sometime give the B+K a listen. I have demoed the now ones, and have used an older model for years. They are not an assault on perfection, but they are quite good, and reasonably priced. As you know, i plan to eliminate the stereo performance problem by getting a good preamp (someday, i hope). Then all i have to do is to run an input from the B+K, and i should be in my version of hog heaven.
I've only heard B&K amps. Is that what you're refering to? In what ever speaker I hooked up the bass rumble & crisp highs were truncated. The frequency response was uniformly artefactless from 40hz-15kHz, but outside that envelope was anemic. Although, they'd be beautiful for KEF RDM2s. The HF roll off would tame the silk dome break-up nicely, leaving a satellite capable of tremendous dynamic-staging & pin-point imaging-detail.
hi,
no, meant the processors. Wringing every last bit of resolution out of movies is great, but even with my funky old pre/pro it continually surprises me how movies come to life. The theaters around here
are acoustically challenged, to put it politely. In stereo, i understand what you want, it makes perfect sense there. In movies, the old saw about diminishing returns kicks in faster, because they have less resolution to begin with ( by and large ). The conclusion, from where i sit, is to
put together a solid HT, but save the insanity for the stereo part of it.
Which is why i put myself to sleep counting high end preamps jumping over
a fence ;)
I read your post a couple times & it still makes no sense to me. I think it was grmmaticly challenged.What I want is soild imaging which HT is reknown for by using single real speaker for vocals & stereo-like image-steering from stage left to right & back. In a sense I want a dead stable crisp image that's entirely mobile.
I also want tube-like natural neutrality that generates enormous depth that my Krell will propell forward into a room, because I can't handle a too laid back image but adore depth.
hi,
i don't think that level of quality exists yet. My intuition tells me that current formats like Dolby Digital can't do it. Movie standards will likely continue to call for a flat freq response. The pleasant distortions that create stereo image, and depth, are not part of that world. Some smart guy may find a work around, but i haven't heard anything that even comes close to what you want.
you initially scared me with your title since I was never enthusiastic about Paradigm speakers, except the active line.
