| What song/composition sounds like another artist? I think it is probably inevitable... For example Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Dani California" sure sounds like they copied Tom Petty "Last Dance With Mary Jane"I notice similarities all the time, I think it is almost impossible to be completely creati... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Marty,The Ohm design deserves a whole discussion in itself. I do not believe that they are immune from the laws of physics - and a large radiating surface is still going to beam - but by changing the orientation of the cone the beaming will occur ... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Focal Twin 6 are another active design that are extremely good & very popular - I agree that they would be very good as a home stereo and would make a great surround setup too. | |
| Good CD for testing bass response slothman,I luv Dragon Attack - Roger Taylor came up with most of it and played the bass as well as his usual job behind the drum set. My uncle's kids were in the same school as Rogers. | |
| Pink Floyd Samuel,Possibly, though Alan Parsons has produced some other really good sounding stuff - so it is hard to believe he did not play a significant role. It wasn't until "The Wall" that James Guthrie became directly involved with PF. | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Bob,In order to disperse evenly and widelythe driver needs to be smaller in diameter than the wavelength of the sound being produced. In order to produce upper midrange frequencies at decent volumes (for farfield applications) it requires the use ... | |
| Pink Floyd Just another quick historical note - Alan Parsons is the one responsible for the sound behind the original masterpiece DSOTM. Alan still uses B&W speakers, as far as I know, and swears by them. | |
| Pink Floyd James Guthrie begun his career working with Greg Walsh (Tina Turner etc) at Mayfair Studios London. James Guthrie now has his own studio called Das Boot in Lake Tahoe and he uses ATC's (like David Gilmour). Pretty much all the remasters of Pink Fl... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Marty,Agreed. I was referring to the majority of conventional two ways. Omni's being a rather a minority. | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? That pretty much settles it for me then. Please note that my comments on nearfield two ways is not limited to active speakers at all. | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Nearfield is indeed 2 to 6 feet. It is an important consideration in many designs as most two-way speakers run a 6 inch woofer up to 3 or 4KHZ. This makes them ONLY suitable for nearfield because already above 1KHz the woofer is starting to beam (... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? 10K input impedance is accepted as the appropriate value. Generally a minimum of 10:1 contrast between input and output impedance is desired.Raising the impedance well above 10K is not going to improve things - in fact it will likely result in gre... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Perhaps it is for the same reasons that only the stupid can not see the emperor's glorious new clothes? | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? I think that the use of specific absorbing room treatment can go a long way in adapting to the situation.Absolutely. I have seen research that suggests you need to get the reflections 21 db below the primary signal to make them inaudible (accordi... |
