| Claude #2 You’re frustrated, and you’re certainly entitled to leave if you feel the conversation isn’t worth your time. But calling others’ posts “rambling” or accusing the forum of having “zero conceptual discipline” doesn’t exactly invite better dialogue ... | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? @kofibaffour Thanks! Amazing. Palessi. LOL. I look at high end audio speakers that cost as much as a luxury car and I have to ask why? The car is incredibly more complex to make, has thousands more custom parts. Shipping cost, dealer showro... | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? There is a myth that many people believe. "If it costs more it must be better." Because the speaker is $5k doesn't mean it sounds better. In fact, there are marketing strategies used to trick the puplic by simply raising the price on an item to... | |

| Bass management--high/low pass filtering @bimmerlover if you know anything about logarithmic scales, at -10 dB it has dropped to a meaningless sound level, so has essentially -6 dB. The F328Be:s taper out at 35 Hz at -3 dB, which is still a meaningful sound pressure. Exactly my po... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering @bimmerlover Your speakers have triple 8" drivers for excellent bass resonse. 24Hz (-10dB); 26Hz (-6dB); 35Hz (-3dB) By crossing at 80hz. you cut them off at the knees. Why buy a speaker this capable and then put a choke on them? I'd bet the ... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering @avanti1960 +1 Adding complexity and restricting the speakers won't help anything. They are design to be full range. | |
| Eyes open or closed? Open, and with good imaging I can see the performers. Especially with a black background. Closed eyes I'd be asleep in no time. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I think the speaker should be allowed to have it's own characteristic sound set by the speaker designer. What if I like a speaker that's a little bright or enhanced midrange or strong bass? Does it ALWAYS have to measure the same flat line as pos... | |
| What is the most overlooked consideration? A mis-match of the preamp and the amp that can hinder the overall performance. | |
| Streaming music and movies from tv I have the Qobuz app for music from TV and it has a an option in 'settings' that allows for 16/44 resolution. Samsung streaming PCM through toslink to DAC. The sound quality is excellent. | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Tight authoritative bass. Listen to live music. It's seriously tight with no soft, bloaty bass. Even a bar Jazz trio has tight bass. The reason for going with sealed subwoofers for music. | |
| "Good" Music David Chesky... 'Graffitti jazz' deep bass/ambient | |
| "Good" Music Not typical 'beat music' Both deep bass and treble. Rather obscure/ambient Alva Noto - HYbr:ID p-dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aPFamtbPtE Yosi Horikawa - bubbles. Obsure and incredibly well recorded off the album 'Wandering'. Senking ... | |
| "Good" Music @bzawa That's a very broad question. What genre of music do you like the most? I prefer obscure music but my idea of obscure and your idea could be very different. |
