IMHO one of these drivers that make you listen to the music at first, but something isn't quite "right". Put it on a - big - open baffle and cut at 200 and use maybe up to 2500Hz. Problematic with female voices, like opera and so on. It distorts quit...

Golovanov Musical Portraitby Olga Fyodorova
…In 1948 the Bolshoi Opera was rehearsing Modest Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov with Nikolai Golovanov steering the orchestra through the difficult score of this operatic evergreen…

In my situation far away from the places
of Good Live Opera, we can only listen to the audio or watch the video ...
its a poor removed experience to be sure! To date I have a problem to
listen to most Opera as music, especially to Stravinsky high...

Spent almost a day to set up one of my CD racks. The rack covers one of the wall the need to be treated – I think this type CD rack it is a good diffuser. The wall is not in the line of the first reflection, in fact in no in the reflective path anyho...

I always had a strange thing with Wagner – I appreciate and deeply respect his music but I never liked it. It is not that do “not like it” but rather I just do not feel that Wagner’s things are the part of my sonic realization of world. As I wrote be...

Tuga, in terms of logistics, I think this is just perfect for the Music Arts and for the Music Arts "Consumer", both.Now, let's see/hear how/if they can/will pull it off in terms of Sound that makes the Music available.For me, if this model works out...

has no lyrics, so no one sings along when it's played. They've raised a contest to find some lyrics for it, so in the Olympics the sportists would sing, but it's a tough call. This is a polarized country and what some people finds dandy others believ...

Well, if you look opportunely to build, buy or educate yourself about Multicell Horns then you might get in touch with UK guy at pixelthree@hotmail.co.uk. He builds any type of custom Multicell horns by order. I spoke with him a multiple times and ev...

I noticed exactly the perceptual discontinuities you mention when visiting my brother, and I wound up with pretty much the same list of gripes. And I also noticed that opera is very close to being an exception.Perhaps you actually hope someone will ...

Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my daily practice. I very much ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Last week a local audio guy come to my place to listed some music and I played to him my Wand’s Bruckner 4 in video room. With all “phenominality” of the performance I need to confess that sound was horrible. The guy di...

My current bass is very “integrated” and very musical. It low, it is large, it is extended and it is in away grandeur and it has nothing close with faulty Hi-Fi impressiveness. It never take over sound and never indicat...

[quote user="Wojtek"]with your opinions. Your hateful criticue of 802 driver goes against your own recommendation of finding apropriate solution (horn and application ) for chosen driver . To me 811 is a bad, raspy sounding horn ,but quite perfec...

I have one of my newest Micro Seiki RX-5000 sitting in basement for years and doing nothing and I decided to let it go. I was keeping it for year as some kind of back up TT, in case my 8000 got broken or as TT that I would be able to use at...

Actually it was not only the best worst amplifier at CES but it was the best worst amplifier I even heard in my life.
So what happen between the WAVAC 833 and Sound? A lot of quite unique things…

I thought I would look at the Memory Player specs and was surprised to be greeted by what is in my books an obscene price list. But it may be quite cheap for others. These things are all relative of course.Best regardsRakeshThe Memory Player 64 T...

How came that I can’t write a file longer then 2G? As I remember form past, the FAT partition had limitation of 2G but my drives are NTFS formatted and it should not be an issues. Perhaps a WAV file has by nature 2G limits, doesn’t it? If this is the...

It is not about cataloging but about cutting the 2-4 hours concerts on parts or not. As far as cataloging I do not like tagging and I prefer juts simple sorting. I store all files in separate folders with the name of file corresponding to the name of...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than...

[quote user="Serge"]Romy consider that the engineers who did your Altecs in their worst nightmare could not imagine their lovely cinema speakers would be used with solid state amplifier which badly distorts on LOW power levels. It has 100 crappy watt...

Paul,
20th C classical music wasn't that popular when it was new except in vocal works. The few exceptions either had some rhythmic or melodically memorable aspect. What I mean is that people can accept something more novel and complicated wh...

[quote user="steverino"]People are not required to like or dislike anything. I guess the question you raise would require some additional info to answer. Some people have Austro German music as their reference and therefore don't really like styles w...

Paul S:DSET is a very high power solution to a question that I only have a very primitive understanding of. It is not right for me at this time.I would prefer if the model etc. of my speakers not be involved in this discussion. I know I am committing...

Sure, I am a total audio 'ho, and I'll take a musical fix when and where I find it. But I want to be sure no one thinks that I think this can really be done on the cheap. It would have been more honest (and more helpful) to say earlier that I am...

I have a very bad experience with the majority of the engineers of PA systems. According to my experience, their ideal sound is a kind of typical amplified and loud sound with some punchy upper bass and they have no experience with unamplified opera ...
