In the Thread: What drives good sound?
Post Subject: What drives good sound?Posted by MusicLover on: 10/26/2005
Let me list for you what I think drives sound quality to me:
1. In room flat response at the listening positions
2. equal decay at al lfrequencies off axis
3. Adequate delay between direct & first order reflections.
4. Lack of distortion, or suitable 2-level distortion
5. Decay characterisitics of the driver material (how does a pulse in an anechoic chamber decay?)
ANd the biggest thing:
6. Recording quality
and that's it.
Now all of these can be measured.
ANyway, just my philosophy.
Yours may be different, and that's fine!
I like ALtec & klipsch horns. Both are very nice.
I also like suitable large alnico magnet, superlight paper cone drivers (they have good decay characteristics for me and hence sound more realistic).
I am relatively indifferent to the effects of amps & digital sources, to me they add or take away almost nothing.
