| Please recommend a good recording oMozart Requiem Emma Kirby & Chris Hogwood with Academy of Ancient Muisc is very good - they play everything on period instruments or replicas - so it sounds closer to the orginal, as it was intended. | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? I stand by the statement Some audiophiles will complain that studio gear sounds like a PA. Those who categorically dismiss all pro power amplifiers are simply showing their prejudices. The truth is they tend to sound quite different because they ... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Good points. Pro amps cover two markets => venue sound reinforcement and recording studios. Only the studios will go for the higher quality sound (similar to audiophile except slanted towards precise/forward sound) whereas the sound reinforceme... | |
| midrange forwardness Chris,ATC will give you close to the best "electrostatic sound" with a tilt towards the lower midrange that is missing on some panels. Not as perfect in the midrange as you can get from the best panels but overall much better dynamically (not laid... | |
| Good Country recordings Opps I meant Martina McBride... | |
| Good Country recordings I'll add Christina McBride and Lyle Lovett albums. | |
| HELP The amp you have should indeed be ok. Before you spend another $400 bucks. I'd investigate as it may be the speakers in your room versus what you heard at the dealer. | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Is there something I'm missing here? Amps for studios tend to be very precise. Amps for high end audiophiles tend to be "softened".Crown and Bryston are are simply excellent amps but the harshness you get with precision is not necessarily what do... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours reissue I have TOTO Essentials CD and it is mildly overcompressed - it still sounds ok but the 80's Grammy winning sound ain't quite there after Joseph M. Palmaccio squashed it.Doug Sax did a good job on Aerosmith's box CD set of their first three ( this ... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours reissue Disco,Your description would have been my guess. I have not heard it but generally new remasters are additionally compressed to give the "hot" sound that is common today.At low levels this will give the brief impression of more "edge, attack and d... | |
| Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage????? FYI: Gordon Holt uses active ATC SCM 50's - he loved and owned SoundLabs for many years so perhaps you should look into ATC. They would be much more practical for an HT setup and are popular in studios for 5.1 monitoring.I am not knocking your ado... | |
| white noise from tweeters I dont know about any of you, but I feel that true Hi Fi components should not hiss, hum, or create these types of distractions. Is that too much to ask? Some people feel that way - others actually like the snap crackle pop and hiss of Vinyl and ... | |
| Digital Convergence/Comments on Retail If Audioengine is your idea of good sound (nice cheap but pretty lousy bass but good as entry level student speaker) then you really need to get some serious active speakers rather than toys for kids.My first choice as a very high end active speak... | |
| No bass in the Proac Response 3 Give it time - better bass is often less resonant and in your face than what you typically get from boom boom tizz speakers... | |
| Importance of Center Channel in small room Funny though some people on the other forums HATE center channels and always prefer phantom. Yes indeed - a large number of audio studio professionals do not like center channels - although not many will admit it, after all multi-channel mixing i... |
