      Why? All you could ever hear is their room, mic and your system.
      The recording itself it horrendous, it sounds like an empty hall with all that muddled bass.
      Scrolling through the comments is hilarious, it's as if headphones can magically fix bad audio.

      @@warrenstrachan9765 Although the audio reaching the headphone users ear is pretty garbage it still gives some sense of the ability of the system. I agree that headphones do no justice to a system like this but again there are many people that are just unable to experience something like this.

      Using my Sennheiser HD650 headphones, I’d say the speakers need to be pulled out from the wall at least six feet and some serious bass traps are absolutely essential. Also diffusers and absorbers. Sounded like shit. Nice guy though. I’m pretty sure he knows the speakers need to move out from the wall. …probably doesn’t want the speakers in his way, but really? …with a system like that?!

    I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t play the system for viewers. WE KNOW it doesn’t sound the same in person as our ear buds or whatever systems!!! Hopefully content producers can get over the dilemma so we can move on to music selection. Thanks for playing it! Makes me want to hear it in person.

You probably can here the music in every facet of the shop... I've hung out with some HAM radio operators and they use linears to boost their RF output. They also build up the input in stages before it gets to the final output linear amplifier on AM or FM..

    Really nice setup. I have a pair of Klipsch R-14M bookshelf speakers sitting just above my monitor that are pointed slightly down. Even they can pick up the amazing sound you are recording. I am sure there is some loss. But, still.............Oh, I run my speakers thru a Marantz receiver connected to the motherboard audio out.

    Can't say much for sound but it was cool to see the set up and get a run down. Then to at least see it in action was good. Definitely a sight to behold but I bet so much better to hear in person. Thanks and good job

    Might want to check the frequency response at the place of listening. I don't hear any mids, at times it sounds muffled and other times it seems like there is a lot of highs. There might be some room interaction, or microphone equalisation needed.
    Bass is also overpowering the microphone a bit? I like these sound demos and usually the ones that translate the best have a lot of empty space around the speakers to minimize room interaction.

    If you get the Smyth Realiser A16 then you can capture the full sound of the Mcintosh system you have here and can then take the sound signature anywhere you want.. its a great machine .. I have several of these kinds of rooms filled with great equipment recorded ... and the A16 records in 24 channels so you also get 24 of those speakers in the recording for Atmos

    Bet in person it sounds amazing. If I ever hit the lottery, McIntosh will be front and center. My speakers will be different as I love Horns and don’t need 2,000 watts . I bet that reel to reel in person is unbelievable ! Thank you. My system is what I always wanted. Klipsch K -horns and Belles , pushed by an old Marantz 2325. For thirty years they have been serving me, dependable. The Marantz is getting tried. Need to get refreshed. If it dies today I would have no complaints. After nearly 50 years of service ? What a tank ! It still sounds great but I’m sure it’s lost some of its Gitty up ! It looks mint in it’s walnut case as my speakers. I’m scared to send it away. I know I am going to have do something soon, after so many years it’s like sending a child off to college !

      K-Horns make for a great system. They don't nee much power and deliver a very realistic experience. Thanks for sharing Fabien.

  • @Ranger4564

    I'm listening in YT on a set of Yamaha headphones, which are exceptionally good at being accurate. The treble on these is thin. The midrange is also light. The bass is oppressively overpowering. I don't know if the music, or recording distorted the delivery, but it sounded terrible. The SkyFi Klipsh LaScala presentations are so much better. I'm not sure what's happening here. I wish i could afford speakers at this level so I could justify auditioning them in person. :) Thank you for the great effort you guys do go through to provide the information and content.

  • @JRadian
    @JRadian ปีที่แล้ว

    Over IEM's, that's some ill-defined, muddy bass, but highs/mids sound quite nice.. Better speaker positioning, bass traps and room correction suggested..

    You definitely need to upgrade your microphones to do this more in the future hopefully, but I really appreciate the effort thank you sharing an exquisite system!

    Impressive stuff, wow. Thanks for the effort!
    When the bass rolls in the first tune there is maybe some acoustic compression going on the recording? No surprise with 2 X 2K Watts and those sublime speakers LOL. The last track, was that Gino Vanelli? Which album is that?
    Anyway, love to hear more of the special systems you have. 🙂
