"they are there and you at some distance" vs "they are in your room" dynamic range requirements

Posted by freddyi (A) on September 17, 2016 at 11:52:59

I have an organ-synth CD by the late Rudy Rosa - one cut was either very well miced or mixed directly. There's no way a little fullrange speaker would play it well. I have a tragic looking Karlson 12 copy with 12 sq.in. port, Pyle PYM1298 12" woofer topped with compression driver and "K-tube" - although that little cabinet rolls off in half-space below ~70Hz, it really grabs dynamically - my Klipschorn does almost as well and of course, goes an octave lower (which affects perception too)

a flamenco guitar performance or even a drum battle - recorded to give an impression of being on stage, with room ambiance and at some subjectively "long" distance to the listener will be less demanding on a system than something closed miced and intended to sound like its right in the living room with full dynamics.

I have a Dan Weiss "Tintal" CD - Indian tabla pieces played on a regular drumkit and for the drone, a Stratocaster instead of a harmonium. I can't imagine that playing well on a little speaker, including typical small 3-way, and those "FAST" assisted fullrange. Too many dynamics drum strikes are happening too fast.

- does any of this make any sense ? - LOL
