| Amp recommendation please SST is smoother in Bryston's line but they all pull no punches and you simply won't get smooth warm coloration from a Bryston. | |
| Ultra high resolution My father played trombone in a big band that used to play during the old dance hall days. I used to play clarinet and I'm currently working on drums as you will see in my system here. | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms Fussy people like fussy. Fussy is fun for fussy people. Perhaps fun is the wrong word....think of all the pleasure a man can still get from sticking his equipment in a butt ugly space. | |
| Bass traps? (to solve a suck out) Are your speakers running full range? If not then try them full range and move them another foot out from the wall. If your subwoofer is in a corner then you really need to reconsider moving it out into the room for a more even response. | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms Personally, the visual esthetics are as important to me I have always been happy with somewhere to stick my gear never mind aesthetics. If you are too fussy then you miss out on a lot of fun. | |
| Ultra high resolution Harry smokes. Indeed he had great "sizzle"...a very nice sound and yes he did smoke (cigarettes) too... | |
| Ultra high resolution I must second both Shadorne & Dcstep... Homage To Duke is still one of the best recordings ever to my ears, and long-term reference... It has slightly more bass then it should, IMHO, but it is the realistic dynamics that make this such a gem.... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? I am not sure you will ever find a consensus here. FWIW, the difference in sound between 5 foot and 6 foot is negligible but the distance from amp to speakers can easily be more than 5 feet. | |
| Ultra high resolution Hah, I ordered "Twist of Motown" this morning, plus another Grusin album and a Ritenour.If you don't yet have Dave Grusin's Homage to Duke then you are missing an absolute GEM!!! One of the best recordings out there bar none. | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? If you are looking for a beautiful piano piece and classical overtones in heavy rock then look at Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie was trained as a classical pianist and as an opera singer. Although it is simple like "Fur Elise" it is quite obvious from... | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? Do I understand you correctly that what I've got is a bad amp/speaker match? Yes - your bass needs a Bryston style amp (more punch and control) but you prefer a warmer sounding amp for the midrange. You might try putting a sock in the speaker por... | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" If your system can help you to learn to appreciate music passionately like this then you have not arrived at all. Your journey has just begun... | |
| Bass, Frequency response, Etc...Noob Question an honest manufacturer may have worst real world specs. That was a gem and it is certainly true of some of the few honest high quality manufacturers... speaker specs are a constant source of exaggeration often in room specs ( yeah give me a break... | |
| Great systems in butt-ugly rooms As far as WAF goes, surely a man is happier if there is more often room to accomodate his gear, even when butt-ugly, rather than not. | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? If you still using the Snell C/V - this speaker has "underdamped" woofers (usual bass hump). The damping factor of the amp will play a considerable effect with this design. There is nothing wrong with your Dreadnaught but it is a low feedback desi... |
