| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers Mikej do you have insider information on the new Vandersteens? I've read nothing that indicates the Quatro is a 3ASig with integrated 2WQ subs. In fact considering it's 4 driver design and enclosure size my best guess is that it's a standalone 4 w... | |
| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers New Vandersteen Quatro. Worth waiting for to atleast audition before making a move. I think Stereophile mentioned a spring release.http://www.shows.soundstagelive.com/shows/ces2004/standout_vandersteen.shtml | |
| Classical fans, I need advice A few clear things I've learned after all of your suggestions. I enjoy the weight, warmth (cello?) and body an orchestra can add to solo performances. I enjoy the dynamics between each in a concerto as long as the orchestra doesn't overpower the s... | |
| Classical fans, I need advice I should clarify what I meant by the "right" Beethoven Violin concerto. The three I listed are simply labels known to me. Each has a reputation for quality sound. I figure my best chance to grow within the genre is to get the best recorded sound o... | |
| static electricity Just touch the metal of one of your components that doesn't send a large crack sound through your speakers first. Then touch the pre. My ARC pre will sometimes freak out to static discharge. A reset fixes everything in this rare situation. However... | |
| Classical fans, I need advice Bomarc,I own two XRCD's. The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over which is mostly fantastic sounding and a reference for redbook. It has some pronounced vocal sibilance but overall its a great disc.My other XRCD is terrible. Dire Straits - Brother in Arms. ... | |
| Classical fans, I need advice Jim,Indeed it's fun and you have a deal sir! Also take a quick peek at who produced your Nickel Creek discs. | |
| Classical fans, I need advice Wow! Thanks much for the response everyone. I enjoyed reading each and every one. I will be listening to samples of everything mentioned here over the weekend. If something jumps out and grabs me I will let you all know!I was also going to say I w... | |
| Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone? This thread makes me wonder why frequency sweep measurements aren't standard practice in cable reviews. Unless I'm just reading the wrong publications..I fail to see how a company with a solid reputation and wide customer base could benefit from p... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Drew when you make the switch from 80hz 2nd order to 40hz 4th order you will absolutely notice a difference in directionality of your mains. Any panned image utilizing each channel from 80hz and lower will create a more palpable image. A horse rid... | |
| TEAC Esoteric X-01 SACD/CD Player I actually called TEAC-USA to ask when more information would be available. They said the unit will be imported to the US sometime by mid 2004. The rep mentioned it will likely only be available in silver which is strange considering the DV-50 is ... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Dont put words in my mouth Eldartford. I haven't recommended any specific crossover point. I mentioned where MY system is crossed at. I have in fact stated its VERY system and room specific several times. I have also stated that preserving as much... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup I would like to add a few responses to exertfluffer. Some of what I said you responded to out of context. No worries and Im not going to troll through what you've said to quote, your posts are huge! :)I somewhat resent your comments about 2ch. aud... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup Eldartford, simple answer. Proper directionality (localization) of low frequency information mixed into the 5 channel soundtrack. Throwing everything to a sub located in a corner ruins the mix. If there is a 70hz buzz in right rear channel I want ... | |
| where do you cross over your ht setup You guys are nuts! :)Eldartford first.. I dont think you have followed what ive said very closely. I do crossover my speakers just not at THX cinema standard 80hz or higher. Its a waste if you have useful linear output below that point. Kgveteran ... |
