No, it does sound a bit odd. I wouldn't expect a source impedance of 4 ohms to behave much differently into 180 ohms or 600 ohms.

I've never understood the "it sounds like the gig" argument when it comes to rock music. What you're hearing at a (large) rock gig is the PA, and...

Yes, I agree that the world of classical music and the world of rock music seem to be poles apart, and it's not just in terms of musical content -...

Yes, the single-volume-control route would make everything a lot simpler and safer.

That's interesting. Can you elaborate? In what way is it unlistenable? In my opinion the "problem" with classical music is that it has a very wide...

What's "horizontal" bi-amping? Is that one power amp for L & R bass, and another power amp for L & R tweeters? If so, I suppose it would be...

This link tells you all about the different labels: http://www.mcmullon.com/icollect/hi_fi/jim_rogers/jr_review.htm

When swapping from one pair of speakers to another the (almost?) inevitable change in tonal balance hits you first and can put you off them. Longer...

What do you think of the sound?

BTW, here's an interesting site for JR149 info: http://www.mcmullon.com/icollect/hi_fi/jim_rogers/jr_review.htm It says "The red and gold logo...

There appears to be no end-grain visible which makes it look like they're veneered. Probably chipboard with some kind of "mahogany" veneer. ...

BTW, the idea of hanging speakers from bungee cords might seem totally nuts to most audiophiles but it isn't seen as quite so potty in the studio...

The driver doesn't have a conventional-looking dust cap but as far as I can tell it's still a conventional driver which handles the lowest...

For a high Q suspension, ie one that is bouncy, the resonant frequency should lie outside the audio band, ideally, probably below 10Hz. There are...

The issue isn't really the cabinet moving, it's the floor vibrating due to being coupled directly to the speaker cabinet. A large area of wooden...

I agree entirely, but you'd think that's exactly what it was when you read comments on forums along the lines of "we had a phonostage shootout last...

Your assumption is that the way the records sounded at the time was the way the artist wanted them too. That may not be the case. They had to work...

Indeed it may. I think there are far too many pieces of equipment which quote distortion figures at full output. I think the performance at low...

Don't they? Brian May has knocked out a few tunes :lol: (Ok, an astronomer, but there's a lot of maths in it.)

That's an interesting point which brings up a subject rarely mentioned in discussions: that distortion in digital systems increases with decreasing...

BTW, I think some of my comments on this thread may have given the impression that I'm one of those people who believes that measurements are...

Personally, I think they're useless. The problem is that the metal parts within the glass envelope can vibrate and ring and that is certainly...

Yes, I did bring up the subject of accuracy, but I'm kind of regretting it now, not because I don't think it's a laudable goal but because I'm well...

Very impressive - fabulous commitment to doing a great job and fabulous results. :clap: This shows what can be done with relatively limited...

Will the super-precision tiny robotic hand be driven by some kind of electro-mechanical means? Maybe the tiny robotic hand could be pushed and...

If you can tell me exactly what model the amplifier is (even supply a circuit diagram if possible) it might be possible to take an educated guess as...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Unfortunately, a certain reviewer is very fond of reducing his reviews to a single number such as that. What is he on? :scratch:

"Full range" or single driver loudspeakers are a prime example. The frequency response is seriously curtailed at both ends of the spectrum and...

For me, accuracy remains the goal. How to measure it or assess it is another matter. Dismissing the goal of accuracy is simply giving yourself...

This simply sidesteps the basic issue - that coffee is simply a matter of preference whereas hi-fi has a clearly defined objective. Whether or not...
