| Atma-Sphere in CO? I own both the Franks and the Atma-sphere M-60's, and use the amps to drive Coincident Super Victory II's and Coincident Triumph Extreme II's. Let me say at the outset that I love both amps and have no desire to sell either. Several years ago, I... | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options All, this is one of the most useful room mode calculators/visualizers I have come across. http://www.hunecke.de/en/calculators/room-eigenmodes.html | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options @mayoradamwest, yes, this looks much more reasonable. Properly placed bass traps will not reduce the amount of bass you perceive from the listening position. You will place the traps in areas where bass accumulates and does not decay properly. ... | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options I agree with mikexxyz. Are you using a calibrated mic, or a SPL meter? Is your computer set up properly? Sometimes you need to turn off the computer mic, otherwise, that is used as the default. The high frequency roll off is very suspicious. ... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century I am going to mention 3 works I did not see above that I think have to be on this list. First, the Shostakovich piano quintet and his piano trio number 2. I would also add the Prokofiev Concerto #3. A couple more pieces that I would not nece... | |
| Room treatment and speaker placement???? I could not agree more shadowcat. I've been an audio junkie all my life, but didn't begin to understand what could be accomplished with room set up until 2 years ago. I did my listening room with conventional bass traps and such, but just recent... | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request @erik_squires gave you a ton of wisdom in a single sentence. Consider your room first. 4 years ago, I was newly retired and moved. A dedicated listening room was high on my list of must haves for the new house. I ended up buying a house with ... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? The only speaker I have personally auditioned that fits all of your criteria, and does so very well, is the Coincident Pure Reference Extreme. It is 26K. I can also say that I own both the Coincident Super Victory II speakers and the Triumph Ex... | |
| Synergistic Research HFT's OK, so one more skeptic converted. The acoustics in my living room was so bad we couldn't understand each other half the time. TV/video was a never ending exercise in hitting the back button several times and lip reading. Not infrequently, we j... | |
| Upgrade from ADS L1230 My experience with ADS speakers is similar to @kalali. They are known for really good bass, so something is amiss here. I wonder if this could be related to the age of the speaker or room problems. | |
| Promitheus TVC preamp @milpai, if you are thinking about an active, take a look at the coincident website where Israel Blume's design goals for his line stage are stated. His comments regarding his goal of capturing the benefits of a TVC were what tempted me to run th... | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? @grannyring , will do. Thanks! | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? Fascinating thread. I have considered upgrading the crossovers on my Coincident Super Victory II speakers. This discussion prompted me to take a look at the crossovers to see what might be done. I expected to find the crossovers behind the pla... | |
| Promitheus TVC preamp I have owned two Promitheus TVCs and still use one of them, the top of the line Ref C-core that Milpai has. It is still in service in my secondary system, and while it is not as good as the 5.5K Coincident Line Stage, it is close in many respects... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? @folkfreak , thanks for the info. I don't have, and won't have, any other treatments in the living room. It is too alive. No carpet. Hardwood floors and lots of windows. The room has almost no symmetry, so I wouldn't think room nodes would be... |
