| Heard my friend's system, thinking of leaving hifi Hey Shadorne, my hi-fi buddy has heard all the Meridian gear. Still loves his horns,lol.A sobering thought; expensive doesn't always equal good/or best. Which horns does your friend believe beats Meridian hands down? If you are referring to the f... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers I recall a thread where there was an argument about the relevance or value of specifications. I can imagine some are rolling their eyes at this current discussion of beautiful looking plots.For those rolling their eyes, and this is true: Dolly Par... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers They were very detailed, but to my ears they sounded forward and a bit bright. Thanks - although too forward is how many would describe ATC's. The plots indicate these may indeed be a bit brighter in the treble as there is no roll-off at all - be... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers This excess off-axis energy in the lower treble region is caused by the tweeter having a very wide pattern just above the crossover point, and it's there on most speakers AHA ....now you have hit the nail on the head in respect of the deficiencie... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? if there is no best, because "best" does not exist in audio, then, i suppose... Suppose if MrTennis posts his views but no one reads them, do the views exist? | |
| RACMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 Kjl,May I ask what speakers you are using? Is it still the Quads 988's?I just can't reconcile your statement In the ones I mentioned its like there is no top, no bottom almost like a compressed MP3quality. with the Telarc recording CD-802-259 unl... | |
| Best new loudspeaker I must admit MrT, I thought you meant best too - especially given this statementthe quads unlimited quad 57 are closer to real than anything out there, period. "anything out there, period"In my simple mindedness I equated your "criteria" of being ... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers Duke,The K&H O 500 measurements are absolutely stunning (although the spectral decay plot may be hiding resonances as it cuts off at -25 db)I have read good comments about these speakers (except they do not play very loud - probably a direct r... | |
| Computer speakers? NHT MOO and SOO are good. | |
| RACMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 I didn't say anything to the owner of the system when he played it at that level, but makes me wonder why people think it is necessary to play it that loud? Is it because of a poor recording quality or any other reason? I don't know how loud you ... | |
| Room Issues Fstein,I had an ATC 0.1/15 sub and SCM 20's in a space like that - no problem with sound levels or bass response. Without the sub it was definitely anemic sounding. I used an EQ to reduce the reponse by 3 db at 4 Khz due to gymnasium type wood flo... | |
| HD-DVD Officially Dead Mr. Consumer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (Toshiba does not respond.) Mr. Consumer: 'Ello, Miss? Toshiba: What do you mean "miss"? Mr. Consumer: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! Toshiba: We're closin' for lunch... | |
| Best new loudspeaker i find it hard to believe that dispersion is the only variable accounting for differences in a speaker composed of cones as compared to a another speaker which has none of them. can you suggest a way of demonstrating this ? It may be hard to beli... | |
| velodyne dd12 or jl audio fathom? The SVS PB 13 looks awesome - for movies the ports can be left open and the 20Hz output is outstanding - no compression WOW, however the group delay is a wee bit high for my liking for music (may sound plodding or muddy in kick drum). No worries t... | |
| PRE_AMP for ATC- actives?? Pretty much anything works as far as I know....provided it is XLR balanced. If you use an RCA only preamp then there is a small risk that you can't play them as loud as they can go before the pre-amp runs out of juice. |
