So impressive packaging, and a nice bag - but how do they sound?

No, no, no, no, no. Ty you do NOT EVER take a device out of the cardboard
box like that. Upside down and lift the box off.

Great video of how not do do it, including forgetting to putting it on a
suitable height table instead of on the floor.

So will Ty's back if he doesn't learn to do things wiser. He didn't even
lift it right as pr. Roadie standards, i.e. one hand low and one hand high
and close to the chest. Also he had the weight too far away from his body
when setting the box down initially.

If you need a video to figure out how to open a box.. that's just sad.

Dear FFF,
Take the choir boy off your lap and listen up. The way in which the goods are
packed makes a big difference in how well they will survive and also says a
lot about the packer.
BTW, folks, do you have any particularly good ball busters CDs you use to
test a system? I have some that are my favorites, but I'm always open to
more.
Thanks,

Absolutely. Get hold of Fires, a CD by Nerina Pallot. Just a girl
singer/songwriter and her piano, but incredibly demanding. The last
track, NickIndia, has good solid bass down to below 20Hz, and it
really shows up the difference between real bass and the home cinema
kind.

Ty, search this forum for posts by "nappy" (aka FFF) and you'll see
why it's best to ignore him.
Every once in awhile he does offer good advice but unfortunately those

separation and clarity, and you can clearly hear the words they're singing,
the speakers have great midrange clarity. Many speakers don't handle choir
well at all.

I use about half the cuts on Dire Straits "On Every Street" whenever I
have my monitoring worked on. Damn nice recording. Real nice bottom.

well-buried man's voice). Not hugely demanding, but I know what it's
supposed to sound like, since they're both women I've gone out with (not
simultaneously), and I know what they sound like when singing unmiked.
For bass I sometimes use a remaster of "The Band", or a Jesse Winchester
recording with very nice bass on it.
Peace,
Paul (never went out with the guitar player, but know what he sounds like
too)

Thanks Mike (and others)
I found the original Pink Panther Theme (Henry Mancini) this morning is a
good one particularly for horns and bass, even though I can hear the tape
hiss, I don't much care. The glock (or triangle) and string parts towards the
end are particularly well done.

thanks for that David. What i continue to hear is a noticeable difference
among CDs. Even the stereo field. It seems obvious that different mixers had
different monitor/sweet spot distance ratios set up when they mixed. If
something doesn't pop right in, I move forward or back slightly until I hit
the right distance and bang, there it is.

Maybe not ALL that well done if you can't tell whether it's a glock.

Ty I don't remember you being so profane! It's f 'in great !
I think they're just ribbin ya ..
I don't really listen to anyone elses music much here in my studio. Only
what I compose. That's how I chose the JBLs in the room now. I couldn't
think of any single recording that would work for that analysis anyway. Or
any group of recordings. Except noise, a sweep and some pulses into an
analyzer!
It take so long to evaluate speakers for me.. I have to let them sink in
over a number of projects and see how far I have to stretch things to make
it sound good on most monitors, in the car and out of an iPod or whatever.
When I buy spkrs I take some of my best mixes with me and pick the ones that
sound like they should. On my last venture I really wanted to like the
Genelecs and the Adam(s) and the rest.. but the JBLS were right in the
pocket.
Then.. I bought another console! One curve after another.
Mike Rieves
Lighten up Ty, we were just poking a little fun at you. BTW, there are both
triangle and glock in the part toward the end, and it's very easy to tell
which is which on all three sets of monitors I use, EV Sentry 100A, M-Audio
BX5a, and JBL Control 25, and yeah, I know the Control 25s aren't really
monitors, but I find them useful as nearfields on occasion.
Just so you know the tringle is doing the single high note and the glock is
playing a melody line. :-)

Meyers, Adams and Genelecs.
I think the Opal brings something new to the table. I think you need to put
it on your short list. I'm hearing a lot more variation from CD to CD. That
says, "transparency" to me.
I would have written any monitor with only a 7-8" LF driver off in the past.
The Opal has a very nice LF.
Still listening for the tragic flaw. Don't hear one yet.

Mike,
Sorry, over here the comments just translate as "pissy." Thanks for
confirming. I thought I heard both in there but was trying to be casual about
it. But you can really hear the wood in some of those hits and metallic ping
in others.
The bass is, and I've never used this word before, luscious. Not all of the
Mancini tracks on that CD sound as good, but Pink Panther is exceptional. The
horns (a good test of a system) also sound very "real" to me.
I have 100A on one station and know how to mix on them to deal with that
thickness/darkness they have. The Opals are several TIMES above the 100A.
It's like taking a thick towel off and turning on a sub. Exponentially more
open. Obviously more complete in the LF.
I continue to have my skepticism eroded.
Still waiting for the opportunity to apply the brotherly whack or pink belly.
Regards,
Flatulent Father Flannigan
>
you need to listen to some of my mixes. I work tragic flaws in routinely. :)
Mike Rieves
The 100A's are what they are, in my room the bass is just fine, they're hung
in the room corners near the ceiling and they have decent response down to
30 Hz. I have a pair of 12" subs if I need more bass, but I rarely use them.
My 100A's don't sound either thick or dark, in fact, I'd describe them as
being just a hair bright. They are a bit reticent in the midrange though. I
do most of my mixing with my BX5a's and use the 100A's as a check.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Event Opals, when I get ready to

Zepto Francisco
are as good as my Vanderstreens at 2000.00/ea. And really clean, smooth bass response. I'm a bass player and they are
wonders without using a sub. With a sub they kill. Just of HI-Def PC audio (ASUS-Realtek). I may hook the whole kit up
to a nice Kenwood amp I have. TBD as it sounds so good there is no real reason to mess with it. Hooked to a home media
server back end I built using Monkey's Audio. Got 64TB of storage and I am setup. Music is your special friend!
If your up for trying things out give "Peace" EQ a try. You'll have a whole soundboard in your living room. Works with
most players. I still like Foobar, but is use MusicBee some too. Then plug Electric Sheep in as your screen saver and just kick
back and let it roll. You'll never be better. Adding Peace to your player and Electric Sheep to your screen will take you over
the top. And the subscription service for Electric Sheep Gold will turn your brain to the consistency of moldy gauze it is so
powerful. Less than the cost of the paper and 4k and up resolution will blow you out. But you don't need it Electric Sheep
2 is so awesome. You won't forget me. BTW, I'm Zepto. Been here 30 years. Rarely come out. Just your conversation was
worthy. Asta la Vista...
