| Dynaudio or Ohm? Mapman, I can't thank you enough for the info provided. My #1 question has been answered... can I enjoy realistic classical music, specifically symphonic with the Ohms. I have a season package for the Phila. Orchestra, so I know what live music so... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? One last question...I'd like some clarification on some aspects of the Ohm's. They project a wide, deep image where the soundstage is at the front of the room. The instrument position; eg, a guitar, is constant while the listener moves in space.No... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Mapman, I'm not limited to low volume listening by any means, but I wanted to get a sense of how they perform. Low volume is the Dynaudio's weak spot; just like you said, the lows and the highs are not as present. I read that the Ohm driver can be... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Thanks, Polarin. We're all critical listeners at times, but I think you made your point. I'm not looking for a detailed speaker with crisp highs (as so many modern spkrs are). I'm looking for a natural presentation where I can enjoy symphonic musi... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Thanks, Mapman for such well thought-out information. It makes me want to hear some symphonic music thru the Ohms. I have good power conditioning and a high power/high current amp with the Sunfire, so driving either speaker is no problem. The only... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Listened to the Dynaudio Focus 340, a B&W CM floorstander and PSB Synchrony One which I home auditioned, but was too big for my room. Focus 340 was my fav, but will be too large for my room.In another shop, listened to Dali Mentors and Rega RS... | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Wolf...good storage practices; low humidity, records stacked vertically? Or is it that we worry too much about the longevity of a vinyl record? | |
| Need your LP purchase assistance For truly great SQ remasters; Pink Floyd and King Crimson. | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? Agreed. That's why recording studios are built that way; with sonics the priority and keeping out external sound. Those rehearsal rooms are not concerned with keeping the true sonics of the instrument, the concern is a quiet room inside and out. ... | |
| Cudos to Brent Jesse You can tell he loves his work. He returns email inquiries quickly and his tube advice is invaluable. One time he told me not to order until the following week when he'd be back home with some fresh stock. | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? I think the concept is sound; a room within a room, like a recording studio. Can you consult with a general contractor who has built recording studios? I think any prefab unit may be expensive and may not completely fulfill your needs. How large i... | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? The Black Cat Wenger is designed for music, but what is concerning is the tonality of the room as stated; "Nine different acoustic simulations provide acoustic settings of a variety of different practice environments; from Arena to Cathedral." and... | |
| primer on buying vintage tubes? Margot, the most common way a tube goes bad is to die a natural death. It happens over time, and you'll notice that the highs in your system aren't as bright or the music isn't as dynamic as it used to be. Very often, the tell-tale signs of a tub... | |
| primer on buying vintage tubes? In the days before solid state, electronics devices needed tubes to perform their various functions. There were many factories around the world manufacturing tubes, the quality was high, and the sonic signature of each brand was different. Germany... | |
| 6SN7 tube question Definitely low noise, low microphonics. Matched tubes not so important in a preamp, except for the possibility that the 2 tubes being tested and having close specs may result in a similar life expectancy. |
