| The Importance of Audio Furniture Kenscollick, All speakers need room to breathe. must be that WAF thing. I agree about the WAF being a major determinant in most systems, after all we share our lives and abode with our better half. Your highly respected and excellent speakers defi... | |
| Connecting Airport Express to 802.11g LAN The express is a bass station - you need to set it up that way. | |
| The Room 50% of the sound you hear in a well designed listening room is indirect--bouncing off other surfaces. It certainly is.This is why it is so important to select speakers with an even power response and good horizontal dispersion (with similar off a... | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? Jaybo, except for abbey road(b&w) i have yet to visit a name facility that uses anything but jbl 4400 or 4600 pro monitors to mix major artist releases. i would not however recommend them for anything but the studio. I agree about JBL (not rec... | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? Ghostrider, All those big names...do they listen to the same stuff? Yes, in fact all of them are customers of a certain speaker company. For sure, musicians with such good success often own much more than one set of gear, as some have several home... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? My friend was using a Mac 2102 amp so I don't think there's any problem with its power supply or its design. This is an all tube design resurrected from the 60's.Sam Tellig in a 2001 Stereophile review says, I hinted to Larry Fish that I'd heard ... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? Mike, No you misread what I said about the HydraActually, I was replying to the comment by John Barlow on this thread. He stated that he found the Hyrda 8 restricted dynamics in his particular system.I do understand you are looking for surge prote... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? John,I read this somewhere... not sure if it accurate as I am not familiar with Shunyata. Hydra Power conditioners do NOT come with power cords. This is because Shunyata believes that power cords are a component not a throw-away. Is it possible th... | |
| Does a good sounding surge protector exist? I own a APC S20 with battery back up. I don't notice any limiting of dynamics. I actually love the unit. I think it smokes the Hydra 8 that did indeed limit dynamics in my system. I own the APC H15. No problems. I find it usually delivers around ... | |
| Surround speaker placement height I prefer surrounds higher (6 feet up) but it is largely preference - it makes concerts sound very real as that is usually where rear sounds come from (above you, from the side and behind in the stadium or hall). Ideally they should all be at equal... | |
| Zu Druid questions I am a musician and recording studio owner, and these Druids are just eerie in their ability to reproduce the sensation of a live performance. Squeegybug,Any chance of some pics of your setup? I assume you used the spiked, hypy and annoying PMC's... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? Ringing is just as bad as wobbling which all these soft cones suffers from. I agree it is a compromise...it is all about finding the right balance and then using the driver within its acceptable frequency operating range. The fatiguing design... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? If your speakers are set up for multichannel, the left and right are too far apart for stereo. Good Point...obviously the lack of center channel is a form of compromise, otherwise studios would not mix 5.1 with five identical speakers of equal he... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? Baam23f The front speakers are 52" tall. And the center would sit well below. My impression is that the oratorio was designed with the HT in mind more then the MC music. So far I am listening multichannel music with four speakers. Provided your DS... | |
| What are the difference between CLASS A and PURE I am with Ghostrider...I suspect "Pure Class A" means it does not flip to Class B when driven at higher output - so a "Pure Class A" will clip more easily, which limits dynamic range (usually a bass problem as bass needs oodles of power).I assume ... |
