| How did they do that? It's called colorless reverberation. Manfred Schroeder of the old Bell Labs was the guy who understood it. I don't know enough physics to answer your question but you might find an explanation on line from a Schroeder treastise.(Schroeder was the ... | |
| is creek5350se best integrated for 1000-1200 bucks There is yet another one you might consider. Do a google search for http://www.avahifi.com and link through to the "control" amplifier. | |
| Maggie 1.6QR vs 3.6R and Room Size Someone will correct me(please)if I'm wrong but I believe the 3.6s are one decibel less efficient than the 1.6s. That is close enough that the differences in amplitues, being fed the same signals, are not that big a deal. The 3.6s have "real" ribb... | |
| The Power of Positioning Yep. Putting bookcases behind the speakers avoids foam.Another trick is to place tapestries at the first side refection points(especially with box speakers) and on the wall behind the listeners;let your wife pick them. My RaFOTRE is the one volume... | |

| Which recording best highlites your speakers?? This is germane to my maggie 1.6 qrs but also applies to conventional speakers.Technology has advanced to the point that timbre and frequency extreme is good even on fairly inexpensive speakers. In many instances,imaging is a matter of placement a... | |

| Is less than 24 bits worth it? Let me disclose that I'm not an engineer. That said,I'd rather have a good,well made 16 than a 24 that has been rushed to market untested. | |
| What do audio shops need to do to survive ? Now,if you order something on line from Van Alstine or Odyessey(to name two reliable suppliers),it takes a while for it to be built and delivered. At some point,manufacturing technologies will advance to the point that the interval between order a... | |
