[quote user="Manuel"] …. however there´s also more jazz than Terrasson or Cassandra Wilson, for example it´s not easy to make the reproduction of an intense passage of a plain jazz piano trio sound like it should be. [/quote]
The problem is that “ja...

Manuel, I think you missed the whole point of my post.
I did not say that musicians being better than others just based on the music they play, although I might see rational for some people, including me, to advocate this point. However, in context...

Your response indicates some presumption to me, as much as mine indicated to you. In my experience it is practically NEVER only ONE issue involved -- B U T, one would in my experience try to isolate where the most immediate benefit might be f...

Romy,no, I am not one of those who bash Wilson. I respect his work, his business and his products. I listened to some of his models a few times, but this here is about reviewers...I am a little bit frustrated. I am a customer who want to go ahead, wh...

Rony, yes, if I have somebody who would do for me all "implementation" work then I wound never do audio in the format I have been doing it for the last 6 years. I would rather just pay money to the people then juts USE audio instead of “digging”...

I do not feel that there is any mystery in Wilson’s bass – they sound as they shall – like crappy ported speakers and it is very unfortunate in my view. David Wilson ether do not know what and how he is listening or know very much what he does but ca...

The last nigh we went to book store – the wify wanted to buy UK traveling guide and I glanced the September Stereophile magazine. It had two interesting artless – Art Dudley look like publicly was loosing his virginity about horns and Mike Framer had...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]I feel you may be doing John Attwood a disservice here. There are two reviews of this book. The first one which you quote extensively from appears to have been written by Lynn Olson. The second, much shorter review is ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]Hmmm....I guess I can't really see that unless you are enjoying a particular coloration you are getting from the TVC.[/quote] Nope. On this you are wrong. Based on direct bypass tests the TVC's I USE (that is the specif...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"]In this thread, you previously said--
12) If a filter requires a phase inversion then it is preferable to flood crossover point with amplitude and do not invert phase.
What exactly do you mean by this and how's it work?[/...

[quote user="Antonio J."]I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it),...

Romy,It is indeed an interesting subject; I am instinctively drawn to it due to the fact that the majority of orchestral instruments - the majority of my listening is orchestral/chamber/classical soloists - produce their own sound through the resonan...

Among all my mocking and humiliating the people who do audio professionally (well very few of them do it professionally, mostly they do it “for leaving”) I have to admit that there is one subject that made me to envy to some of the guys who do audio ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The bass traps, the biggest one, have only limited effectiveness on the spectra of interest and usually have much more effectiveness in 2-3 octave above the spectra of interest. This make bass to sound less problematic b...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

Regarding vertical convergence :
I have often wondered about the effects of arranging horns vertically, such that their output converges relative to each other, toward a single point at a given height above the floor. I have seen Wilson Audio do...

[quote user="Gregm"]Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively...

In the end a few words. I do tend to listen music significantly

[quote user="Stitch"] Sound was really lifelike, true in tone, for 1000 visitors in a cinema with a 2W amplifier....of course it can't be compared in rooms for one owner with pinpoint imaging, but it was a good performance. A lot of listeners scratch...

All those vintage speakers are not interesting. Among the contemporary loudspeakers, I also to do not know anything that I would consider unarguably worthy.
The main point off of this exercise is to let people to think about the opportunity or possi...

I am looking back and my last 2 month frustrations with presentation width, with vertical midbass horns integrations, with relatively aggressive sound bite, with somehow overly labored lateral imaging propagation prom Macondo and am realizing th...

There is a very minor percentage of what David is telling that
I am not exactly agree. Mostly it has to do with some simplifications and shortcuts
David took, avoiding the phenomena of judgment maturation and the degree of precision

[quote user="cv"] It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up [/quote]
Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-pass...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] I'm not entirely satisfied that this single 40Hz horn was properly loading the room, which has a cubic volume not far from what I would consider ideal for such a system …. However, the horn was sitting in the center o...
