bass) The seperation of instruments for example is not as clear as with... | |
| Mid life audio crisis PMC hits you hard and fast and makes you sit up and listenDynamics will do that. It will also bring out detail as contrast is essential to your hearing ability (due to the well known masking effect). Try Weekend in LA George Benson "On Broadway" ... | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? 05-30-08: ShadorneI have the Boston first album picture disc......I wouldn't admit that in public.......LOL There are actually a lot of things I won't admit too in public. Like paying Foreplay/Longtime on Rockband with my kids and nephew with my ... | |

| frequency spike at 200hz I don't think it is microphonics. If the speakers are placed within 8 inches of the wall the bump is gone and so is the rest of the soundstage. I may have misinterpreted this statement and the fact that you system photo seems to show the tubes qu... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Wireless200,That was a really great analogy - thanks! The whole idea of the "BBC Dip" or "scooped" midrange sound of most hi-fi speakers is in order to make a pleasant sound that sells in a taste test. The truth is that it really does sell better.... | |
| frequency spike at 200hz That is pretty big hump. Not likely to be your room.Microphonics perhaps? | |
| Remasters: which are the good ones? The 25th Aniversary Clash remaster of "London Calling" has better bass extension. I'll have to get that - thanks for the heads up - I always felt London Calling was a tad bass anemic.BTW - there was nothing anemic about my 45 RPM 12" "Rock the Ca... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD but for the last decade and a half the price versus performance does not correlate most of the time. Now a days it is more about audio jewelry and it seems that some of the prices are derived arbitrarily and have no correlation to part costs or d... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic by their very nature, deep bass notes can be somewhat 'fat' and slower sounding. Jaybo may be on to something. Masking is an important issue in what you hear. More plundering of the bass depths can be the pleasureable result of ported designs/bas... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the amp, high impedance or not. What's wrong with this picture? If you think of the amp output impedance and the speaker load as a very simplistic set of resistors in series then you will see that the... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic I suspect what people are pointing out is that there are horns and there are horns => short throw and long throw horns and everything in between. If you make the leap then perhaps the jump to long throw horns like Cessara Beta horns might be to... |
