Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

I'm not sure if this is a sarcastic question or not Spannko as what I am talking about is one of the main purposes of the waterfall measurement .It's how a speaker handles short sharp tones.My bad, I presumed the fact you gave waterfalls as an example that you had came across them .Please expand yo...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

I decided to ask the bot for an explanation.Not sure how accurate it is ChatGPT "The main point of a waterfall measurement is to provide a visual representation of the decay of sound over time at different frequencies. This information is important in understanding how a loudspeaker or a room respon...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

Good question Lego! Strictly speaking, all of the T&S parameters have the potential to affect a drive units musicality. This is something which is determined at the drive unit design stage, more for enclosure matching options than musicality. What I meant to say was it’s not possible to predict how...

Re: What Makes a Loudspeaker Musical?

It’s worth pointing out that absolutely not one of the T&S parameters have even the slightest influence on a speakers ability to play a tune. And while I’m at it, frequency response, THD, waterfalls and any other measurement you care to mention, have absolutely no relationship with a speakers tune ...

Did you recently disable the data saver setting?
Hi John,
Hmm,I don't think so,but that wouldn't change the sound indoors though would it ?

So I take it no difference your end ?
It says “Data Saver sets your music quality to low”.
Thanks John

Re: Recommended control points

Excellent jajo! I’ve been curious about the Spotify app on Apple TV, but still haven’t tested it. Apple TV to Källa is dangerous (time wise). For me it has transformed rather cheesy TV series into fascinating storytelling. Background music really grips us and the dialogue is much more intense. Test...

In the first set ,there was better intelligibility with the 308s but the guitar playing felt less integrated with the singer compared to the K.

Re: Linn Kan 1 Setup

Thanks Tom although I don't fancy that at all. I've compared a couple of other late Kan 1s and they did sound distinctly more neutral - I should have made a note of the serial numbers. Have you (or anyone else) ever tried putting screws into the floor and then sitting the spikes in the screw heads?...

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Hoisted by my own petard 😁

A is the non remastered track which is way better musically than the remastered(mono).
Although during the A version the horns come in at a very high level close to being uncomfortable which is slightly strange.

Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

I did not say that "Moanin' on Spoty sounds terrible" - you appear to be inferring & implying that. There are multiple listings of Moanin' on Spotify, and a couple sound better than the others - it just takes a bit of diggin' to find them... Interestingly, the 2 that seem more musical are not marke...
