| Solving the "complex music problem"? @ahuvia Your picture link does not work. The NAD M10 is likely not your weak link. Your speakers 20" from the front wall probably is. Can you get the front of the speaker at least 6 feet from the front wall? If not, keep the M10, and inves... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , The microphones will be flat. They are calibrated when used for room correction. The Lyngdorf should allow you to adjust the target curve. If you don’t find it warm enough, up the bass a bit, lower the mid-upper highs, and then ad... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I am not confused. | |
| Resistors in Parallel There is a reason why large competent engineering driven speaker companies do not add really small capacitors across larger ones. I mean Wilson, Magico, Revel, and companies like that. It is normal to parallel resistors especially if manufacturin... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I admit my limitations as opposed to doing no research and recommending an out of production amplifier not suited to the system. Run that amp in the constant current mode and you would add new +/- 3db peaks/valleys to the frequency response that a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1, @donavabdear amplifier, the BHK300, is not a tube amplifier. It has a tube input stage. The output is a high bias MOSFET AB. The damping factor is 100. That is not very high for a solid state amplifier, but would be very high for a tube am... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear , I am not up on all the latest in home audio equipment to even begin to spend $200K, and it would definitely take a good review of the space, understand what potential acoustic issues there are, etc. However, before throwing out... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Most of the DTS professional documentation is business-business only (and NDA) so I cannot post it here. The Dolby Cinema specification is here: https://professional.dolby.com/siteassets/cinema-products---documents/dolby-atmos-specifications.p... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain , It is one area where we think the ATMOS standard / specification is insufficient and lacks the framework for future extensibility, tuning, and features. ATMOS provides a rough definition for the dispersion pattern of speakers de... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I spent the first 10 years buried in engineering and didn’t get to hob knob with celebrities like some have on this topic :-) ... just a bit envious, though I have been star struck a few times since but back to the topic at hand. If you don’t min... | |
| Took the lithium ion battery plunge @carlsbad I think @antialiased means supplying the equipment. I can only relay our experience with active speakers, working in some really awful environments. AC power on the cord contributes no audible effect to the sound. Where issues exist... | |
| Looking for suggestions Never understood why people feel a need to speak for others on forums, especially when my first paragraph recognizes the comment the original poster made. | |
| Looking for suggestions I know you don't want to put in room treatment, but frankly, then, you are just rearranging the chairs. Talk to your wife, look at the colors, and options, and see what is acceptable. If you want better sound, and not just to buy new equipment (w... | |
| Took the lithium ion battery plunge I know audiophiles can be obsessed with power, but do you really think this would be any better than a medical grade isolation transformer? Engineers use these at work when they are working on open AC power. The leakage current is low so you only... | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Based on this thread, I think most of you would have a heart attack if you saw the power quality in the average studio, and I don't mean the low end ones, I mean the high end ones. It ain't pretty, but they still make great music. |
