| Maggies and rolled off treble Midrange is the unsung hero of good audio and happy audiophiles.This is why Magneplanars, LS35a's, Quad ESL 57's, Celestion 600's and precious few others are legendary speakers, many years after they were first manufactured.In the meantime, neuro... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Pro active speakers are still a possibility, but if I go that way I'd go for the higher SPL, 3-way midfield or "main" monitors. The thing is, these are designed to be flush-mounted, and at this point I think I'd prefer free-standing fronts.They a... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" High End Audio is already like computer dating, everyone makes fantastic claims about what can be had. Are you daring to suggest that nearly everyone makes fantastic claims about ordinary pieces of wire running between components and speakers? Hi... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Oh and before these speakers get dismissed as crap along with other pro gear just take a look at Blackbird Studios in Nashville - especially Studio C designed by George Massenburg - you will see a cost no object setup and guess what - Genelec 8050... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc If you have not bought your Revel's yet then why not consider Active speakers ? If you are looking at pro amps then why not check out the speaker section at your local music store - listen to the Genelec 8050A and see what you think....Revels are ... | |
| Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on? I have been enjoying Blu-ray for nearly a year - yeah I do think it will catch on ....eventually. Do I think you need to pay $17 K for a player...no. But I have tin ears... | |
| Tom Petty fans Lets hope it is better than the "highway" album - I was not impressed with that one - kinda so so, IMHO.The Heartbreakers usually sound great in concert - very attentive to sound detail and a serious experienced road crew. They are touring again t... | |
| Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 5.1 or.. The Sophias are more "sophisticated" with significantly less bass hump and an overall more refined presentation. If you want exhileraton then go for the WP's. Another way to think of it is - if you have a big room and want to fill it with big punc... | |
| Bass issues,,,,will new speaker help? Corner bass tri-traps or superchunks will help. if you can fill every corner with them top to bottom then I am fairly certain you would get a modest improvement -and not just in the bass suckout. | |
| SubWoofer Help Down firing will reduce the audibility of harmonic distortion. It generally makes placement easier and will increase the sub efficiency (like a horn - the coupling to the air will be improved at a room boudary). It also means that a huge cone and ... | |
| BookShelf Speakers Sound Muddy HELP Perhaps you expect too much from small speakers - I mean the bass and midrange come from the same small woofer. The idea of litlle speakers like this with gorgeous finish is mainly aesthetic and it is really a bit unfair to expect too much in term... | |
| bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss? I quite agree - I never liked the Bananas. | |
| How can I improve my system I suspect that the biggest difference in what you heard at the showroom was the speakers and room. I am not sure if that helps... | |
| speaker or amp distorting thanks for the advice so far guys, the frustrating thing is how good this system sounds when it is not distorting. Unfortunately getting clean beautiful sound at realistic levels is exponentially challenging - particularly in the bass. It is gener... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Crown have been used to power main monitors in custom built studios for many years. If you are looking for dynamics then the power and headroom may come in handy in an HT setup. (Movies are not nearly as compressed as most music so dynamics/headro... |
