| How Many Of Us Are Compensating I don't compensate. I find big budget movies are generally very reliable.I find music is all over the map (depending on mix/master).Correcting is too much work and I listen to so much music...I can't imagine playing each track once...then making E... | |
| Jazz trombone anyone? So you like horns eh?Well if you do not have Tower of Power "Soul Vaccination" in your collection then you are missing the tightest horn section I know of. Even if you don't care for funk - the muscianship is absolutely stunning and they do amazin... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo Shadorne, I'm not convinced that recording in an actual performance hall is necessary to create a sensation of live performance in playback. I agree fully. I stated aboveTo recreate perfect positioning it usually requires separate sessions for ea... | |
| are any of your friends audiophiles? I tend to share music and DVD's and discuss artists and genre's with friends. Sometimes I end up helping with technical issues. Friends are absolutely amazed when they visit and listen but they don't rush to spend a small fortune like I have done.... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo A key difference between live (unplugged) and reproduced music is this: Live instruments produce natural-sounding reverberant fields, but most home sound systems don't. For example, listen to a piano from the next room, through an open doorway wi... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo Another huge factor is reverb which I should have mentioned...this is what gives the game away on the venue...as opposed to your room.The kind of mixes you see are ones that are close miked in acoustically damped sound rooms and then engineered to... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo What model Energy speakers did you like?The early models spent a lot of effort on very wide and even dispersion and probably lead to their success as a start up company with people who left AR.IMHO it is wide even dispersion which produces the mos... | |
| Monitors similar like Lipinski 505 ?? I have not come across the Lewinski Monitor but Bill has. | |
| Monster/Music Lovers. FRANKENSTEIN No. No. NO!!!Solo violin.Original, Karloff, 1930s Franenstein "Sorry master, yes yes yes Igor will find you violin player for your experiments. But Master, can you not use the body parts of this Waxman guy that Igor has dug up for you?" ;-) | |
| Whole House Check my virtual system....Russound & B&W etc. | |
| Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL? a well executed esl will probably be less timbrally inaccurate than any line array. Do I sense a little "bomb", Mr T.I don't think I will enter the fray here except to say that any large radiating surface or line (panel or array) will have a mark... | |
| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? What kind of DVI does you rprojector support????There are TWO kinds.....analog and digital!!!Some devices accept both and will default to digital if it detects the signal.If you have an analog DVI only then it is probably not much different than c... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? Steve,Thanks for taking the time to offer a lengthy reply. I agree with your comments about pro monitors - indeed they tend to be unforgiving, controlled accurate but limited bass extension, and harsh sounding with some playback material (especial... | |
| Infinite bafflement? In acoustic suspension the box volume modifies Q (damping). In a pure infinite baffle only the driver's Q plays a role. Normally the box volume and woofer are selected to match in order to get the best out of the combo or combined Q (so this diffe... | |
| Setting up speakers 45 degrees from sidewalls No reason why it should not work fine - you may find you get less but more even bass with this configuration. Try to stay away from the exact middle of a square room (37% of a length is recommended in most cases) You may need to treat the walls be... |
