New thinking....back to the future.

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

A lot to digest in this article, and no doubt there will be objections from the purist, straight-wire-with-gain, neutrality-uber-alles faction. Srajan says it best when he states:
This concept is far from novel. It's standard MO in the pro world where active bi-amping is a feature of many monitors to begin with. It simply hasn't caught on with the fundamentalists of hifi. Those remain dominated by puritanical notions of an absolute sound that is a fixed though abstract standard. Simply put, the recorded music we listen to has been doctored endlessly at the mastering console. That's a fancy name for nothing but a very complex equalizer. With recordings helmed by different engineers in studios around the globe, a rigidly fixed playback system with a single voicing is bound to fail.
A very good article, with a lot of food for thought.
