| speaker or amp distorting Probably amp but your speakers can't take a lot more than 100 watts anyway. A small two way is not ideal for big band. For example yours has only a 1.5" voice coil for the woofer....which is only a half inch bigger than most tweeters - typical of ... | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound You are the most important, and most variable, component in any system ...huh ...what about speaker cables and interconnects - aren't these the biggest variables in ultra high-end? What cables/interconnects is Chris using in the car? ;-) just kid... | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound Chris,Ok. So you are basically saying you percieve things differently due to a difference in concentration when in the car. You are more relaxed in the car and able to enjoy it whilst the home system is more stressful as it is more resolving and r... | |
| Speakers and depth... Bobby,Good point - as you figured out - I merged "distance" and "depth" in my comments .....how far something is away versus how "deep" is the perceived soundstage.Thanks for clarifying and making my comments clearer. If I understand correctly - y... | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound Chris,Did suggestions in this thread help - did you figure out why you like your some aspects of the sound from your car Grundig system (probably pretty darn good as far as car systems go) versus your home system?Just curious - your threads often ... | |

| Fire place vs. audiophile.... My fireplace serves as an RPG diffuser and bass trap - it sits about 6 feet directly behind the listener - exactly where I need absorption and diffusion. It is also surrounded by three large GIK Tri-traps. It is made from stacked logs of random si... | |
| AKM dacs - which products use them ? The Slim Devices Transporter uses the latest and greatest AKM DAC's.My Anthem AVM 20 preamp uses an older generation AKM DAC and ADC's too.That you can get excellent digital sound for much lower cost today than you could in the past is a sign of p... | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound BTW - if you listen to panels at home then I would wager that it is indeed the dynamics/greater SPL that has got you attention in the car. Opera is LOUD LOUD LOUD...especially Wagner (my favorite) | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound Hi folks, I came to the conclusion that in fact I love the sound that is emanating from car audio What is your car audio system - some are extremely good. I had a high end Clarion system installed in one vehicle and it was excellent.Cars tend to ... | |
| How to hookup two REL subs to a single 4bsst? Does the REL have a line level input - you could simply feed it a signal from your pre-amp?You should be able to feed the two subs the same signal with a Y connector. This will lower the load seen by your pre-amp but not by enough to matter. If yo... | |
| Two terms I don't understand - please explain A "prat" is convinced he has better hearing and a far more resolving system than others. The normal "prat" behaviour is to "slam" inferiors with little explanation or constructive advice other than anecodotes. If you don't get it then you are eith... | |
| Speakers and depth... Anything with a "BBC Dip" and a warmer less defined bass will tend to give you a deeper soundstage. Upper midrange rolls off with distance and bass sounds less tight or crisp as you get further from the stage.Rogers is a classic example but many f... | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" Or realizing that his wife will never let him have it. Absolutely! Good one. A wife with a permanent headache deserves respect but it would probably drive a man into depression. | |
