| What do you care about in this hobby? I can only respond from my perspective and I do not believe we can reach an axiom, for this is a subjective hobby. I am first a lover of music, especially live, acoustic musical performances as well as recorded performances. Therefore, compositi... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding @ghdprentice Acknowledged, and as always, well articulated. As I mentioned before, our goals for SQ appear very similar, as is our passion for live ancous music, even though we went in opposite directions with equipment choices. I have been to... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding Normally I avoid generalizations; however, you have accurately listed the major differences between tube and solid state sound quality. The degree of difference over the years and with the introduction of modern tube design have narrowed, and man... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room +1 @ghdprentice and @ticat | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? First and foremost, the ability of the system to express the emotion of the composition and performance. I have auditioned 7 figure systems that have accurate sound quality, but fail to express emotion and do not touch my soul, and other much les... | |
| Seeking a new loudspeaker, horn, single driver, concentric or open baffle Sort of similar to your post about 1 month ago and I assume you are still seeking a speaker you find musical. The speaker driver technology does not determine whether a speaker needs to be played loud to achieve musicality, or is able to be music... | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? @sabih PS. Stop referring us to YouTube videos. as proof your speakers are not outdated. You cannot discern anything about sound quality from a YouTube stream. | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? @sabih Wow. @kennyc analysis of the post is correct and all that matters is your system is compellingly musical to you. @br3098 analysis of your speakers is on point.

| Is AI going to kill Hifi? AI is impacting all job categories, not just white collar jobs. This is a grave socioeconomic concern. The human controlling the AI is a potential evil. There are many documented cases of fraud using deep fakes. AI decision without human ... | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? I do not understand your defensive response. Seems like you're looking for affirmation again. I said that I was glad the Altecs are musically compelling to you. That is all that matters. I was avoiding a direct response. But I will now provi... | |
| Crossover or crossoverless Bache, this question is no different than you post on single or multiple driver speakers. See my response in full. Conclusion, it depends upon the execution of the design intent and our personal sound quality preferences. There is no right or wr... | |
| Single way or multiway The design concept (single driver, multiple driver/planar, horn, dynamic, etc.) is not important. It is the execution of the design concept in the design control, design transfer, and manufacturing process that is critical to sound quality. Each... | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? Excellent. You responded indirectly and positively to my question of point. Your Altecs are musically compelling to you. That is what is critical and the opinions of others does not matter. Regarding cabinet design, it has advanced substan... | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? Respectfully, you should not need the affirmation of others and you cannot expect others to be able to analyze SQ from a you tube video. The recommendation is to ask yourself if the speakers sound compelling musical to you. Many prefer the sound... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? Neither. Streaming is better and more convenient. OK, you have a gun to my head. CD due to the clarity and lack of background noise, as well as convenience. But there is always a caveat that makes such a a generalization inaccurate. Exclud... |
