colterphoto1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 gotcha, just read it. I'll never make that list, you'd have to be a customer, golden ears and PC per Dean to make that list. [6] It'll be an interesting read though..... Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey, it was a "fight thread", so I had to say something obnoxious. I'm hearing rumors that systems sitting in padded rooms and/or with electronic crossovers sound terrible. So Arrto and Shawn are out.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 "...you'd have to be a customer, golden ears and PC per Dean to make that list." Man, that was harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yea but Dean usually when someone says something as a joke there is at least a little truth in there somewhere. So what do you figure the true % is? Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think Dean is right on the mark with the too cheap part []. As for the hearing who knows. % that have it figured out...probably none...too many variables. For myself I can say that the biggest impact I have made in improving sound in my room was through broadband absorption and diffusion products.

colterphoto1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 [:$]just joking around wit ya Deano, I know I'm usually the depressed one and don't trade jabs like you big boys do. Just feeling playful this am. Sorry, just get those unbunchable panties out and prove me wrong. I'd like to make that list. Or anyone's. Have at it, we want to know, just hammer it out dude.[] Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'd say the best thing about my system is its balance and that it resides in a room with real plaster ceiling, 3/4 pine paneling, and double pad under carpet. Beautiful acoustics and NO foam in sight. awaiting your vote.... Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful acoustics and NO foam in sight. awaiting your vote.... Michael I guess that totally depends on the look you are after. I would not want any foam showing in my living room. But with a dedicated room I like it. To date everyone that has seen it thinks it is a plus to the room not a minus (at the very least they are being nice).

sfogg Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 "To date everyone that has seen it thinks it is a plus to the room not a minus (at the very least they are being nice). " Same with me. Upstairs I'd absolutely hate it, but in a dedicated room it just reinforces the look of the dedicated room. It also dramatically improved the sound of the room too. And as far as looks go once you dim down the lights all eyes are on the 8 foot screen anyway. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Dont' get me wrong guys, I just bought a bunch of the foam for my basement HT. I was just stating the advantages of my current listening room. The wood paneling is so beautiful sounding that it needs no further control imho. I'm not against the foam or diffusion panels at all, esp for dedicated HT rooms. I just couldn't have it in my hearth room, the main room of the home.

D-MAN Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'd like to make that list. Or anyone's. Michael If it makes you feel any better, you are already on my s***list. I'm kidding - but sheesh, Michael - what a setup! I couldn't pass it up! DM[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 OK, to answer the original question that this thread asks, I guess I'll go on record as the first here to say that I think I'm in Dean's 10%. I'm sure that my hearing is very good. I've had a hearing test recently, and I'm definitely not cheap when it comes to this hobby. Now, I may be worthless otherwise, but I'm not deaf nor cheap.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Unless you're listening to good music it doesn't actually matter what speakers, amps, or sources you use. Approximately 98% of the people here listen to crap music most of the time. Why be concerned with your system if you're just going to listen to heavy metal, jazz, rap, and that kind of stuff?

Jeff Matthews Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Think Parrot's a rocker? Probably not. But Parrot, man! If you haven't heard "Whip Me, Beat Me, Call Me Edna" at 100+ db, you don't have a full appreciation of what these speakers will do.

rplace Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 98% of the people here listen to crap music most of the time. So, in your opinion what is something good to listen to? Give me a hand full of "Parrot Approved" tracks. I'd be interested to know the LP/Cassette/CD/8-track or what ever version of the recorded image you consider to not be crap. I really want to hear what I have been missing. I am serious, not looking to start a multi page thread of audio-babble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
