My soundfield was never so good ...I cannot stop listening music...

Save for my embeddings control efficiency i dont understand why , because my self active speakers are not top speakers as My Tannoy were ... But i was knowing nothing for the 45 years i owned them and i never listened to them at their top in an acoustic room as i know how to do now with my low cost speakers whyich i optimized a lot  for sure ...

I cannot stop music ....

Listening to The Herbie Nichols Trio,   Herbie Nichols Trio.  1966 recording at RVG studios. 

Hey guys,

Having never seen a small, live jazz band, I have a question.  When you go to an indoor, live concert of a trio, quartet, quintet, how loud is the volume? 
 

Thanks.

You must be doing something right with your embedding!

And this one is no less good :

Smulyan is very gifted ...

You mean in db’s ? Maybe others could answer this. I can’t.

What I can say is, it depends upon the venue’s acoustics, where you’re seated, if the instruments are mic’d and if so, the band’s preferences re: volume.

I attended quite a few performances at Yoshi’s from trios up to the Dave Holland Big Band and never had any problems. Yoshi’s has quite a high stage. The sound was consistently excellent. If the musicians are on a very low stage and you have concerns, all I can suggest is, don’t sit right in front of a horn player! If players are mic’d bring earplugs to be on the safe side.

I once went to hear The Cookers and the volume drove me out of the venue! They were louder than Rock shows I’d attended! I asked the sound guy and he said it was what the band wanted. I can only assume they are going deaf. This was a disappointment as it was my second chance to hear Billy Harper.

I dont understand how this low cost active speakers i own  can be so good ... It is my successful embeddings controls and modifications for sure , what else ?

I disliked these speakers for 12 years straight and never used them for music till i was in the obligation to modify and embed them for music because they were the only one i owned now ..

I cannot stop listening and i pity many of those who own 50,000 bucks speakers not well embedded ... 😁

For Gary Smulyan , it is a player with genius in my book not less than Ronnie Cuber ...And i prefer his musical choices ( more classic jazz)  too even if i like the two players ...

You cannot go wrong with any Smulyan albums it seems to me ...
