Bookshelf spkrs for classical by
Gordon MacPherson
Hi,
I am looking for bookshelf speakers to play classical music. Price
range is up to 350 GBP (say 500 USD). I have heard good things of the
B&W DM602 S3, Epos M5, Monitor Audio RS1, Wharfedale Diamond 9.2. I have
a medium sized room (about 12x14 ft). At the moment I am leaning
towards the Monitor Audios.
Any other suggestions or opinions welcome
Thanks

Before I get too far into a recording session with a new mic configuration:

Quad ESL 2805 by
Hans
Is there anybody who did hear the Quad 2805 loudspeakers ?
Seems to me they added some extra in the upper and lower regions.
Especially bass is much more than in previous models and is sometimes
to much for me.
I think previous models especially Quad 988 had a more neutral
character.
What do other Quad owners think of the Quad 2805?

Headphones for home recommendation? by
AberTech
Can anyone recommend headphones in the £40 - £75 range for use with a
hi-fi system, mp3 players, possibly even for TV or PC use. They
wouldnt be used out-and-about so size, trendiness etc is not important.
TIA.

OT? Remixing / Sampling by
doki
When someone remixes or samples a part of a record, how's it done? Do they
lay their hands on masters with all the instruments & vocals separated, or
do they just blank out frequencies until they've got what they want? Or is
there clever computerism?
