Madonna CD used QSound in the recording. Here is a list of some other QSound Recordings. 
Accuphase Power Amps
Hi Simon,When Nvp says, "has efficient speakers", I can only assume he's speaking of speaker sensitivity. As sensitivity of a speaker goes up, less power is required for volume and dynamic peaks.The A-35 is rated at 30w/ch, and the P-4200 is rated... 
Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State?
Interesting thread, and think this comment by Atmasphere is very significant,Because some odd orders and in general higher ordered harmonics are present, which the ear uses as loudness cues, the amp will just tend to sound louder at this point, bu... 
Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
Elegal, that's great! If you have heard the Olympica/MC275 combo and it works well, then I agree with Chayro, find a way to just make it happen. It doesn't sound like you will ever stop thinking about or wanting them. Good Luck!! 
Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
A local dealer recommended Vienna Acoustics Beethoven GrandAssuming this is the Concert Grand, it appears the dealer was not considering your MC275. If you look at measurements in the Stereophile Review, it indicates the speaker is not suited for ... 
Does treble response beyond my hearing matter?
While everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinions, FWIW, here's mine.Although the original question does provoke different thoughts, I don't think it is relevant to the actual sound a speaker will produce. It is possible for a speaker wit... 
Help choosing floor-standing speakers.
C'mon guys, it's great that you are trying to help, but it was approaching a year for the first response to the thread. I may be wrong, but I'm thinking he has already bought speakers, and not even looking for answers at this time. Should he respo... 
What is going on
Polk432, when an email offer is received, all you need is an option to click on, "Lowballer" and the sender receives this reply. 
What is going on
At first glance, thought this was a thread about Marvin Gaye, but that would be "What's Going On".If it's worth too much to you; you get to keep it.Agree, great line!!...+1 for Rodman99999...?...does that make him Rodman100000?As far as the origin... 
Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare?
While reading your post, my immediate thought was, is the amp new? Then I got to the system, and like Newbee, I'm thinking Nordost cables. A few years ago, for lack of a better word, I was married to Nordost speaker cables. I used Blue Heaven and ... 
Need to upgrade but what to get need advice
Happy to help and hopefully it won't be confusing. Option 1 in my previous post is just as stated. You add the stereo preamp to your current system. All speakers stay connected just as they are now. Currently the front preouts on the Yamaha are co... 
Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ?
I wish you the best in your sonic endeavors.Charles1dad, thanks, and the same to you. Sorry for getting on the soapbox, but when I read this statement in Almarg's post,For instance, I have many classical recordings on labels such as Telarc, Sheffi... 
Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ?
Don_c55 and Charles1dad, I do agree that an excessive high level of AVERAGE SPL is for idiots, however there can be a very wide margin between average SPL and peak SPL with some music, especially classical. The SPL numbers to be used in the calcul... 
Good speaker to pair with MA5100?
The speakers are backup up against wainscoting so the kids don't pull the wires out.Bass will be reinforced with any speaker against the wall affecting the balance of the overall response. Also, if the Heresy is sitting directly on the floor witho... 
Good speaker to pair with MA5100?
I must ask if you have tried the speakers with a different amp? If the tweeters are bad, or not working, it can sound like a blanket is covering the speaker. Also, can you verify that the MA5100 is operating properly, especially Bass, Treble contr...
