| Experience Loading Speakers w/ sand or shot I would be concerned about putting this in a speaker as you have just created an internal acoustically reflective interface in the speaker box and changed the compressability by replacing compressable air with much less compressable sand (air volu... | |
| Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V? This reference type speaker is often used for monitoring/mastering; IMHO, stick with the Dunlavy V's (provided you like their straight forward accurate qualities).IMHO, some reasons to change might be;1) if you were to move and the V's were simply... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? These are a tough load for a tube amp...change the tube amp for an SS amp with 250+ WPC and your beloved Linbrooks will sing.... | |
| Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto You would be hard pressed to out-class them (Callistos) with anything you could put in front of them regardless of pricetag. Would you recommend selling larger and much higher priced speakers and use the proceeds on more expensive cables and the ... | |
| Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto IMHO, I agree with several of the above suggestions to spend much more on the speaker and much less on the cables (10:1 ratio, Speaker to Cable, is probably more than generous enough for the cable, especially if they are driven by an SS amp). Afte... | |
| Genelec Speakers opinions If clarity, accuracy, dynamics and ability to play loud with correct timbre is your thing... then either is a great choice. Bass will be lean and tight...the 1037C can be soffit mounted for even better performance. (Personally I would go for the t... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Jea48,Agreed, many love that tube sound....and changing ics and speaker cables on SS gear is not very likely to achieve teh same. | |
| How to balance tube on top, solid on the bottom? Many pro power SS amps have sensitivity pots (my Bryston 4B does). You can adjust these to match the level in your tubes.Biamping is probably only worth the trouble if you eliminate the passive crossover in the speakers. I hope you are planning to... | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Sgt Pepper was indeed a milestone....a studio album that took you on a journey rather than just a collection of songs...IMHO, it kind of helped to create the rock opera era that followed where artists embellished and further explored the concept. | |
| The Search Bartokfan,I was wondering why speakers that are designed from the molecular level up, would use a third party driver. However, this may only be marketing talk... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Newbee,I didn't mean that tubers were trying to fix or flatten tube sounds by changing cables etc... all I meant was that tubes tend to accentuate these changes whilst SS gear often makes these kind of changes almost inaudible.Therefore people wit... | |
| The Search Bartokfan,Since many manufacturers use SEAS, the Thors kit must be extremely good and good value, as you remove one step in supply the chain. Ahh, but you completely lose all that marketing hype no full page adds and glowing reviews showing Bartok... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Keneallyfan,What you point out also explains the fascination with cables more often found with tubed gear...of course with a high output impedance even the speaker cables begin to play a role in modifying the sound coloration...SS amps tend to be ... | |
| The Search It is over for me. Speakers that are good enough for extensive use in many of the world's top recording and mastering studios, are certainly more than good enough for me. | |
| Best Rock Drummers The most accomplished drummmer I have ever come across is Steve Ferrone...although not well known he can play anything as good as if not better than the best (very rare as most drummers are not able to cross over from one genre to another). Steve ... |
