| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Doesn’t exist! Have a read up on Fletcher Munson Curve.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour Some will tell you XYZ speaker does it. In my experience those guys seem to enjoy music with zero bass or dynamics. I can’t.My only ad... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Saw Van Morrison once. Pure torture. He came across as a proper pompous, tedious little twat.As a teen I saw (I believe) Deep Purple's last ever gig in Liverpool. Spinal Tap really nailed that era. Tedious solos. Tommy Bolin could hardly st... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? IMHO, you can't get a bigger sound than when a speaker completely disappears. I've never heard a 15" driver that imaged well or disappeared and they sound flat & lifeless at low volumes.Have a play with placement.http://www.cardas.com/room_s... | |
| What makes speaker's sound big? I've owned Tannoy FSM with 2x15" drivers per unit. Also owned little Harbeth P3ESR. When I set up the P3 using the "Golden Ratio" (speakers 1/3rd from front wall, listening position 1/3rd from rear wall) the speakers disappeared & the whole... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening Your ears! @jnorris2005 beat me to it. Fletcher Munson Curve.Having said that, clearly some speakers are better at low volumes than others, otherwise Studios wouldn’t have Nearfield, Mid & Full Monitors.I’ve sold off a long list of speakers... | |
| Can flexible power cables sound good? Some of you guys really need to go outside occasionally.Stretch your legs. Breath some fresh air.If only your doors had flexible hinges... | |
| “Marks on the underside” Always include Hi Rez pics of every surface (underside incl) & describe every mark accurately. | |
| Priorities @mc ....to pontificate that a power cord is equally important to sound quality as the speakers you choose is pure nonsense.Not if you rely on daily Shock Therapy! | |
| Priorities Is this his way of admitting he’s registered deaf???It would explain a lot.Probably claim he’s Beethoven reincarnated next. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Don’t bite @djones51Audiofools don’t like blind tests.I once took a Chinese DAC board I’d bought from eBay to a “bake off” (not sure what you call Hifi meet-ups in US?).It was hooked up into the same Pre amp as a fancy milled Aluminium Chord 64. ... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Jesus, this fella drones on like the Linn house sound. | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? Never ceases to amaze me how grown men act like you’ve insulted their kids if you don’t like their Hifi 😂 | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Quote larry5729Bet if you did a blind test, most people would buy the BlueSound Node2i. I added a DAC and had to sell it on Audiogon. The BlueSound sounded better on its own. I call it the Emperor's New Cloths syndrome. If you spend more, you ... | |
| 0s & 1s are all the same aren’t they? Is it really worth paying for a “better” Streamer? @ironlung 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for that.Should I also learn how to tap my toes? | |
