It is not my Audio “Bucket List” and not the audio things that I would like to experience before the 2012. These are just the regions of audio curiosity that I would be excited to sample and motivated to make efforts to pursue. The entries without an...

This thread is a derivation of the thread: Wilsons, EMM, Ozawa, Saint-Saens and...[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]While in general I agree with Romy about Wilsons, I have once or twice heard them sound really, really good. On the other hand I have also he...

Romy, I have been trying to explain to myself what happened and how I got to it and trying to recreate this wonderful boiling point.
I tried to make a write up of all the steps needed in order to make it happen, but it is ever so elusive. I ...

I had a very interesting experience last Sunday. I visited
my local audio guy and had a phenomenal listening session. He is horn guy and
had a good sound in his dedicated room. He is for year playing with surround sound
that I never cared about an...

That was a subject of long consideration for me and I ruled
not to go for time alignment. You see, my current listening
position is 8.5 feet from the diaphragms and my ceiling height is 14 foot. Let pretend
that I am siting at 4 feet at my listeni...

I was listening a few days ago the first crescendo of the
Bruckner 9 by Vienna and Giuliani. I was listening probably 20 times in row and
was always feeling that I was missing something. The Bruckner crescendo are different
then most of the cresce...

Quality of electricity in recording studio is irrelevant, we hear what it is, as it is. And electricity quality in our listening room makes a huge huge difference in what and how we hear....

I looked what is around and I did not like whatever I see. The industry music server machines are all crap and mostly made to copy CDs and to play them from semi-intelligent applications. My requirements are very specific and not of the existing mac...

My tastes in audio slowly but irreversibly migrate out of the “common audiophile sense”. Years ago I met some people form NY and Chicago, the former classical radio-station employees, the people with encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of m...

[quote user="Paul Costa"]Romy do you know anything about their preamp. This unit looks massive. Very little info available on it. The one description I found sounds like some of the typical American over done foolishness.[/quote] Back in 90s there wa...

Yes, there is no substitute for space. A related consideration it that some useful rooms (like bedrooms, library, etc.) need to be away from the influence of the Music Room, so those who wish it can do something else while Music is being played. Ag...

Surely with 92/93dB sensitivity you are out of SET loop and I have no idea what you were listening over your last 12 years. To drive 92/93dB you need at least 50-70W SET, unless you built your listening room in a large “Sub-zero” refrigerator. Paul, ...

[quote user="CO"]Why such a wide angle? To keep the highs evenly spread and match to the angles of other chanels ofcourse but this will call for much more attention to room setup/treatment.Wouldnt this also lose some of the horn magic by letting the ...

[quote user="unicon"] el 0l if you could understand the basics about how audio waves especially bass range acts in closed space you wouldnt even bring the name Bass EQ
it just cures the sound pressure in a single spot(listener) and possibly ca...

[quote user="JLH"] One of the things that is not talked about with tapped horns is they are more directional than a normal subwoofer. They do not excite the entire room with omnidirectional sound. [/quote]
John,
this is serious drawback I...

Hi Romy, 'tis been awhile, but my friend Neil alerted me to this discussion, and thought I might contribute to it. While this segment of my TAD 'Whitepaper' deals with only the bugscreen, there are many other …" evolved results…" that, to my ear, and...

seavan, I would not recommend to get Milq to use with 88dB sensitive speakers. In fact it might be dangers for the speakers tweeters. You will not have any interesting sound even is you in a very small room and will be listening at very low volume. I...

I don't know where this goes, so I'm just starting it as a new thread; please move (or even edit or delete) as appropriate. After reading too many wondourus reviews of ceramic driver speakers in general, and only having heard two pair, one...

It looks like my computer playback box is kind of dying, not to mention that it is hugely outdated now. It is 10 year old box that still run on Win XP pro and 4G memory. It begins to throw fists here and there; it is time to replace it, I think that...

[quote user="zanon"]I know that because of your new mid bass horn, the speaker position is mostly fixed. So you move chair.
I am wondering -- to those of us who can move both chair and speaker, how do you go about getting system to play the ro...

It might only appear that it is irrelevant subject. In reality this is the subject of my LONG DREAM… and I have almost realized it.
I spend entire days to redo the Air Conditioner system to accommodate it for my listening room. The house has a...

The forum rules were probably a booby trap or I even made up the part that said that it was necessary to give subjective sound impressions, which is bullshit in the first place anyways. My measurements of the SG-16 and Onken OS-5000T are useless any...

Good point on what mixing, and processing, can do to both mono and stereo recordings.Look at the examples of room simulation here:http://www.quantec.com/index.php?id=sound_clips&L=0OK, they are bad electronic recordings to start with, and then pr...

Taming strange fullrange drivers is fun, doesn't cost an arm and a leg and there is always room for a second, third, etc. system. E.g. what to do with such a ridiculous unit? http://www.ciare.com/pdf/catalogo/HX135.PDFBack-loading? No problem when th...

Hi Keith,That is an interesting way of setup the S150 horn. Most of GOTO setup that I have seen set the S150 high and point down to listening position. All of them crossover the S150 + SG505TT at 200Hz to 1kHz range. I wish that I h...

Regarding the pictures above Whatever it is but the walls in that room are very for listening room. The wall like this of cause would not defeat any “unlucky” or “less successful” loudspeaker positioning in the room. Still with the wal like this is m...

Well, I figures that while I am not sure what to do with LF section and where to locate it I will live with my woofer tower from my old listening room. They did not work well as Lower-Upper-bass channel installed next to Macondo but in odd place, han...
