| 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... | |
| In-ceiling speakers I have B&W in ceilings, in walls and for outside too. You can see on my virtual systems....ok sound for background music. No comparison to dedicated systems. Great to hear you are so pleased with in ceilings - they seem to generally sound wors... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Drawing the conclusions you are drawing from those two graphs, is fallacious. However, the small differences between the two sets of measurements and those of Stereophile appear to match David's reported observations quite well. How do you explai... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? I tend to think you have to think about the speaker as a whole not just the tweeter. Agreed - and yes the Dunlavy's are awesome - and the midrange and bass and overall "integration" are much more critical than the choice of tweeter. Dare I sugges... | |
| Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular Size maters in loudspeakers. But most cant afford, can not house,wife- SAF wont allow,or audiophile just doesnt want to look at, move install giants....So I dont think large sized loudspeakers will ever become popular Quite agree. "don't want to ... | |
| Diffusion or Absorption behind the speakers? absorption - assuming your speakers are sending acoustic energy forwards - if you have dipoles or panels and want to reduce the quarter wave cancellation (comb filtering) from reflected energy with primary energy then diffusion is also helpful.Sin... | |
| Rachmaninoff, Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Opus 44? If you like an enveloping presentation then Telarc's version with Horatio Gutierrez is nice (especially for the sweeping orchestral stuff - although some complain it is too loud and piano deatil is lost because it is not close-miked) | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Revel Studio2 pseudo-anechoic responseOff-center in the horizontal plane, at 45° (red) and 60° (blue).If you compare the plot of the Dynaudio from Germany you can see that both responses are extremely good but Dynaudio has the better plot - the di... | |
| Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange 90 db SPL should be ok - but some music is extremely dynamic and you may not be seeing it on an SPL meter.Bass heavy material (while not loud) can cause an amplifier to easily run out of juice and clip....the clipping heats up voice coils and of c... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Yeah, you seem to making a lot of leaps, Shadorne. Ok good point. It looks like I must indeed have run off on a tangent - my bad - a poor choice of words!Actually, somehow I thought I read this into Rydenfan's observations. I can't judge his hear... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Referring to the Revel Studio 2 as..boom boom tizz is nuts. Perhaps but many of the most popular box speakers tend to be slanted if ever so slightly in this direction, after all great bass and highs is what they can do much better than an electro... |
