In Reply to: whats the best sounding (enginered) record you own? nt. posted by kalamata on July 6, 2005 at 15:48:30:
I was listening to a record I would have never expected to be a great recording, "They Only Come Out at Night" Edgar Winter Group.And most of it is O.K., not anything to call reference quality in any way...until...and that it is the inner most cut on the side...Frankenstein! I watched (NOT listened, WATCHED!!!) Chuck Ruff's sticks travel across his kit! I SAW the kit, all (what could it be, 3' deep, 4' wide?) of it! I saw the sticks contact the skins, IT WAS AWESOME!

My Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor Wanna Be DIY speaker has just awesome percussion. There are many really great speakers that do justice for drum sets, but you really need a long excursion speaker.
They image like few other speakers do, get strings about as good as anything I've ever heard, and, because the subs are part of the speaker yet "out of the loop", there's upperbass info that gets handled better than with speakers that don't do lows overly well...apparently, it always helps to have separate amps on the subs (while the sub is "part" of the speaker, it has its own 100 watt class D amp, only the towers are driven by my Monarchy SE 100's.Surely not the be all and end all in bass response, but awfully damned good!
Sleaze the day!

... given that "Frankenstein" ostensibly derived its name from the mode of its construction: snippets of tape were assembled into a performance. Not a process that would engender 'holographic imaging', one would think.
I didn't think ANYTHING else on the record, OR Frankenstein, for that matter, equaled the sound of those drums!
Sleaze the day!
Mine sounds like crap. The bass is just waaaayy too boomy - so much so that I don't listen to it.
Thanks,
Ken
