| Speaker cables which bring out more bass? Pabelson,LMAO! | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Stevecham,I agree with you. A phase irregularity or sharp slope on the phase vs frequency plot is very likely to end up with something that is very wrong; but all I am saying is that even if wrong, it may sound pleasant.Nothing could create sharpe... | |
| sealed 3-ways One man one goal one mission. One heart one soul just one solution. One real decision: find the right speaker!Since ATC is on your list, you might want to check out PMC IB1. PMC speakers are designed in a very similar way (3 " dome mid range) and ... | |
| Speaker cables which bring out more bass? I am not sure how you could increase base with speaker cables unless you filtered the mid and high range.In general, if loudness, EQ, room placement or a bigger amp can't do enough for your bass then I would suggest that the only practical way to ... | |
| Cable Break-in....again? Robert,Apologies if I came across a bit abrupt...you are right...I see now that you were just making a comment in a light hearted way and I took it more seriously than you intended. ( I see the end of your post was a bit tongue-in-cheek ) I was ju... | |

| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Opalchip,Well said.Stevecham,I don't think it is as grim a picture as you paint. Speaker design is necessarily an exercise in compromise. Phase alignement should be critical in producing a speaker that gives accurate timbre. I agree that this is n... | |
| balanced vs unbalanced If your equipment is working fine, you have no ground loops, long interconnect runs between components or some noisy electromagnetic sources/wires very close by (like an AC) then I doubt you can hear any difference.Balanced will be better in any o... | |
| ATC C6 Sub- How Good is it?? I have had the ATC C6 for 7 years. No problems so far. Mine makes an audible click when you turn it on or off, and always has done - so I think this is quite normal. It has a built in X-over filter, 180 degree phase switch, level adjustement, and ... | |
| Stupid Question-What's the best way to choose? Make careful and critical listening tests - blind listening if possible. Perhaps, audio may be deeply affected by perception and expectation, making it is quite easy to think something sounds better just by the look of it or by some technical hype... | |
| Audiophile Classical cds? Sugarbrie is right Zander has done some masterful stuff. I met him a couple of years ago in Boston. Terrific person as well as a legendary conductor.Zander produced a CD of Mahler's 3rd with the Boston Philharmonic which includes a bonus CD with Z... | |
| Cable Break-in....again? Like it or not, it seems this discussion thread has gone quiet. | |
| BEST monitor speaker with a 90db senitivity rating Check out what the Pros use."Monitors" are used professionally for mixing/mastering music. If you want the BEST for "monitoring" then I suggest you look in pro studio/recording magazines or check out pro studio websites to see their equipment list... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics To follow up on Cdc's commentsI use ATC SCM 100 active monitors, an SCM 0.1/15 sub and the SCM 20's. I fear the 20's may be a little small for your needs (they definitely need a sub). I am not sure about the 50's as I have not heard them.What I ca... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Anthem AVM-20 or 30 is excellent. I spent ages studying the issue of 2 channel and multi-channel from a single device and ended upselecting the AVM-20. It is one of THE most flexible DSP pre-amps out there and includes balanced outputs (critical f... |
