In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?
Post Subject: The infrabass injection.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/1/2018
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 crescendos in classical music. Bruckner always lives some space
in “there”, it was goes laud, large and with his typical “gravitas” but it has
some very interesting “loudness space”.
I do not care how many ‘f’ in the Bruckner score. The celebrated
5f in famous music or even the Ligeti‘s 8f cannot be projected to Bruckner
in my view. The morons like Mahler is trying to get gravitas by dynamic range
but Bruckner does not do it by pure loudness and by many other things. In my
former listening room I was able to get some Bruckner crescendos in the way how
I like it but in my current listening room something in missing in my view. The
sound-wise it is fine but it has in my view it has slightly shallow philosophical
meaning.
I have been thinking about that “philosophical meaning” in
the Bruckner’s reproduced crescendo for some time. Sound-wise and texture-wise
the crescendo fine. I think that the crescendo in my current listening room are
lacking info-sound. The info-sound in reproduced music does not give only “weight”
to bass but also alter “meaning’ of that weight.
I am thinking how to inject the sub 20 Hz bass in my room. I
do have space to do and means to do it but I am slowly contemplating for more
elegant way to do it…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
