| speakers with balls Old JBL's? The shouty west coast sound of crappy old JBL's??? This guy can do way better than that. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 No.... I'm tired of hearing this abject nonsense. By any definition, a speaker with the response of the K2 is a full range speaker. | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @geoffkait What? You make no sense. How do you see black and white in topology? I'm looking at a debate here where folks are going from 4, 5, or 6 gain stages with all kinds of feedback to 2 or 3 with very little and they're giving all the credit ... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? @mapman That jazz hasn’t been practicing in motion pictures since the 70’s. Typical those techniques are used if the target audience is women, not men.As for making making a choice between the two...Why do it? If the top is tipped up, fix it! Ther... | |
| speakers with balls I wouldn't call any Maggie's speakers with real balls. They'd be pretty much my last choice for the prog rock I like to crank until my chair vibrates. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Can somebody explain to me how you depart from musicality by embracing detail and high resolution. Isn’t that the very definition of musicality? If it doesn’t sound very clear and detailed, how can it be either musical or high fidelity. "High fide... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Dear God.... That staid dogma about tubes Geoff just spouted is such obtuse nonsense! All this magical jazz people attribute to tubes has practically nothing to do with the tubes themselves. It's far more a product of the topology. Plenty of soli... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Yeah.... I can't stand the "let's all get along" philosophy. Some people have good ideas. Some people have bad ideas. We sort them out through contending. Perhaps the psychologically frail should abstain from having opinions. There's nothing wrong... | |
| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Long wall always everywhere I've ever been. It's the best way to avoid side wall reflections and overwrought corner reenforcement. | |
| Aleph 4, or else? (good general purpose class A amp) For a high impedance speaker like you're dealing with an F4 might be a good option. It's a weird amp; it has no gain. If line level voltage won't drive your speakers, put a flea power SET behind the F4. I REALLY like my F5. Good amp for more chall... | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics I'd rather dig my cochlea out with ice picks than listen to horns, but Eric is right. Horns and line arrays are the solution. Or... ADAMs. Big freaking air-motion transformers have virtually useless vertical dispersion. AMT's sound even better in ... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 Virtually every review I've read of ant GE with active subs has commented on how they require constant fiddling between recordings to sound right. Most of my gripes with GE's are opinion and preference. The reason I liked them was that tweeter. Th... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 The thing is that all that "real good bass" is overblown. Overblown bass is what people like in home theater speakers. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses I buy fuses for my F5 in 5 packs at AutoZone. Bussman, I believe. The IEC receptical/switch/fuse/filter module I'm using has provision for dual fusing. I use one and jumper the other. It makes NO difference regardless of how I configure it. If fus... | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! @kansas400 A bit more not that I've got more time...I bought my 936's sight unseen based on the strength of hearing the 948, 926, and 726. If you're a whore for stellar imaging depth and detail, good luck beating the 900 series. Few speakers touch... |
