| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 I am heading out for another audition later this afternoon. I have tried to bring a lot of different material with me Sounds like a plan. Try walking around the room too - see which has the smoothest most even response (which would be my preferen... | |
| Mbl Magic? I believe they use a bandpass configuration for the bass unit. Bose does this...the famous "acoustimass" bandpass design which they pretend to have invented and patented! Amazing amounts of bass from a very very small enclosure but often and part... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Dynaudio BM6 Great monitors, however, since you are using a sub then I'd open up your investigation other designs without such a deep extension. (deep bass extension from minature ported speakers is generally a trade off in quality)Also have you considered act... | |
| Heres my plan, input please. REL 10" 200W B3. Check the HT Shack Subwoofer tests BEFORE you open this box.IMD Distortion Tests ExampleThere are pages and pages of detail - I just included one example page. It is a real eyeopener. Performance is quite variable. | |
| Something missing? Duke,I suspect there is something else going on here - possibly subconsciously all men are drawn to this wonderful JBL 4430 speaker. I can't think why - from the look of it - it seems just an ugly pro studio monitor.Can anyone help me understand t... | |
| 33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ???? 33 = Long Play => same idea as you video camera long play or photo image sixe "small" on your camera (basically compressed). Before CD arrived I used to buy everything I liked and could get my hands on in 45 RPM format for this very reason. Nig... | |
| Mbl Magic? MBL isn't the only manuracturer who gives these characteristic high priority. Yes this wide even dispersion charateristic was demonstrated by Dr. Floyd Toole in listening tests in the 70's as sounding most pleasing, natural and life-like convinci... | |
| Something missing? I quite agree with Ditusa - a cymbal crash is intense and very loud in real life. Horns will do it. Intense transients from percussion is where most systems fail most noticeably. Even Piano (a percussive instrument) often sounds to soft. Change yo... | |
| Best Recording of Music Bill,Thanks for the suggestions - Just ordered one and I will stop buy and pick up the other on my way home tonight. Citizen, by Steely Dan and I would have to put that at the top of my list. These guys were genius' in the care they took in how an... | |
| Right Time, Right Place Lucky you - did you realize that your wife had been doing some spring cleaning - sounds like the rest of your stuff she dumped out on the street went real fast - at least you go the book case back ;-) | |
| Hairdryer for Sale on Gon If you check out Mike's system you will see that de-ionizing is being taken quite seriously by ultra high-enders. I would be unlikely to benefit from this tweak given my crap Sony sources and HT preamp - so it is not a path that IO will try. Howev... | |
| Heres my plan, input please. Sounds like a great plan. I'd say you really are on the right track. It is wise to think HT from the get go when starting out today. Secondly, using the same speaker manufacturer for all surround is extremely wise - many people ignore this, and mi... | |
| Great jazz and Rock unknown GEMS Share yours Rebelution "Courage to Grow" an unknown gem. | |
| JM labs Utopia vs JM labs Nova? I agree with Bar81 - simply too much bass. | |
| Power conditioner or not? I am confused! Per Naim's recommendations, no power conditioner needed. I have a Naim system, what do you think? Bryston manuals say the same. That is the way it should be in a good product. However, with switched mode power supplies common these... |
