Deepdrone Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Here is a pic of my "boom boxes". They are not so young and made in Russia, each of it is 50W, with peak power of 150W, and the amplifier is home-made - by my father. http://www.geocities.com/nikolai_nikolov2/Kolona_L.jpg The bass speakers are of very good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natkejs Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 here at my computer I got a logitech 5:1 system ... it's very sweet for $100 in my room I got a HK amplifier and 4 small mission speakers ... nothing spectacular but it's enough for me. bad thing is my room is in the basement with concrete walls/roof so the bass is out of this world, need to turn it down as much as possible or I hardly can hear the music for it. the whole room works as a subwoofer so that kinda sucks.

That's the cheapest way to cover walls and it works pretty good. For the corners get some (bed)foam. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insejn Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I got my comupter hooked up with the stereo (NAD amplifier and Dali speakers). I couldn't ever enjoy this music with some crappy computer speakers. Once in a while I put in a CD just to get those extra frequencies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukiro Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 B & W makes some pretty shitty low-end speakers too (well maybe not for the price, but shitty for my standards), but I had the pleasure of listening to their 801 model once and after that, nothing is good enough =( Although I have yet to listen to the top-end Focal-JMLab speakers - in general I am more attracted to the JMLab sound that that of B&W, although they're both very neutral and precise brands. I have a pair of JMLab Cobalt 806 speakers on Atakama stands, driven by a NAD C370 amp (yeah, total overkill =) and currently an old Onkyo CD player that I hope to replace with a Pioneer DV-668 (for SACD and DVD-Audio support) soon-ish. I sometimes wish I had saved up for the Elektra 906 speakers instead, but I bought the amp and some DJ gear at the same time, so it was pricey enough anyway (spending 3500 euro in one go). Oh, and I use Linn signal cables (can't recall the model, but they were pricey =) and Supra Ply 3.4/S speaker cables. My DJ gear is one Technics 1210 and one shitty Reloop player, both with Ortofon Concorde Silver Pro cartridges. I use a Vestax PMC-270 mixer (later updated to PMC-275) and currently no DJ CD players. I can strongly recommend the JMLab speakers, from the Cobalt range and up. Lower models are less satisfactory in my opinion. And get good stands, it makes waaay more differance than you'd think. The NAD amp is nice but sometimes I wish it was even more neutral. Arcam has some nice stuff in this price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N,N-dimethyl tryptamine Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 the focal series is fucking amazing....i love it, though for a fraction of the cost the polk lsi series really holds its own. i A/Bed the jm lab focals bookshelves and the polk lsi9's and id have to say i loved them both...the jm lab was a bit nicer but the polks are less cash, soooo, ya know lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryad Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I dunno about you guys, but I like doing "the car test". There's something about the acoustics of driving in your car... Whenever I finish a track, and it sounds good on the monitors, I always do "the car test" right away to see if it sounds cool in that kind of tight space where all panning effects are right in your face. It's just a little thing I do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydo Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 i listen to music on different Hi-Fi's and on my computer as well. I've been thinking about getting a trancey bedroom like yours, but i didnt know where to start from. What kind of lights might i use to get a nice ambient?, if its possible, a not too expensive solution. Neon lights or? no idea. suggestions welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
