| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @yoder You like drums, dynamics, a live visceral sound, and solid wood cabinets...? Just go back 45-50 years. https://youtu.be/iGa9259pz-I | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? So if someone tells you that they can hear (not feel) an 8 Hz or 28kHz sine wave, that doesn’t give you pause? What if tracks are accompanied by satanic rites heard only by them? Some things are beyond recognized audibility and it is a fool’s er... | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? I often think about selling this system, but would never ship it. It just doesn’t get used. The three amps were just gone through by an original Marantz Service Center Owner/Repair person. If someone were in the Orange County/Los Angeles area, thi... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Just as a matter of curiosity..., My Yamaha RX-Z9’s menu allows each input a separate, "trim" volume control so that you can match the apparent volumes from the different sources without resorting to the primary volume knob each time you change t... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS And if you could reasonably measure such a thing, how do you determine what is better? It's not like S/N ratio where you shoot for a lower number. | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I care, and I’m betting a whole lot of other people do too! And don't think that any company that could show that theirs excels above more expensive others wouldn't do it just for bragging rights. Stereophile Magazine reviewers continually talk ... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @mikhailark I’m not taking about a sound field distribution across a room, which I would call "soundstage," but more the ability to "precisely locate" specific instruments in a 3-dimensional space, which I would call "imaging." If this can in f... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS ...If you know what to measure and have the means to measure it. How does one measure imaging? | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I don’t think he know what he’s talking about. The cabinets are no longer made of Corian though that’s what he said. He make a huge deal about the tweeter and midrange sharing a common cable out of the crossover so that the tweeter has to go thr... | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? Mac is now owned by Bose. Will it affect value knowing the Bose stigma? | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @ckr1969 At the end of the day, all cars should be able to get over a regular speed bump or up a gravel driveway, especially at 1.6 million dollars. No one said anything about off-roading well, just driving along a typical unpaved dirt road wit... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @ckr1969 Couldn't one also use the same rationale to say that at over 1.6 million dollars, a Bugatti Veyron should be able to go off-roading? | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy The Sasha's would be better for rock music (more bass where you need/feel it) and the speakers measure about the same otherwise, which one would expect as they use pretty much the same other components. A WWP with a sub would probably be the best... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @chrisoshea There is no contradiction. I told you why he feels that way. Whether you choose to accept it is another thing. | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS But who's to say what "sounds good/bad"? One can always use the argument that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but we know it goes beyond that and there are standards (e.g., symmetry). |
