| 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... | |
| Any experience with the JBL 4430 Pro Monitors? The baboons butt is a classic. These are usually soffit mounted and you may suffer slightly from edge diffraction issues if you decide not to instal them in a wall. Mounted in a wall you have a world class sound from a world class speaker - a soun... | |
| Decoupling monitors from a dresser? You can buy movers pads (plastic tray with a quarter inch rubber pad). Basically any soft rubber material will help....provided that the monitors are heavy and well braced. Light weight cabinets tend to waffle easily and will color the sound even ... | |

It is a major problem.I re-iterate that it is never a good idea to sit in the middle of ... | |
| efficiency- hope i spelt that wright. I agree with Elvick...quality first, however, if you do go with a mere 7 watts then you definitely need a highly efficient speaker...an 83 db speaker will be severely restricted if driven by 7 watts....in that case you might consider horns as an e... | |
| efficiency- hope i spelt that wright. Is a guy wasting his money buying inefficient speakers? No. There is a lot more to speakers than this. Distortion. Dispersion. Driver integration. Compression. I have heard 83 db sensitivity speakers that play much louder than 91 db sensitivity s... | |
| "Mini" to Optical for Airport Express Assuming your preamp is expensive you may likely benefit most by using the digital out from the AE, however, in practice you might not be able to hear a difference (with the volume levels correctly matched.) | |
| Help me choose a power conditioner, please Check out APCCheap but respected by business and IT sectors of the market. Less well known (respected) in the boutique world of hi-fi. | |
| Re-arranged Room Sounds Awful...How to Improve? Place the speakers closer together (either side of the TV) and move your chair back a couple of feet. Don't toe in your speakers - this will create a confusion of left and right reflections and interference patterns (left channel reflects off rear... | |
| how can I use main speakers to replace sub? Yeah - as Elvick rightly says this is normally no problem as almost any DSP pre-amp should be able to redirect the 0.1 channel to any of the speakers you choose. | |
