| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? OMG...I have watched this thread for several days...such lame suggestions...pop just ain't the medium for this, IMHO, I mean come on ...."My baby takes the morning train", Sheena Easton , "Heart of Glass" or "Rapture" by Blondie or "Zig A Zig ahhh... | |
| Any comments on the MBL 121 Compacts I assume you know the drivers in even an expensive speaker (costing $10K or more) only cost a couple of hundred dollars Quite often true, but MBL is not the only manufacturer that make their own drivers. A few others use expensive drivers too. BT... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... You may want to contact Rives or Realtraps. If you buy something from them they'll be very open to advice for you. Warnerwh, I think that is a good plan but once I take that step I will find myself committed. That is whay I like Audiogon forums..... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Shadorne...Rives audio, who certainly are great believers in room treatments, will tell you that low frequency problems can't be fixed this way. The above comment is my worry exactly...I am sure acoustic treatment is essential and extremely benef... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... So you may be best just going after the most Bass trapping possible with aesthetic appeal you can in that room and hope for results with your subs My thoughts exactly. Big rooms are generally better than smaller rooms but they can suffer from ver... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Amandarae,Good suggestion this design will certainly have a good transient response. I can't help but agree with the quote below from the link you gave (it is kind of obvious that Linkwitz is an engineer and not in marketing). I have no problem, i... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? To kind of add to this thread, moving on from the Analog or digital, surround or stereo divides, I suggest that it is hard to create reality from a few squiggles (Analog or digital, mono, stereo or 7.1). There are a couple of areas that can be imp... | |
| Am I the only one purchasing hybrid disc's....... The variation in the quality of studio recording, mix and mastering is far greater than CD, DVD-A or SACD, IMHO. Some will be worse and some will be better. The SACD remaster of Aerosmith Toys in the Attic was done by Doug Sax - it sounds awesome ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Undertow and Warnerwh,How much acoustic panel treatments did you need to add before you noticed an improvement in the bass? Square footage or linear feet of bass trap? What do you recommend if you desperately want to minimize the amount of ugly pa... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Seadweller, I noticed that you are in Tamba Bay...so last piece of advice, promise! I suggest you check out Atlas Pro Audio....they are in your area, I think they have both a pro gear sales oulet and a studio. They use PMC's in their studio but th... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Seadweller,You weren't satisfied with your previous VR4's, yet, many would consider this speaker as excellent value for money and a great speaker in its own right. I suspect you are in a tough situation for a highly dynamic but not boxy full range... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Taking a Doors tape and mixing in in 5.1 does not change how it was recorded. Music can be gimmicked to sound surround when it really isn't... No one is fooled by this kind of compromise! This is such a true statement....gimmicked sound is not go... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I'm all for surround in my HT system, it's great with movies. It's just not for music. What is the difference between movie sound and music sound? Many movies contain up to 50% music. If it is realistic for a movie than why not for music. Have yo... | |
| Some great sounding classical "warhorses" ?? Telarc is a good label for excellent sound. | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... Ken Dodd and the Diddymen...I must have played that on my old hand me down gramophone about 10,000 times...that and an old Chet Baker album of my Dad's....I was only five years old, I guess I started collecting vinyl at quite a young age. Danny Ka... |
