kelA Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Probably super-compressed recordings? Gosh - when the heck are CDs going to ALL sound good? I think it is the recording labels saying why worry about making such a 'reference' recording, when the majority of the people are now using MP3 or some other form of downloads? I think it was AVS that had a article on declining record sales for the 7th year in a row. Sorry for the hijack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I agree Duke. I'm using 6,400 watts in my system. I can still hear it after I shut it off. Too funny. Garbage in garbage out, and the more resolving power the system has the worse it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not a good sign, Roc. That ringing in your ears is your hearing pulling out of the station... What was that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roc Rinaldi Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Probably super-compressed recordings? Gosh - when the heck are CDs going to ALL sound good? Never. Variability of sound quality, (both in fidelity and volume) in source material is a nemesis that just won't die. I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatrixDweller Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Yeah Rob Zombie's stuff is pretty polished. Astrocreep has an awesome enveloping sound. There's so much going on but everything is detailed. Fear Factory is pretty good too. Fear Factory - Obsolete is heavy but very refined. I'd say out of any album Obsolete stresses my system the most (in a good way). It's meant to be played loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudeJ1 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I agree Duke. I'm using 6,400 watts in my system. I can still hear it after I shut it off. Too funny. Garbage in garbage out, and the more resolving power the system has the worse it is. I agree with both of you on the resolution issue, but the power thing is ridiculous. 10 db watts (10x in the denominator) or 10x less power than most spakers for an all-horn setup is all you need. I'm running about 60w/channel in my Onkyo AV receiver. PWK himself insisted that I only needed 17 db of headroom for symphonic recordings, which are the most dynamic. So that means that 20W is the most I'll ever use on the peaks, since I nominally use about 1/4 watt per channel for normal listening. All of the AV receivers from that model year have the same Signal processing electronics, and I have the bottom of the line, power wise. But I'm sure I'm never anywhere near clipping as I try to keep my nominal listening level to about 85-95 db at a 12 foot distance across the front array. the 5.1 rears are Chorus I with a set of Chorus II's gathering dust until I go from 6.1 receiver (used in 5.1 config) to full 7.1. I'm saving for an HD projector, so my 36" tv will suffce. The beauty of this thing is that is allow me to listen to 2-channel with full sound to the corner horns AND my tweaked set of huge VMPS passive subs. I never knew that Khorns needed bass extension and that going flat to 25 hz mattered...............it does. I never like any of the "air pump" subwoofers with built in amps and servo circuits, yuk! Totally unmusical, but the large cone area from the twin VMPS really blend perfectly with the Khorns below about 50 hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roc Rinaldi Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Claude, go spend some money on more power for your system. System overhead is a lot like having fun.......................you can never get too much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
