| Beat This Track!!!! (For Soundstage effect) I guess it depends on whether one wants a natural sounding soundstage, that is a result of good recording methods and techniques, capturing the existing ambient and spatial cues of the venue where the performance is occurring. Or soundstage create... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? As I said earlier in this thread, I have compared 2 speakers, one set time aligned, the other set, not. They are Jeff Bagby's DIY kits, the "Kairos" speakers, and his "Adelphos". Same drivers (the great SB Acoustics 'Sartori' ring radiator tweete... | |
| You Cant Buy It but you Can Build It I have been a long time advocate of DIY with regards to speakers. There are so many great, very high end level speaker kits available, by well respected designers. The end results are almost guaranteed to best the sound of commercially available s... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass -More enjoayble sound stage This is something that does not get mentioned often enough. Although, it is probably more related to classical music recorded in a concert hall, more than other types of music, at other venues, or a studio. There is... | |
| Sonus faber center speaker as front? I would definitely contact Sonus Faber on this. Most center channel speakers that I am aware of, are not just regular MTM speakers that you place on their side. I believe there are other design differences in order for the center channel to do t... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? You should definitely look into some of the offerings from Pure Audio Project. Pure Audio Project Like the Quintet 15 (if you have a large room), or the Quintet 10. Or maybe something in the Trio line. Nice thing about these speakers (other tha... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? It seemes to me, that if all else was equal, but one speaker was not time and phase alligned, and the other was, the one that was would sound better. And I even have a bit of pretty strong evidence that this is the case. The late Jeff Bagby, wel... | |
| High Fidelity Sound Speaker I’ve been away from the speaker forum for a while. Didn’t "mozartfan" post under a different name at one time? | |
| What song have you played the most? My collection is pretty large, and so much of it I place on pretty equal footing as far as quality, so it would be almost impossible to pick out one "most played song". I will break it up among the 3 different genres I listen to. Here are my be... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? As long as this old thread has been brought back from the dead, I might as well pitch in my feelings. I have no problems buying Chinese cable "clones", because I am not taking any money out of the pockets of the real companies. As much as I spend... | |
| Audiophile virtues I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that music and the love of sound don’t have to be mutually exclusive. But the music MUST COME FIRST. After that the sound can be thoroughly enjoyed for what it is. i DONT believe (as some evidently do) that ... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. I think some of you miss the point. No one has claimed that being a virtuoso guarantees that they will produce memorable music. The point is simply that having a larger, more diverse musical arsenal opens up a lot more musical possibilities to th... | |
| Is today’s contemporary music lacking? For those who don’t believe that pre-year 2000 popular music represents the pinnacle of the genre and that nothing of value has been produced since, here are just a few of the great and unsurpassed chart toppers from the 60’s-90’s: Yes, but th... | |
| Audiophile virtues Let me preface this, with saying, that I am a music first audiophile. It is my love of music, that got me into audio in the first place. During my serious, music listening sessions, I pay no attention to the gear. With that being said, that does... |
