| Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked? If electronics slew rate is a limiting factor, obviously the more sensitive speaker is at an advantage because the equipment doesn't have to slew as many volts to reach the same volume level. Assuming the same electronics (amp), the slew rate is ... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Unless you were to match the 590s and 4367s to the same volume, your test is invalid. I doubt that both speakers have the same sensitivity, so one will be at an obvious disadvantage unless you have the means to match their volumes. | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Life is a compromise. Don’t make the mistake of giving up one desireable parameter for another. For example, while electrostatic panels may provide the the desired transient response, you could easily give up soundstage and imaging because sound ... | |
| Don't do anything! Daily changes in barometric pressure? This affects the speed of sound and therefore the peaks and troughs relative to where you sit. | |
| Looking for a component for ripping and playing CD's. Yes, from my understanding, the OPPO105 does rip. I have the BDP-95 and it doesn't rip. My understanding was this was the primary differentiation for the newer model. Later they added the Darby video enhancement to the 103/105. Of course this ... | |

| The Horror Actually, I think that the rooms were not all that bad for sound, and certainly better than most people’s home listening spaces. The rooms were actually quite large compared to a regular living room and set up symetrically. Speakers were typicall... | |
| The Horror I did not see the Dana Point Room as I never got to that part of the lobby until I picked up my program before leaving. I guess that I didn't realize there was even a room over there. Damn! | |
| The Horror I came home and today I fired up Pink Floyd and feel pretty damn good about my system. I assume that you saw the PBN system with six JBL 18"s, two JBL 12"s, and an AMT in the big ballroom? Mine is similar but with just one JBL 18" (2241H), one JBL... | |
| Are your speakers losing air? It’s not just the room. The higher the frequency, the more it attenuates with distance as it is absorbed by the atmosphere, slightly heating it in doing so. This goes beyond "spreading losses." | |
| Parking at T.H.E. Show in Costa Mesa? I parked two floors below the hotel (sign said event parking) and there was a door to get in to the lower level ballrooms right there. Nobody cares about wrist bands and the elevators to the upper floors were open to the general public. There wa... | |
| T.H.E. Show in Costa Mesa on Friday I was really looking forward to hearing the Magicos, but somehow missed them. Maybe they just weren't demoed at the time I was there. Their Estelons sounded very nice. Was also looking forward to hearing Focals (nope), MBLs (nope), and even som... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? The very reason I bought this house was for the symmetrical living room..., but could always do better. | |
