alot of people think loud= quality(aka more bottom end)
imo that takes away the whole listening experience.I like to hear details not just body shaking because I have 4 subs in a room.
people like smokeape should worry about their hearings,because to me his system reaches more then 100 dB and thats just too much. |
I need to feel the bump, not just hear it. Doesn't always take 100 db, but that's not a bad thing either.... BTW, I'm permanently hearing impaired from my Army days...
:D

well you are not helping it either by getting bigger and louder systems.your system isnt tweeked properly either.
But hey it is your ears and your body so do what you wish. |

Let's see
Nad Pre-amp
Nad Amp
Onkyo Cd Player
Home made cabling ( interconnect and speaker as well )
Acoustic Research speakers.
And that's rated at 60 watts but I'm sure my sound is much clearer then what you get out of your bass bins
:p
I should soon have an all portable rig for the portable dvd player with an external dac amp for added control on my grado headphones ( considering an upgrade to some Sennheisers or Beyer Dynamic ) |

Nice system dude,have you done any treatments (acoustical) to your room by any chance? |

Oh and simply stated... 900 watts isnt that much either if your talking raw power.
Then again I have been infront of 20,000 watt systems that sound lick dick because they arnt setup right, and I have been infront of 5000 watt systems that sound golden because they are setup well and tuned right. |
How can i get the best of my sound system? I wanna be able to hear everything in the song im listening, u know.. |

Do you listen to mp3's? because no matter what you do to them you can never hear the real quality of the song.since it is all compressed.
But a good book shelf monitors should do the job.Also depends on the size of the room and the placement of the speakers as well. |

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure if my memory served me right ( the logitech part that is ).
Speaking of power .... some of the worlds best systems ever ( Paradise garage new york RIP and Stereo Montréal ) are all analog and run close to 5000 watts for huge clubs but they pull it off with the best quality ever :)

ah no way man .... I still need my real place before I even consider doing that.
I have been moving so much in recent years that considering any kind of work like that would be a waste of money due to the short lived usage it would have.
Right before I moved to Europe from the US back in january ( I wasn't expecting to move that early ... ) I was working on getting a higher end tv ( well "high" end at around 800 bucks ) and getting everything setup well .... thankfully I didn't drop the cash cause it would have been a waste ! :(
I still need to get some bad ass speakers .... my worst component in the system is the speakers ( the cheapest too :stongue: ) |

even if they are compressed if u have a 320kbs instead of a 128 or 192 u can hear the difference. hence y mp3 sites such as beatport give them out like that. |

No offense but most EDM doesn't deserve a real sound system ( poorly produced and such ) so if that's what you listen to exclusively I say maybe splurge on a sub but don't over do it.
Otherwise yeah as hardcore trancer suggested get some book shelf speakers like Acoustic research for example and a decent amp.
If you're broke and you want a decent radio get a Tivoli one speaker included it's around 130+ bucks :p |

ahh right.
I have 5 speakers, i placed 2 of them next to my monitor, other 2 each side of my room, and the 5th one on the centre of the wall right above monitor. I do get good sound to be fair and im happy :)
thanks for advice though. |

Yea, EDM is the one genre of music (this includes rap) where you can really pump up the low ends and mid ranges and not have to worry about fidelity because it just isnt there usually.
Only thing I would really say about LARGE systems ment to play any recorded music is that they must handle the highends really well, as this is what really adds to ear fatigue. |
Back home on the system I listen to mostly jazz on the speakers that's where the real quality of the setup comes out!
and edm on the Shure earbuds whenever I'm walking around so I don't feel compelled to try and pump up my bass setup back home |
