| Martin Logan SL3 missing soundstage I used the SL3s for a couple of years and I found that if placed right, soundstage was never an issue. I had other issues eventually but soundstage was not one of them. I have noticed that soundstage comes and goes with listening height and how mu... | |
| best or craziest speakers' design.. Second the Gallos for unusual. Most people find horns of all types interesting looking, and for some reason they tend to encourage cabinetmakers to strut their stuff. I think the Cain & Cains are interesting-looking (never heard them). FWIW, I... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... rcprince, Edgar Meyer can make a double bass sound more delicate than I thought possible, especially in the upper registers.2muse, I agree the French Horn is a nice instrument (and for percussives, you can always tap the side of a french horn with... | |
| Aside form the Human voice... Given Ojgalli's caveat, and assuming an equally expressive musician per instrument, which instrument has the most room for expression? I would agree with Rcprince and say cello (and a close second probably goes to ptmconsulting's sax suggestion). ... | |
| Curious about the state of your hearing? I just did this test in a completely unsuitable environment (bad PC, just using PC piezo speaker in the case with the CPU, under an enclosed desk, with heavy office a/c and a conference call going on in the background), just to see if I could hear... | |
| Is 5 Watts enough for Horns ? Assuming the doubling of effective power per every 3db sensitivity increase (assuming both sensitivity and power are measured correctly), 5 watts at 107db is the same as 320 watts at 89db. For most 89db sensitive speakers, 320 watts would be consi... | |
| Meldau/Metheny: Thoughts? I'm disappointed to see this thread have no responses so far. While not really a Metheny fan, I have been Meldau fan for a few. I hadn't heard of this disc but will try it. Thanks much. Why don't we have more posts about music? | |
| where are Zanden dealers in the US Try asking the US distributor. Email address is on the Zanden USA website. | |
| Eric Bibb fans? I can second "Just Like Love". I happen to like most of his stuff but this one is reasonably minimalist (some solo, some not). I also like "Good Stuff." The more recent "Friends" is also good but, while far from being overdone, it is less minimali... | |
| Nationalism in Audio Products? I expect that a lot of the mark-up when moving across borders has to do with distributors, or of manufacturers doing the same job. I am not sure, and I am sure that there are many different ways of pricing to different avenues, but it could be tha... | |
| What does a vinyl record groove look like? Bookmarking this but interesting that Mark's photo of a groove and the one from Micrographia.com are so different (Mark's being jagged, and the Micrographia groove looking so smooth... | |
| Nationalism in Audio Products? Thom, a thought...The 17% VAT is not applied unequally to imported products. There may be other import duties I am unaware of but the VAT by itself is embedded in the price of the local products already, the way your products will have the VAT in ... | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Music is not my only friend and certainly not my most important one, and I can listen to music on a $10 transistor radio... I guess that makes me dysfunctional around here... | |
| If you had to pay full retail, would you...??? I am frankly shocked at people's responses. I am in this hobby to listen to music, not to trade gear. I have bought all of mine used, mostly from brick and mortar stores (a few pieces off the local equivalent of ebay) and I think I have built a re... | |
| Best movies last two years Of movies I have seen in the last several months which I liked..."Layer Cake","Munich" (coincidentally both featuring Daniel Craig, the newest James Bond), "Talladega Nights" which I expected to really hate but was "forced" into on a recent flight... |
