| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Dalis have a nice warm sound and decent bass. They're a pleasant sounding speaker. | |
| Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one? jafant, check at the Steve Hoffman music forums for a discussion of the cds, etc. | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I just looked up the links that you provided, johnk. I have no problem at all with people listening to speakers from the 30s and saying that they prefer that sound above all other.I simply disagreed with what you appear to believe, that there has ... | |
| High-Resolution Audio: You Can Hear Me Now "trained test subjects could distinguish between formats approximately 60% of the time."Well, 60% correct is not knockin' it out of the park, but the equipment used and the listening conditions are not always ideal in these studies. | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? OK johnk, You found a guy on ebay selling boxes without drivers, seller name: mymuseum, and a company that imports replica drivers (from China?) that are probably made with current materials and technology. No crossovers or other necessary electr... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? johnk, Why do you have trouble understanding that 30s speakers may perform as well or better than current speakers FOR YOU and your listening preferences, but others find that much progress has been made since then and prefer current speakers. I’d... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? 12 people walked on the moon. Enough about the moon.Well, on sound quality, I guess we'll have to disagree and leave it at that. I intend to look for better sound in new products and I hope that someday you'll find a pair of antique theater spea... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? As 213runnin pointed out, we could go back to the moon today but we couldn’t do most of what’s being done today in the 60s. Go to Space.com or the Hubble Telescope website to see some awe inspiring pictures. People were excited about going to the ... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? I think that we could send people to the moon more safely and comfortably and be able to gather much more useful data now than we could in the 60s. The Apollo missions were more about national pride and developing technology that would help us in ... | |
| Atmasphere amps trustable? mtoc, Ralph Karsten posts here and there are many discussions about his amps which he participates in. Just type Atmasphere into the search function.Ralph’s amps are highly regarded by many. Power tubes can blow though, and I don’t know how well p... | |
| Priorities... If you’re not a really, really good negotiator, temporarily trading your amps down and then back up is going to cost quite a bit, i.e. loss of value on items you’re selling, shipping costs, Audiogon fees, etc. Those amps are heavy and all that buy... | |
| Fremer tours the Audio Technica factory Fremer does lose his temper in vinyl vs digital debates, which is unfortunate. You would think that someone who does so much blissed out listening could control his temper a little better.I enjoy his no nonsense review writing style. He does say r... | |
| MQA - One Filter to Rule them All? I believe Meridian has a $399 MQA Dac and a $22,000 MQA player. I doubt they sound the same. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Why do some people have the need to convince everyone that their brand of speakers are the best for everyone? People have to listen for themselves and decide which speakers they like best. There are many different brands of speakers that sound g... | |
| Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials What you are hearing is not a plastic plectrum striking a steel string but the soundwaves travelling through the air that this action produces. Actually, you are mostly hearing the resonance of the wooden body in the case of an acoustic guitar. Sp... |
