| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... Yeah the MM27 is king of meter bridge monitors for sure - in the tight accurate deep bass department.A substantial heavy bookshelf sized monitor but with the kind of quality bass at SPL's you normally only get from large 100 liter+ big box cabinet... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Wireless200,Do you see it too?I constantly see audio performance specifications raining down on me from all sides.I thought it was just me ;-) | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD BTW, at 60dB thems spkrs is doin good. Most won't do 25 before kicking a few buckets...Gregm,Indeed, yet it is all too common to see extremely expensive CD players hooked up to the kind of speakers you mention. My ATC mid domes are respected for ... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Congratulations - since it is plenty loud enough for your room then you can blame the source music if you don't like the sound - the speakers are just playing the music as nearly transparently as is possible with today's technology. | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD should sound considerably better than one from 1992 that cost $800. You can't be that sure, however, CD players did indeed improve in general around the early 90's with delta sigma DAC's and oversampling becoming widespread. (Principally Higher s... | |
| Crossovers High order is needed when drivers are used to the extremes of their operating range. Often high order notch filters are used with modern light weight metal or ceramic drivers - this is an attempt to reduce the out of band "ringing" - it often work... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Jafox,I agree with you 100% about about the dangers of using an EQ or tone control to compensate for inadequacies in the equipment. However, the same could said for swapping cables or amps to try and fix a harsh sounding speaker. Or selecting a sp... | |
| Anyone using the Dynaudio BM6 ? I second the Genelec's - the 8050A is absolutely awesome. As CDC says it is a "pipe and slippers" sound in the sense that they are rather honest or completely neutral - but take your time and listen carefully and you realize the quality is actuall... | |
| Should 'a' been a contender Tannoy's famous SGM10 with Mastering Lab cabinets - Doug Sax bought up the entire lot of the last production drivers. I think the high cost of Alnico is what made Tannoy stop production of this wonderful driver.LinkThese never really made it out o... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Rather than using equipment as "tone controls" it is far more efficient to actually get a preamp with tone controls or an outboard parametric EQ. Thanks - sometimes the obvious really does need to be stated. People who buy and trade equipment in ... | |
| B&W speakers and SF lower end I agree with Ryder - good advice. | |
| Small AV room setups now better than big rooms??? Well if you mean that it is relatively easy and cheap to make great sound at low volume levels then I agree absolutely...but small rooms don't sound right to my ears. | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD I hear slight differences, however, compared to the distortion and different presentation from speakers these differences are extremely small. I find speakers vary from absolutely terrible to almost "you are there". I find nowhere near this kind o... | |
| possible upgrade to biwire speakers If you biamp then you can make a modest improvement but I don't think this warrents being your main consideration in up-grading your speakers. | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? I did go to see Indiana Jones this weekend and it was a very clean horn system without harsh digital artifacts either. It was louder than I ever play my system these days and I walked out with no pain. I want those speakers I think. But those are ... |
