| Strange Klipsch thing "Dan_ed; Reflected sound. So what you guys are saying is that depth is a coloration.I think I am to some extent. Maybe the better word is presentation rather than coloration. To be honest about it, any rear firing driver is there to create (not re... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... A large 3D image, with full extension from top to bottom. Maggies don't quite do it but they are damn close to what I want. I'm thinking of moving up the line. | |
| Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to "She's got the Mercedes bends." You have to read the lyrics or you'll miss lots of good writing. | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I have trouble with the concept of a single process that improves all known materials. Isn't it equally possible that it can harm some material properties. If it's not changing materials in a quantifiable way why are we doing it? | |
| Strange Klipsch thing Your experience is the same as mine but on the other hand my Maggies fire half of their energy to the back wall. Is that re-creating image depth or just creating one? I like both presentations but some music sounds better on one speaker than the o... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Making broad generalities in audio usually leads to eating large amounts of crow. There are good and bad versions of just about every loudspeaker design. (is that a generality?) | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? I'm thinking you are not able to drive them to full power. It's a common problem with ICE amps. Call W4S and see what they say. | |
| Too Many Tubes? Only if your music has too many notes! | |
| What does it take to qualify as a reviewer? A reviewer simply needs an opinion and an audience to express it to. A good reviewer needs some of the skills already listed. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... I understand fully what MrTennis is saying but in audio the only tool we have is our hearing. It's not a perfect situation and two people can disagree about what they are hearing. That's basically why long term evaluation is relevant to our hobby ... | |
| best wood for speaker cabinets ? oak,cherry, balti The best product to use is one that does not resonate where you don't want it to and does resonate where it will be the least problem. You'll have to build and measure the cabinet resonant frequencies to determine that. It's basic engineering but ... | |
| Velodyne SMS-1 Tuning, Can you use Different subs? True, if you want stereo subs you'll need 2 SMS units. The SMS is a mono system with more than one output. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... "hi russ69: my point is that one should not trust the senses."I use my ears, to listen to my HI-FI. I can listen to a pair of amps and tell you which one I like better. It may not be better by measured criteria but I can decide if it sounds better... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... MrTennis, I've never read anything in a spec sheet that gave me the slightest clue on how an amp sounds. I'm not sure we are even measuring the right parameters. No, Jedinite24, just can't understand why somebody would make that statement unless t... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... If all amps sound the same, then we should recommend that everybody buy a 500 watt a channel job as their first and only amp they will ever need. How come the guys that think all amps sound the same never own/owned a big/expensive amp? |
