| Soundstage...How to determine what's right? Congestion is closely linked to a lack of dynamics. Live music is highly dynamic and there are all kind of peaks that stick out and act as cues to the ears about position and detail. Our hearing suffers from an effect called "masking" (a loud soun... | |
| Speaker driver efficiency, series vs. parallel etc Link...note that this is only true if you multiply the box volume by the number of woofers...otherwise you will lose some of the efficiency gain to acoustic damping. | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? Got Guitar Hero III for the kids for Christmas, although the wife says I really got it for myself. Anyway, got through "easy" fairly quickly, then passed muster on Medium. Got through the 1st bunch of songs on Hard and pretty much have turned the... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Since we're talking about microphones, does anyone have a copy of the first Stereophile test CD? On it, J. Gordon Holt reads one of his articles through a series of changing mics. It's only a slight exaggeration to say that he sounds like a diffe... | |
| Quad Active Speakers 11l and 12l history/future Nice post. I think audiophiles are beginning to accept the benefits of Active designs - it is a slow process though -as pure performance is only a very small factor in most audio purchase decisions. A lot of purchase descisions are driven by aesth... | |
| Line Array Speakers info please I am not sure that a line array is your best solution but Infinity IRS V is worth checking out (second hand of course) and Duntech Sovereigns (not a line array but possibly a better match for the amp). Whatever you do you will have significant bas... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Shadorne, the real question is how many recording engineers use the same equipment in their personal systems. Tbg,Some do use the same speakers at home - of course many may not feel the need given what they have all day at work - why even bother ... | |
| GMT Europa vs. Quad 12 L2 vs. Totem Rainmaker "This" meaning what?...... 7.1 system requires 6 speakers so the "roudup" will work great. | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? in order to do a definitive test of a speaker's ability to reproduce timbre accurately, it is necessary to record an instrument in one's living room and compare the recording to a musician's presentation of the same music.of course one will need ... | |
| GMT Europa vs. Quad 12 L2 vs. Totem Rainmaker I think this will make a great combo HT system. | |
| Paradigm Studio The best option is the same speaker all around - if the 20 is good enough for you as mains then go for it! | |
| Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112 I am with Frank. The JL-Audio subs are extremely good value - outperforming most subs two to three times their price! Fairly low distortion and high SPL output at 20 to 40 Hz frequencies = JL -Audio is just what you want from a sub (and unfortunat... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Telarc use ATC SCM Active 20's - another brit speaker to add to your brit audition list suggested above. You won't get an active version and a massive sub at your price point but a used passive SCM 20 should be within reach and get you started tow... | |
| What Subwoofer is the best bang for the buck? JL F113 and SVS Sounds PB13 Ultra are the best value in output and reasonably low distortion. You can do better than these but nothing else beats them in terms of "bang for buck"...IMHO. | |
| Center & Rears To Match Avalon Indra? Indras would match and just use phantom for center if the speaker gets in the way of the screen |
