| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? Forget it, no ME I know of uses active speakers.Some Mastering engineer's have used Actives...Bob Ludwig, George Massenburg, Doug Sax, Gavin Lurssen, Frank Wolf, James Guthrie ...some of these guys have multiple Grammy's....or some kind of tech aw... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? I agree with Bob...my comments should be taken as "technical Advantages" and not "Sonic Superiority Advantages"....what is sonically superior (i.e. sounds best) is so often a personal choice...so let's not go there!!!! | |
| Down firing vs. normal subwoofer None. Down firing runs less risk of getting damaged by something...vacuum cleaner, knocked over chair etc. | |
| At $5,000.....any thoughts? Great design, IMHO. | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? the issue seems to be panels vs cones rather than active vs non active speakers. Ah yes that could be a whole other thread. A two camp battle I suspect.My comments are restricted to the advantages of active acoustic suspension speakers over conve... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? i mention this because so called "accurate" active monitors, may be more inaccurate than one believes. Absolutely! Active monitors and all speakers are almost always the least accurate component in most high end systems. Speaker accuracy is order... | |
| Monster/Music Lovers. FRANKENSTEIN I don't love Monsters but the person you are looking for is Franz Waxman. The orginal movie has only music at the beginiing and end titles so I strongly suspect you may be referring to Bride of Frankenstein... | |
| CNET story on my tube based system Audiogon too ol school point to point wiring like the Atma's. You can see a picture I took under hood of the wiring in my virtual system.Indeed I took a good look "under the hood" very very impressive....no printed circuit board runs; obviously considerable l... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Wow. How did I miss this thread? Unlike other tweaks in which an infinitessimaly small glimmer of audible improvement might be eeked out (according to the usual technobable), much of this MD stuff is really out there, I mean right "on the edge". T... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? I must admit I'm afraid to ask you the time for fear of discovering how a watch works. I am an Engineer and also studied heavily Physics at College ...fortunately I took a great job rather than the PHD scholarship in my final year....I might neve... | |
| New Speaker Purchase I use ATC SCM 20's with a 4 BST...not everyone's cup of tea I am sure (more detail then many will like) but judging from your comments you might be happy with that...plenty of mid-range, a lean and very tight and precise bass (understated by North... | |
| CNET story on my tube based system Audiogon too Great story and great photos. This is what it is all about. Great Gear and Great Music! Kudos to you Emailists!As for more public thinking about this....forget it...they will never get it. I suspect one is either born with a discernming taste in m... | |
| Rolling Stones CD Remasters 2002? Stones masters by Bob Ludwig | |
| Rolling Stones CD Remasters 2002? The remasters done by Bob Ludwig are excellent. Look up Bob Ludwig on Artists Direct and check which ones he has done. Another great CD was Jump Back (a compilation with good sound).Note that the Stones music is generally distorted (especially the... | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? IMD just does not sound at all like music. It is the complete opposite to harmonic distortion such as you get from mechanical drivers and clipping of tube amps (which can sound pleasant and may be totally indistinguishable from actual music...in s... |
