| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? Congrats Uberwaltz. Great choice! | |
| RCA to XLR vs XLR to RCA... Converting Input or Output - Does It Matter?? Either will work. You seem to be aware that XLR is significantly superior to RCA. Pro level balanced XLR (higher signal level than cheap consumer grade) is the best you can get. | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound ATC are an alternative to Harbeth. Harbeth has some FM radio style warmth to their sound. ATC are more neutral sounding. If you want more warmth than Harbeth then try Sonus Faber. | |
| 2way speakers @kenjit My apologies. Let me know what else you want to discuss in more detail. I am sure the experienced folks at Audiogon can help. There are extremely few speaker designs that don’t have any weaknesses at all but ATC and Harbeth are up there am... | |
| 2way speakers @kenjit You are assuming that I stated that even frequency response and even dispersion is the only criteria for evaluating speakers. It isn’t. Dr Floyd Toole research conclusively demonstrated that these two factors are however extremely importan... | |
| 2way speakers @audiokinesis Agreed. You can’t argue the physics. Even off axis dispersion or even power response was discovered in the 70’s. I think reknown manufacturers like B&W know this but B&W has built a succesful global business selling designs w... | |
| 2way speakers @kenjit If EQ works well for you then tune the sound of a cheap speaker to what you like best. Software like Roon has DSP control. We all have various hearing ability and tastes. Audioengine make excellent two ways that may work for you. B&W a... | |
| 2way speakers Well as you probably know these are highly successful two way designs. So it seems that you have a preference for something with heavier bass - more flavour so to speak. So a mid range dip two way may actually suit you - B&W all have a big mid... | |
| 2way speakers The problem with most two ways is the hole or BBC dip in the mid range. This is because the woofer/mid has to work too high in frequency and it starts to beam above 1 KHz. Try to listen to ATC SCM 19. This design has an even dispersion from their ... | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson Congrats on finding the right speaker for you. | |
| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s JL D108 would be another option. Unfortunately great subwoofers aren’t cheap. | |
| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s JL E110 will do the job and it will certainly enhance your experience. I would not go with anything ported or low cost as it simply will ruin the bass response and lower mid range of your speaker. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @skyscraper The demo would be Joan Baez Diamonds and Rust - it was a demo favourite back then. Bring your own music. You may may be challenged if your reference is Dalquist DQ-10.The best speaker will sound good with everything. Listen carefully f... | |
| add a Schiit EITR? More details. The Dunn J test is what Stereophile use. It is a worst case scenario. It exercises all bits and uses an LSB signal with a full output signal. https://www.ap.com/download/apx-j-test-jitter-measurement-utility/ If a device passes this ... | |
| add a Schiit EITR? According to Stereophile, the jitter rejection of the Brooklyn DAC is superb (unlike their tests of Schiit products). So it should not be necessary to buy a Schiit Eitr. |
