| 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... | |
| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? I don't think so - quality is not compromised - after all it is all digital. Provided the source is outputting data that the TV can decode. I use DVI-D (digital) to HDMI from my Mac to my HD TV - this way I can select tracks to play from the liste... | |
| What difference between.......... Dipole surrounds work well in theatres with a wide seating area. In fact they also use arrays to maintain a balanced sound (difficult to keep balance in a huge hall).At home for a few people on a couch I don't think it matters as much - dipole or ... | |
| Headphone Recommendations AKG's are excellent. | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Jeff,Great movie Blade Runner. One of those mind bending Philip K Dick stories - Ridley Scott did a great job on that movie. I don't like the voice over and apparentl ythey will fix this in the new Blu-Ray version in December (with 5.1 sound too)... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? Steve,Wow that is an awesome equipment list. I would be delighted/comfortable with almost any of the gear you listed. My only point was that some Mastering Engineers do or have used Active speakers rather than none (as "forget it" sort of implied ... |
