Topic: HT & Music Speakers Differences

[qguy]

True,  you can get away with "cheaper" speakers in HT. I use a Pioneer speakers from a mini compo in our bedroom HT and I can live with it.


 

I think it boils down to preference. Ung mga harsh sounding speakers ung madali and ear fatigue, i find them good for HT and will not use them for music.

Master Louie, we have tried this combination(Triton7 + Tube Amp/SS Mcintosh) and personal taste finds it a bit too forward and a bit heavy on the low end. Very detailed but lacks warmth. But for HT the Triton 7 is mind blowing.

Jojo,
You should try auditioning the Goldenear Triton 7...
For audio drive the pair with Tube Amp (Line Magnetic with 845 tubes)
For HT use it with Denon or Marantz AVR

how about watching concerts?  would you opt to use your stereo set-up or HT one?  hehe

HT for me....

Often my friends and I use a 2.2 system listening to Blu-ray concerts. Sound output from source is set to stereo.

not only Concerts but also MTVs. Stereo is better

But not if audio is DoldyTrue HD and DTS-MA.

For me, masmaganda ang SQ ng HD audio. May mga magagandang recordings din ng concerts. Yun magaganda, napansin ko, front pa din ang image ng performer pero masarap pakinggan ang mga palakpakan coming from the sides and back.

Kung dvd format, parang walang difference sa SQ ang stereo mode and multi-channel. Pero when you use HD audio ng Bluray, parang halatang masyadong compressed ang tunog kapag nag-stereo ka. Mababa din kasi ang audio resolution ng stereo encoding ng mga bluray vs HD audio. Tunog red book quality ang HD audio for me.

And, re topic na HT and music speakers, kung ang pag-uusapan ay preference, some would want it warm and others, bright either for HT or music, would it be safe to say na walang difference supposedly?

[sovrain]

In one of my  experience sa audition, first is for movie, mangha ako sa sound, maganda! then after a while, I ask naman on 2 channel lang, brought out my own CD, played some, wherein, parang my hanap akong characteristics ng sound na wala doon sa speakers, I ask also their demo CD dahil nga parang di ako kuntento pa...pero ganoon pa rin. So, nagpasalamat ako, got out and went to another store ....so, maybe, may difference nga or it's just a personal preference....di rin ako sure ang gulo ko

Is there such thing as speakers for HT and speakers for stereo?

Tatay nelson, maganda po kayang gamitin 2 centre channel for stereo?

Naalala ko ito about a decade ago regarding this topic nung active pa mga gulaman boys tungkol sa pang-HT at music speakers, at isang basehan ko was sa sinehan na maganda ang sounds sa movies, hinde maganda ang sound nya sa music (yung intermission sa next showtime nun). Also sa pagkakatanda ko na for music speakers mas "warm" dapat (more soothing sound at mas gaganahan ka makinig) then for HT, mas "bright" ang okay for the details and sound effects sa movies.

Sonus Faber would probably work for a single set-up for HT and Music....although I'm not sure what would work with regards to amplification...I was looking into a NAD and Sonus Faber set-up a couple of years back......

Baka masmaganda gumamit ka na lang ng isang malaking center speaker or floorstander as center.

Minsan sir nasa recording din yun. Plus, mahirap din I-fine tune ang movie house because ang laki niya sir. Kaya madalas warm siya, is because they cannot make it brighter otherwise, kawawa yun mga audience na malapit sa speakers.   Probably same reason din why some people like me find most auto-calibrations warm to dark sounding, because katunog ng auto calibration ang movie house.
But that's just me sir.

Also sa pagkakatanda ko na for music speakers mas "warm" dapat (more soothing sound at mas gaganahan ka makinig) then for HT, mas "bright" ang okay for the details and sound effects sa movies.

That's preference sir.
