    Science vs...(what you believe you hear)

    Quite interesting reading.  One thing that was only slightly hinted at (only scanned through the thread so if I missed it I'm sure someone will point it out  ;) ) is that people do hear differently from each other.  And by that I mean physically hear differently in the same way not everyone sees...

    looking for male voice music

    Let me what I can do to help this out a bit - Looking at the female artists you have, these may be a good option (wont repeat others) Some stuff from David Gilmour on his own (try David Gilmour - I think is called In Concert) How about a bit of Dave Matthews Peter Gabriel should be a good try...

    1812

    The Telarc is okaaayyy....  If its the same recording we are talking about I think the cannons are really overdone, but it is initially quite impressive - The recording below with Vladimir Ashkenazy is very good - also with real cannons but at a more reasonable level.  There are a lot of...

    Why cant a drive unit covering the full frequency range(successfully)be designed

    Advice please.... Rel

    Am using a Storm III for both AV and music.  Its a bit larger than what you are looking at but it may give an indication.  I did buy this mainly for music but find its great for movies too.  Goes down lower than most subs and has good detail too.

    Jeremy Clarkson on 'e-music'

    "Of course, you're not going to listen to it in the same way that you listened to Steve Millers 'Fly Like an Eagle' in 1976. Back then, listening to an album was a job in itself whereas this e-music is acoustic wallpaper, something you have on while you do do something else."  J.Clarkson...
