| subwoofer 19 by 18 room everything I demo is too loud, rolled wrong and it sounds like a booming box What is your budget...accurate extreme LF does not come cheap. I am hardly shocked at what you describe....if you are looking in the wrong price range.The Velodyne DD 12... | |

| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all First, he/she must have a media presence, which means having been published, written about, or known to the media in regard to his/her claimed abilities or powers Surely that suggests most reviewers and any cable manufacturer with a web site th... | |
| Speaker Preferences? panels rule, don't be a cone fool ! Well I can't fault you on your preference for the famous Quad EL sound but I know of the odd speaker that can comes close to matching the quad in the mid range (not better) and have great bass and dynamics too... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all 4est, I know that in my system, different cables are easily distinguished Have you contacted Randi about the Million dollars, or if not, why not (too busy like John Atkinson, for a million bucks)? | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Indeed, given the conviction with which many people talk about extremely high cost cables, break-in and other questionable tweaks...surely someone would step up to the plate, for a million bucks!I can see why an editor or reviewer might not want t... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but even "single driver" speakers have crossovers. Different parts of the cone respond at different frequency, so there is a mechanical, rather than electronic, crossover. "Whizzer" cones, found on some... | |
| Speaker Preferences? at the risk of being labelled an elitist, why is speaker selection so critical if recordings feature mainly amplified instruments ? Hang on...acoustic instruments all sound different too!How can you judge what is real timbre anymore than with amp... | |
| Smooth and silky top end I suspect it is partly to do with slew rate.It may explain why, on the whole many SS amps sound alike, however, a few have a distinctly silky or smoother treble...for example Luxman comes to mind in the smooth treble SS category and Bryston comes ... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers This is the first time I heard of a pyramid scheme in audio. I know this type of thing exists in other markets like tupperware, vitamins and cosmetics. Anyone else know of similar schemes in audio? (where a consumer gets commissions for recruiting... | |

| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Rives,Thanks for the thumbs up! You undoubtedly know a lot more about this than I do, since you build the well known and highly praised PARC. Jlambrick,FWIW, I haven't encountered a problem with the Behringer PEQ (I actually have the Feedback Dest... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Active speakers do not have crossovers in the traditional sense (where up to half the energy is absorbed in a passive filtering circuit and with all kinds of associated phase issues). Add active speakers to your list to audition and you may be sur... | |
| does anyone sharpie thier CD's??? There is no plausible explanation why it should sound louder. In order to add loudness you would need to add MSB (most significant bits) to the data being read from the CD. This would also require changing the appropriate bits in the error correct... |
