| The best speaker you ever heard? TBGSounds like you have found a solution, even though I have no idea what TIbetan bowls are (although now I am a bit hungry). I think it supports the point that a playback "system" includes your room. And yes, getting a good room can be a lifelong... | |
| how high is the drop test at ups? I ship a lot of high end goods (expensive large diaphragm tube microphones) every day. I've had lots of stuff dropped. UPS and FedX seem about the same to me, I think its just what happens to that particular box that time. The only universal I hav... | |
| Drive two speakers from one amp? Also keep in mind impedance is not a constant thing-it varies with freq. So if nominal 8 Ohms, it could be a good deal lower than that at spots in the frequency response. So in parallel it could be a good lower than 4. This will heat your amp up a... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Hi EdorrYes the crossover applies to the mains and a lot of speaker manufacturers (like ATC) dislike the idea. Others do it out of compliance if they plan to sell a lot of small 5.1 systems in post-the customers (in this case post production engin... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers I should being this by saying I am from the pro side. Pros feel the best way is always to run the mains full range, use a Low Pass filter on the sub that's being fed the same full range signal. However, for movies, the correct movie set up uses a ... | |
| Center Channel Speakers In A Movie Theater? I used to be in charge of product for Cinema for JBL. Its the same speaker in the center as the left and the right-and that's how we did it at the Academy of Motion Pictures as well. In a correct film mix, dialogue is the ONLY thing supposed to co... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'd be willing to bet, reading some polar opposite posts about "best" being low cost and weird speakers alike, that it was more about what was the best ROOM. In my world (recording/mastering studios), its ALL about the room. A mix can blow you awa... | |
| will they go louder Sounds real audio-that was elegantly simple great advice! My advice was too complicated.Brad | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps From a speaker perspective, big movement like that is way wrong. You are seeing a speaker attempt to reproduce a subsonic wave, introduced into the system by the playback system (turntable). Count how many times a second it moves and you have the ... | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Stone floors are gigantic audio reflectors. Throw a thick blanket or quilt over that floor just in front of your speakers (first reflections) and prepare to be amazed. Your windows and doors open = fewer reflections.Brad | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Montejay, how right you are. Most great mastering engineers know what mixes NOT to take and most great mixers encourage their clients to hire the best mastering engineers. It all supports the point: look for the people BEHIND the music and follow ... | |

| Have you treated your listening space? "I would rather listen to mid-fi in a hi-fi room than hi-fi in a mid-fi room."Couldn't have said it better Mr Werner! The mid fi system in the hi fi room will sound far better, image better. Look at RPG panels, not those foam things. Get a mix of ... | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Room sound is THE issue for professional studios. Some rooms are very famous for their specific sound such as the big room at East West, where Frank Sinatra recorded (with orchestra) or the "Pet Sounds" room (Beach Boys) at East West, or the big r... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list For great recordings, why not follow the top mix engineers? Famous Blue Raincoat, that's George Massenburg and Frank Wolf. George also does all LInda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle stuff. He did Joshua Judges Ruth (Lyle Lovett) and this new gal I just lov... |
