| 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... | |
| How many pair of speakers do you own? Nilthepill,Now that is real class...all Dunlavy! | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I am surprised by the vehemence of the arguments against surround sound. It is patently obvious that surround can create the ambient sound of a real venue better than two channel. Two channel can add cues using special techniques in the mix but it... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? D_Edwards,I am not sure if surround is currently better than two channel for music but I don't doubt it will eventually surpass. I think the engineers are not all able to put out consistent stuff for music at the moment. Multi-channel should give ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Undertow,The more harmonics in music the less sensitive it will be to room modes (if you excite several modes at once an uneven response at a particular frequency becomes less obtrusive). An instrument without harmonics is not much use....it won't... | |
| Massive entertainment center replacement ideas? Mdhoover,I see no issues with what you have....edge diffraction can become a problem with anything too close to the speakers but that does not appear to be your case.If you don't plan on ever moving, are getting rid of Gladys anyway, and are prepa... |
