| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters? Your key problem, as I understand it, is that this has happened twice....It is highly likely that you are overdriving your amplifier and then burning up the voice coil or protective resistor(if there is one) on your tweeter.This happens when you h... | |
| Analog experiment Anyone prefer gold and bartering with real commodities to the convenience of cash and credit cards...? One is real and the other is a mathematical representation ...kinda like the difference between Analog and Digital. (LOL, perhaps I need to play... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? i value my ears too much to listen beyond 85 db.... what i am trying to say is it depends upon preference and your choice of music. Good point.My point was that most real world instruments/orchestra/band go significantly louder than 85 db and a go... | |
| Analog experiment Arthur,Your experience matches mine although my experimentations were done in the mid 80's. Analog can produce excellent sound, so too can CD digital. For a given recording one or the other may win out. I could not find a consistent difference to ... | |
| Need help generating a short list Specifically, I'm interested in getting away from the typical, conventional designs Driver design has not changed or improved that much since the 70's, IMHO. Competition and price pressure has continued to increase (after all, pretty much anybody... | |
| Need help generating a short list Seadweller,I think a larger model ATC might meet your described needs. realize it would be impossible to find a loudspeaker with the dynamics of a horn, midrange of a planar or electrostatic, and top to bottom detail of a superior conventional de... | |
| Newbie needs help I second each of Bob Reynolds comments. | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good So, depending on how close your speakers are, room construction, type of AC outlet and overall system performance it could make a nice improvement in sound when you swap out the cover. A 2 3/4" by 4 1/2" electrical cover of surface area 12 square... | |

| Listening out of the Sweet Spot - What Works? Speakers with wide even dispersion across all frequencies will do what you need - the sound maintains correct timbral character and balance even outside of a narrow sweetspot such as in the next room or an alcove. Dynamic range is also critical to... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? your example would apply to some cases but there are many instances where dynamic range is not an issue, especially classical, non orchestra music.Mrtennis (Threads | Answers) Most live music has abundant dynamic range ...much more than an averag... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Gawdbless, One system I played it through at the show the speakers alone were $55000 and sounded well and truely awful (I am being polite). If quality costs money, why can't 'proper' systems do it?. My cheapo pc speakers can! Read my previous post... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? the best recording with the worst system will sound better than the worst recording with the best system. as Confucious might say....BTW: I agree Mrtennis with you....at least to a certain point....An excellent recording however will NOT sound as... | |
| Best "one-on-one" recordings... one voice and... Joan Biaz - "Diamonds and Rust" (can't recall which old album this came from but this is definitely up there with the very best) | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? If good is taken as accurate then absolutely yes, of course it should sound badIf good is taken as a nice sounding system with plenty of forgiveness, warmth and oodles of extra harmonic distortion in the bass and lower mid then NO. A system that c... |
