Hi Romy,I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone. It is the sound of what it is (or its gestalt). The ideal speaker...

Morricab,
Of curse you are very much correct but I always thought that what you said is understandable by default.
When I am talking about the ability of playbacks to care the “absolute tone” I indisputably meat sound reproduction of the “best” in...

Well, since this thread is about the BMS drivers then what can I say? When I tried the BMS driver I felt that their “absolute tone” ability was at the level of demands of school auditoriums. Read more about “absolute tone” at:

Don't confuse between live music and recorded music. I never speak of "correct tone" with regard to live music or real instruments. A Strad sounds like a strad and a POS violin sounds like a POS violin. Both tones are "corrrect" for...

I have written somewhere that 2 years ago I was fascinated with a notion of intellectual equation many ingredients of perceived Sound into one universal formulation that would objectively evaluate performance of a playback system. It was a very...

I retune in my mind to the subject of Absolute Tone

Hi Romy,I have found that the Apogee loudspeakers ribbon drivers can quite successfully reproduce correct tone. The reason why is this: They have very little coloration from the driver materials themselves (no nasty resonances as the reso...

"then I would suggest using a meaning of “tonal potential of playback”"Fine, just don't call anything from playback Absolute. The only absolute is live unamplified music, it must be so as it is the original event.Sorry Romy you lost me there in...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I would like to ask a question. Does the Jubilee add a specific color signature, or does it change appropriately with the music it plays? [/quote] To make it brief. I do not think that it is warranted to talk about “Jubile...

.. and I have no problem with “few” of the metal domes implementations. I wonder if David Wilson “preference” for metal domes derives from the fact the he needs an aggressive upper range to get equilibrium to the noise of Wilson ports coming from Wi...

Stringreen, what an interesting series of posts. I generally enjoy musicians' takes on hi-fi, especially as these relate to sound (versus music). In all performances there are so many things to listen for and to. What I have mo...

[quote user="morricab"] "Let me to state it again and it is very imperative: audio does not produce the original sound it just reproduces it"
This is so obvious that honestly it doesn't need to be restated and I in no way implied or said anyt...

"I see things differently. My view advocates that playback creates NEW Sound from scratch and the relation between the Sound of original event and the Sound of produced by playback have no inner-correlative point in audio and they mapped ONLY through...

[quote user="morricab"] Because I don't accept your basic premise of a new sound from scratch that's why. [/quote]Well, you are perfectly entitled to don't accept it, many would not accept it the concept, even more people would not understand it. Sti...

Yep, the Du Pre might be a subject of endless talks. As much as Mussorgsky I consider was the most natural raw talent among all composers as much Du Pre was probably the most natural rawest talents among the musicals of 20 century. There are a few mi...

[quote user="rowuk"]I would be interested in an explanation why the topology for HF and UHF must be the same. I do not agree with this premise especially in 4 or 5 way systems where primarily the last octave only is demanded. [/quote] Rowuk, nobody w...

I haven't played Du Pre in a while, so I too will be absorbing her genius tomorrow, followed by a donation to the National MS Society. Her performances of Haydn, Boccerini, Schumann, and (of course) Elgar's Cello Concerti inspired me to as...

Romy:It is difficult for me to understand the bubleness you described here. I always use as reference the real sound of real instrument. I have not heard the drivers you talked about in other threads where you presented the idea of a...

[quote user="coops"]Romy I read your post listing some aspects of the Vitavox drivers Mike might take a look at and I know you give acoustic reproduction a lot of thought, have you envisaged the 'perfect ' driver, has the Vitavox enough 'accidentally...

Hi Paul,the Casals recording more than any other one that I have heard has a sense of musical direction. Expressions lead to the next, you never have to fill any thing in. If I were to compare what he does, it would be to the best orators at the Roya...

Continuing my observation about the Timbres and Audio.From what I said above it is very important to understand that Timbres in Audio are not the photographic density of the colors themselves but rather an ability of a photograph to differentiate...

Romy,I really do not understand this diatribe against the idea of the absolute sound. You mention in fact your own idea of absolute tone. Surely the goal of audio reproduction is to faithfully convey the portion of the emotional and acous...

I think that I've never experienced a pair of speakers placed to achieve the DPoLS, but once I had mine quite close since the "sound" was something special, which trascended the features of individual sounds and helped to make music an experience qui...

John, I am bit puzzled with your response. I do not know what would be a proper material for cone/dome of diaphragm. The source where “tone” is born in compression drivers is absolute mystery to me and I in my holly naiveté believe that no one else k...

I heard today the Magico Model 6 loudspeakers about which the audio industry pimps of all calibers created so much stink lately. I did not have a chance to listen Magico extensively: a little guy who felt the he owed the room begun to jump in my ...

Yesterday I was looking through “The Absolute Sound” off the stand. There was one moment in there that made me to pay attention and to comment about the read. In the very beginning of the magazine, in the reader letters section, there was someb...
