unless you got a completely full range speaker, your not really hearing the music as it was intended ... discuss ....
Quite so. IMO the search for perfection is futile in the extreme, just get on with enjoying what you hot. If something is bugging you (loose bottom end for example) then try and sort it, otherwise as Lawrie would say: Enjoy the music.Hi-fi loudspeakers, with the exception of possibly a few, are subjective; designed to be musically appealing to the listener at the expense of neutrality. Studio monitors are objective; designed to be neutral and nothing else. Build quality at any given price point is comparable - a number of familiar hi-fi names have parallel product ranges in the pro-audio sector. In terms of absolute quality, irrespective of price, studio monitors (considered objectively) are far superior.
i,m guessing that the vast majority of artistes would like it to be reproduced to the most accurate level they recorded it , thus . whatever is audible on a full range speaker, i bet that when a full orchestral work was written it was not with the intentions of the low frequencies AWOL on a smal bookshelf .....same applies to most genres of music ( also read hi frequencies)Unless you know how 'theartist(s)' intended 'the music' to be listened to,then you have no grounds on which to base a sensible discusion.The end.
Not long ago I heard someone mention the loudspeakers used by Diana Krall- Anyone know which ones they are?notaclue wrote:i,m guessing that the vast majority of artistes would like it to be reproduced to the most accurate level they recorded it , thus . whatever is audible on a full range speaker, i bet that when a full orchestral work was written it was not with the intentions of the low frequencies AWOL on a smal bookshelf .....same applies to most genres of music ( also read hi frequencies)Unless you know how 'theartist(s)' intended 'the music' to be listened to,then you have no grounds on which to base a sensible discusion.The end.
Totem Arros, by the look of it. Suddenly, I'm quite interested in Totem Arros - not that I'm impressionable or anything...Not long ago I heard someone mention the loudspeakers used by Diana Krall- Anyone know which ones they are?
I think you're right to distinguish between genres of music, since much 'chart' material will be mixed with reproduction on lo-fi systems in mind (quite sensibly) and so an accurate reproduction of this would not really be a good idea. This is something we all suffer from I expect, in that trying to get a system that can reproduce classical/acoustic material accurately without then giving massively over the top bass on pop material is tough. Or at least I assume this is down to different mixing, rather than any inherant difference in the actual recording process (say a difference from using close mikes to a couple some distance from an orchestra)?i,m guessing that the vast majority of artistes would like it to be reproduced to the most accurate level they recorded it , thus . whatever is audible on a full range speaker, i bet that when a full orchestral work was written it was not with the intentions of the low frequencies AWOL on a smal bookshelf .....same applies to most genres of music ( also read hi frequencies)
