| 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... | |
| Rock musicians with musical education. My overall feeling about this, but this may be pejudiced by the types of music I listen to, is that, an advanced musical education, in both technique and theory, is much more likely to help, rather than harm the resulting music. If a musician or ... | |
| What are your top 5 Windham Hill recordings? The only ones that hold up for me, are he Shadofax releases. First of all, they have more complexity and band interplay than most of the others I have heard, and since they originally came from the prog genre, they still retain quite a bit of the... | |
| Pat Martino Joyous Lake is another good one. He always seems to get passed over when many people talk about great fusion guitarists.Holdsworth, McLaughlin, Di Meola, Gambale, Metheny, Henderson, Coryell, all of abut the same generation of players, seem to get... | |
| Is today’s contemporary music lacking? I get so frustrated every time I see this subject come up on music forums. Listen, I am in my 60's, but the main problem I have with new music, is keeping up with all the great new stuff coming out, in several genres, from all over the world.I the... | |
| Would your familiarity with the music played effect your test performance? With regards to most studio rock recordings, I would say, for the most part yes. Mostly because of familiarity.But with classical and acoustic jazz, not so much. I am pretty much only a fan of modern, avant-garde and contemporary classical music (... |
