russ69 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Sky Hits, The little Velodyne SPL800R (room corection) or Mini Vee 8 inch (no correction) really blends in nice. I also have a HGS 12 Series II with SMS controller (room correction) but I like the sound of the little 8 inch better. The small size is really handy also. The 12 inch goes a tad lower but overall the sound is heavy and dark rather than than musical. They all have 1200 watt amps so they can keep up with just about any loudspeaker. They really add the missing thump to the bottom end. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Hits Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Buckster: Indeed that's King Tubby: maker and user of fine audio wizardry. (For extra skankery, look for Joe Gibbs' productions, particularly his African Dub series.) Russ: Thanks for the tips. Small and musical will do nicely in my fairly cozy listening room. - Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Records Thanks Blvdre, while we're on the topic, I'd love to highlight two incredible reggae reissue labels out of the UK: Blood and Fire http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk/ and Pressure Sounds http://www.pressure.co.uk/ Both with excellent taste, excellent sound quality, excellent liner notes and packaging. They show tremendous respect for the original artists. And vinyl is always available. - Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Hits Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes G. Kennedy! I have the Cornel Campbell sung "King in my empire" in heavy rotation. Glad you chimed in! Also worthy of mention: the Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions compilations from Chicago's Guidance Recordings label. I have a slab from volume three which includes the burner "Annanas" by Tosca (a project from one of the Kruder and Dorfmeister guys.)

Sky Hits Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Nice one! I'm going to have to find that. There's exceptions to every rule, but I usually trust the first releases of just about anything to be very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser SET say Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 oldbuckster, if you're talking about his avatar, that would be King Tubby, producer/ mixer extraordinaire. Indeed Blvdre, Lee "Scratch" Perry is another of my favorite producers. If you really want thump a dump pick yourself a copy up of Sly & Robbie's "Silent Assasins"[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
