| TADs SS Hibachi Amps Marty,Is correct. In fact the way the speaker mechanical and air suspension is designed is very important as to how it will sound. (actually far far more important than amplifier damping!!)Here is a third term: "critically damped". This has been g... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 I posted everything you need in order to figure out why what I have been writing is correct. I am getting the feeling you just want to argue without reason at this point. Sorry I got the impression you were ready to explain how to interpret the p... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... I believe you are saying the same thing. I am going back and forth between the Focal, DigiDesign, and possibly one of the baby PMC monitors.Yes I am saying - that you should not base your decision on the active filter design (Digital or analog ac... | |
| Speakers too wide apart? Shadorne, reading your posts about speaker placement, and then looking at the speaker placement in your personal system where they are built directly into a wall unit, makes me wonder if you follow your own placement rules? Good question. For sid... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 I guess I'll have to post an instructional on how to interpret a frequency/dB graph That would certainly help me until I get the Master Handbook of Acoustics and learn something about acoustics. Since my comments about relative increased bass and... | |
| Speakers too wide apart? The music has more weight and solidity to it What you have done by placing the speakers further from side walls is to cut down on early reflections form the mid and treble - it allows your brain to process the primary signal before the reflection... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... I hate to ask: Is that critically important? Not critical - digital filters are more powerful and flexible than real circuits - but both need to be carefully designed - digital filters can introduce distortion that is unrelated to the music (trun... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Oh - and just one thing - pro-speakers are often viewed as "harsh sounding" and "non-musical" or simply analytical or worse as "PA sound" by many audiophiles.. Certainly with modern pop recordings (many are terribly compressed) these type speakers... | |
| Mid life audio crisis Given the TL design of the PMC's it may be wise to stick with their sub. The PMC AML1 are tuned at 5.5 feet TL length which does not match the subwoofer at 9 feet TL length. I am not sure what that does to the phase when you combine two. (bass ext... | |
| Your opinions on what speakers to go with? Of course, if this is something you are only experiencing recently then Tweak could be quite correct - you may have a tube issue. Another challenge could be microphonics when you play loud. Pink Floyd's studio have their tubes in an entirely separ... | |
| Speakers too wide apart? . I was immediately floored by how much better my system sounded. There was a naturalness that I never heard before. Soundstage depth also increased dramatically (which may not be saying much since before I had zero depth). I keep saying it over ... | |
| Mid life audio crisis This was fed by a Larvy DAC/Mac and nothing else but XLR cables - a real simple system that sounded amazing, but just lacked some bottom end slam, but had lots of transparency! If you like dynamics and energy then active is a good way to go. You ... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... NHT XD Meyer - HD-2's are real niceNova S applauseAdamBlue SkyQuadto name a few more. | |
| Your opinions on what speakers to go with? You need to think about pro speakers - your current speakers are already quite powerful but you are having the typical compression and "ringing" issues from consumer designs (rigid light weight cones small VC's and small motors). You probably list... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 It is a coincidence, nothing more. Well If I understand you correctly, you would say David's observations of differences between these speakers were entirely a room effect? Are you saying they should sound the same given a correct room/setup? It... |
