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...

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.... 
panel speaker purchase
i will be able to get a 45 percent reviewer's accomodation discount if buying the analysis audio speaker but it is an expensive purchase How would you feel about writing a review in this case?Upon reading this perhaps another manufacturer may up ... 
Recommend a forward speaker
Duke,Correct - I didn't quote you - my mistake. My comment was more related to how you consider a narrow dispersion is more of a forward presentation than a wide dispersion...I beg to disagree on that one that is all. However, as Newbee suggests .... 
Floor Standing or In Wall speakers
I have heard many such [in wall] systems and they can be quite fine but they are rarely made from consumer stuff.Agreed. You may not prefer them but they can sound good too. To me the absence of edge diffraction and rear quarter wave cancellation... 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
There is no blind test necessary. Loud discordant distortion is easy to verify. That is because the ones I have tried followed a pattern. I suspect that Muralman's approach dominates the conventional way of hooking up ;-) 
Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is.
think that the sound quality that a person with an ordinary income can buy today is miles ahead of what that person could buy 25 years ago and is getting better all the time. I agree.JGH beef seems to be with a large portion of the high end which... 
Recommend a forward speaker
The beaming of line source and panels 'projects' the sound at the listener, and limits the higher frequency content of the room's reverberant field that exaggerates the localization of the source, thus making a forward presentation My guess is t... 
Floor Standing or In Wall speakers
For HT, mebbe, but I have yet to hear any in-walls that can compete with free-standing speakers for music. Yes but like most audiophiles mebbe you have not heard or are aware of this or this or this...all in walls and there are so many more (and ... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
Does anyone know who made the drivers for MM3? Judging by the looks...(a guess)Aurum Cantum G3 TweetAccuton midsATC 15" Woofers 
Recommend a forward speaker
Try a professional quality EQ unit and liberally experiment with relatively small boosts in the midrange frequencies and/or cuts in the upper midrange. This is a good idea, however, one of the ways that designers achieve a "BBC dip" and yet still... 
Recommend a forward speaker
ATCs: the active or passive versions? I would go older passive 20's second hand or 35's (rare) for a modest investment to see if you like the more forward presentation. My concern would be that with the 20's you will want or expect more deep bass...
