| Best subwoofer to complement my system. I'd have to agree with Earflappin. Sub integration for music is not that easy...and very room/speaker placement dependent. Why?...because of all those reflected and standing LF waves from three sources: two speakers and a woofer.I went for a corne... | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Henryk,It sounds like you have a strong personal dislike of B&W speakers....a bad experience perhaps? I may have messy cables and less than optimum speaker positioning, however, at least I do not bash top quality B&W speakers that are high... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Stumpie,If you like "Toys in the Attic" CD then you will be blown away by the SACD. The sound engineer did a fantastic job on the 2002 remaster....unfortunately I don't think their is a CD layer on this SACD. | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Oops Jkalman this was indeed an old thread, which I did not realize either. BTW I agree with you, B&W 800 series are simply awesome speakers...nobody can fairly say that they are not up there along with the very best in the world. I don't have... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Thanks Darkmoebius for the supporting comments, which help to emphasize that a great speaker should be able to play any kind of music well. It sounds like you were impressed with ATC 100 actives even though the Chinese drums might not be something... | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? PMC make great speakers - I read somewhere that Brian May uses them. However, your comparison may not be fair.....the FB1+ is a two way design and this is not nearly as good as a three way design such as the B&W 800 series.Frequency range spec... | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? No, never heard anything small that even remotely sounded big....unless it came with a sub woofer | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Not sure I agree with 02pete about rock music speakers being like a beer mug to beer and jazz speakers being as a crystal wine glass is to fine wine...As far as I am concerned, it is all music and a good speaker should do it all well ...as softly ... | |
| Sub size for 2 channel music in large room My experience is that LF in small drivers (usually boxed in thin, tall elegant floorstanders) sound boomy and distorted at the low end of the bass response when compared to a very high quality 12" or 15" woofer. A high quality large bass unit requ... | |
| Cables, Cables Any difference is likely to be inaudible or just barely audible - the huge difference you describe sounds like a problem somewhere (crossed wire giving incorrect phase maybe?). | |
| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer I get seamless integration, but the sub and speakers are from the same company. | |
| Review: Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier Nice review. I am not sure I agree with all the detailed "sonic qualities" discussion in the thread. As far as I am concerned the 4B-ST must be one of the all-time best value power amps available second hand. A "no-brainer" if you are like me and ... | |
| Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range I agree with Jack Dotson... good choice....the Energy Veritas 2.4i are great value. Energy were my first speakers (as a student I could not afford more expensive ones). I was very happy with Energy's and still own them. They have a tendency toward... | |
| wanting info for Duke Elliington - Digital Duke CD I have this. It is pretty good. Played in classic style. If you want a better recording then Dave Grusin Homage to Duke is far better quality, however, Digital Duke, despite the less stellar recording is the "real thing" sounding most like the ori... | |
| Frequencys charted..next step?? Dzigon,Is your room 27 by 15 with 9 foot ceilings?If it is you will get a response bump between 190 Hz and 230 Hz (roughly).You can see this on a mode plot.To get the excel file for this calculation, click this linkhttp://www.studiotips.com/tools/... |
