| All about the bass Scorpios will be harder to correctly place and quite hard to drive at higher SPL's without a fair bit of IMD distortion - probably a fairly narrow sweetspot too. 7 drivers and four crossovers in one speaker is an impressive amount of hardware but ... | |
| acoustic system resonators A Sound Level Meter can determine locations in the room for resonators with better accuracy in many cases I think only a Tricorder can help with this level of complexity; I have found great interactions when using several of these devices at the ... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Wire geometry will most affect highs. As you increase the spacing of wires you increase the inductance and therefore it will increase the "roll-off" of highs. This may make it sound perceptively warmer. So dangling wires with a large space between... | |
| Anyone heard the Cd Zucchero & Co? Yes indeed....the italians can play the blues. Pippo is a really funky number!!Zucchero Fornaciari "Blues" is one of my 'ol favorites - to understand Pippo it helps if you speak Italian or understand the culture, I am not Italian but this is one o... | |
| speaker/room bass modes That is not bad freq response - probably better than average. I see you have some acoustic treatments already. Have you considered a PARC? | |
| speaker/room bass modes place them in pretty much identical postions within the room, will the suckout remain?More or less - YES (changing the height of the woofers will only affect reflections from off the floor and ceiling - the excitation of one mode only). Does the ... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors Bob,Great site. I enjoyed the review of compromises in various loud speaker designs. I would say it is a fair assessment. For once, it is pleasant and refreshing to read a promotional website for high-end gear that is NOT a bunch of nonsense. I wa... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors its better to write an initial review, and a follow up review. this helps others. 'hurray-i love this speaker-only to get something else in a month or two-'thread is way too common...if you have these years from now, that (in of itself)will be th... | |
| Harshness in Midrange??? Any Help Chris,Good question. I would have to say it is deliberate. The boost between 4 and 5 Khz will add the "slap" on a kick drum. It will make the speaker sound more dertailed and speed up the bass. You may have noticed B&W place the tweeter on top... | |
| All about the bass Buy the Sheffield Labs Drum Track XRCD and go out and audition. Track 1 has the tightest bass and is very dynamic. This will seriously separate the men from the boys.If you like electronica then you may be interested to know that the audio enginee... | |
| Led Zeppelin-newly remastered if you can, compare momship to the 80's diament mastering like i did.try this: turn up a diament cut til plant is pretty loud. all will be well, i promise. now - swap it for mommaship and turn up that same song til plant is as loud as you just he... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Brizonbiovizier's point about sighted tests is an important one.If you take away the visual cues then much of the fanciful amazing properties of one cable versus another disappear as Mike Lavigne found out (much to his credit for doing a blind tes... | |
| Harshness in Midrange??? Any Help Duke,Thanks - I really learned a lot from your comments above - much appreciated.I always wondered how those B&W three ways could get away with a 6 inch midrange crossed over so high ( I thought that phase plug looked too small to be effective... | |
| Headphones and Anthem AVM 30 Try setting Center to None in your speaker config. | |
| Does your system sound better or worse? Macbeth Act 2, Scene 3, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance...Coffee, too much salt can also be bad but none of this stops me.... |
