| Music to evaluate Speakers and System {quote] Mahler Symphony No.1 with Zander on Telarc [/quote]I agree! Wow. I met Benjamin last time I was in Boston. What a demanding character - he sure knows how get the best out of an orchestra! | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer There is another thread at the moment that speculates how mid range can affect bass perception ....perhaps it also works in reverse too.......all the same I am puzzled by what you both report but I don't doubt your observations.Here is the link | |

| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Itball,Thanks for sharing. That article was very interesting. My experience has also been that mid range seems to affect bass perception enormously. It has always puzzled me how even a blown tweeter (far from bass frequencies) will modify bass per... | |
| Music to evaluate Speakers and System Midirons,I really enjoyed that article thanks for sharing.This recommendation below is a real gem! play a larger number of recordings of vastly different styles and recording technique on two different systems to hear which system reveals more dif... | |

| A hard look at the effect of cables Knownothing,FWIW, your strategy as regards a sub woofer seems quite sensible. I believe it is better without one unless you can get something of high enough quality to not do more harm than good to your bass and lower midrange. Producing good ultr... | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround I find the R30 to be the best the band has put out both audio and video...I may have been too harsh. The video is indeed exceptional. The digital sound is impressive as it shows up some warts. Perhaps I am focussing too much on those minor warts.... |
