| Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System Of the subs you mention, only the Velodyne HGS 15 will be of excellent musical quality (around 1% THD). The other two are more for movies, the Earthquake has a passive radiator and is almost certain to have 20% harmonic distortion at the lowest fr... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? I'm driving $1,400.00 monitor speakers with $11,000.00 worth of amp/pre-amp. Oh yeah, and $3,450.00 in wires. Tomryan,FWIW, IMHO, Assuming that you already have a great amp/pre-amp and source (at that price it most certainly better be good).....t... | |
| Censored by Apple: Front Row Critique I have a wireless card in my mac mini. You can send your tracks from Itunes to an Airport Express connected to your audio system from wherever you sit....just move you Mac to a side table near where you sit...Remotes for selecting/manipulating mus... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Reubent,Thx for the update. Wow, that is a lot of change in just over a year. How much longer will you stick with the current setup - or have you found Audio Nirvanna? | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Here is the price breakdown (all purchased used) of my current system:CD player $1000Amp $600Speakers $400Your System list prices indicate that your speaker is roughly half the new cost of the equipment...a balanced investment, IMHO. Great that t... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Cutting to the chase here, in my opinion speakers make the most difference. Could not agree more with this statement. $2K on speakers and more than $10K on amps, source, interconnects & speaker cables is a typical but much misguided approach ... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? OMG...I have watched this thread for several days...such lame suggestions...pop just ain't the medium for this, IMHO, I mean come on ...."My baby takes the morning train", Sheena Easton , "Heart of Glass" or "Rapture" by Blondie or "Zig A Zig ahhh... | |
| Any comments on the MBL 121 Compacts I assume you know the drivers in even an expensive speaker (costing $10K or more) only cost a couple of hundred dollars Quite often true, but MBL is not the only manufacturer that make their own drivers. A few others use expensive drivers too. BT... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... You may want to contact Rives or Realtraps. If you buy something from them they'll be very open to advice for you. Warnerwh, I think that is a good plan but once I take that step I will find myself committed. That is whay I like Audiogon forums..... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Shadorne...Rives audio, who certainly are great believers in room treatments, will tell you that low frequency problems can't be fixed this way. The above comment is my worry exactly...I am sure acoustic treatment is essential and extremely benef... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... So you may be best just going after the most Bass trapping possible with aesthetic appeal you can in that room and hope for results with your subs My thoughts exactly. Big rooms are generally better than smaller rooms but they can suffer from ver... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Amandarae,Good suggestion this design will certainly have a good transient response. I can't help but agree with the quote below from the link you gave (it is kind of obvious that Linkwitz is an engineer and not in marketing). I have no problem, i... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? To kind of add to this thread, moving on from the Analog or digital, surround or stereo divides, I suggest that it is hard to create reality from a few squiggles (Analog or digital, mono, stereo or 7.1). There are a couple of areas that can be imp... | |
| Am I the only one purchasing hybrid disc's....... The variation in the quality of studio recording, mix and mastering is far greater than CD, DVD-A or SACD, IMHO. Some will be worse and some will be better. The SACD remaster of Aerosmith Toys in the Attic was done by Doug Sax - it sounds awesome ... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Undertow and Warnerwh,How much acoustic panel treatments did you need to add before you noticed an improvement in the bass? Square footage or linear feet of bass trap? What do you recommend if you desperately want to minimize the amount of ugly pa... |
