| 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... | |
| 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 ... |
