| Why magic at 80 db? Low-efficiency speaker like ATC and Dynaudio have this problem. Some with heavy cones need more juice before they come to life too.Just food for thought, but for anyone who thinks 80dB is quiet, try 80dB with active (no passive crossover), line ar... | |
| Recommended Bookshelf Speakers $1200 Wow, another Role Audio fan! Not sure if they will play loud enough for rock music though.I would give Ascend Acoustics CBM 170 a listen. Don't rule them out just because they are cheap. | |
| Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound Second Shadorne's rec. of Genelec. I only heard them in the store but felt they bettered Dynaudio, KRK, Mackie for natural, non-fatiguing sound. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? I don't understand how a 4" driver, even if has high efficiency due to horn loading, can move enough air to have much dynamics. A 12" driver has TEN times to surface area, not to mention much, much higher Xmax.(Forgive me but I have not read every... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Rockadanny, sure.... if people would do that. But they aren't so it's just another -list your favorite- thread. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Audiofeil, I agree. Just feeling cynical today (I wonder if there is a speaker for that). | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? 1) I disagree about horns efficient = more dynamic based on actually hearing them. Yes, they can play LOUDER as they are more efficient but as for actual dynamic contrast (difference between musical peaks) ATC active 100's were far more dynamic an... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? So, basically every speaker made is going to be someones favorite. What does this thread accomplish? | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Well, wouldn't the cable which causes less grunge (damage) be the preferred cable?If a cable which distorts the sounds is preferred, is it fair to say that it's covering another flaw somewhere else in the system? | |
| My love of music is killing me. An emotional injury can be worse than a physical injury. I would suggest 1) Eat well 2) Exercise 3) Write your thoughts down. Take care of yourself, you couldn't be good to a nicer person. | |
| Why does mixing quality'n'crap sound so good? One word - synergy.Or as one wife said "It all sounds good, just PICK ONE!!!So your speakers were L200 and the interconnects were L925????? HHhhmmmmmm | |
| Audio Magic stealth - Really that good? So has there been anything better to come along? I value clarity and conditioners like Exact power are said to change the sound - because of the transformer maybe. | |
| Audiophile Addiction Kijanki, thanks. I'm glad you've found the Holy Grail. I always seem to be 1 step away.... . . . . | |
| Ten audiophile commandments 1) Have fun.2) Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow audiophiles. | |
| Audiophile Addiction I enjoy playing with sounds -that's how I describe my time with hi-end audio. I would get real upset, real quick if I was going after the Holy Grail because:1) It doesn't exist, IMHO2) for the vast majority of the time, any stereo sounds fake comp... |
