makiki-sawsaw lang po
......please forgive these
seemingly stupid questions that i would like to be clarified of coz am just a
newbie in audio
......don't be fooled by the number of posts printed across my handle, 97% of them were posted on the DVD (video) related threads of this website
i
kept on reading these descriptions on speakers and even on receivers, in almost all the audio related threads herein, to wit: "
bright", "
bright side", "
warm", "
warm side", at meron pa ngang "
dark side" akala mo star wars
the usage of these descriptions here is so
rampant that a '
STIGMA' has already been attached to some speakers &/or receivers as being "
bright" or "
warm". some members (even those who are as
greenhorn as i am in audio) would simply & conveniently categorize or generalize certain brands as "
naku, bright yang speakers na yan" or "
naku, pangit ang combo na yan, parehong bright ang speakers at receiver na yan" & "
dapat warm ang speakers para di masakit sa tenga", or other words or phrases of similar import. basic examples of these generalization are: yamaha receivers as "
bright", B&W speakers also as "
bright", HK receivers as "
warm", etc.
on the other hand, i seldom encounter these descriptions and generalizations whenever i visit some international websites/forums on audio/video most especially w/ regards to receivers. they use some other adjectives that are very specific & particular about the tonal characteristics of a certain speaker or receiver model, not merely as "
bright" or "
warm".
AND they don't generalize their descriptions on the whole line of models of a particular brand of speaker or receiver.
so, am just wondering on the following, and these are now my questions:
a) is there a
scientific instrument or
barometer used in measuring whether a particular speaker or receiver is on the "
bright side" or "
warm side" as these words are understood here in pinoydvd? if there is, what is this instrument?
b) in the absence of such scientific instrument, is there a
scientific method or
research that can be conducted by which a particular speaker or receiver can be fairly tested & described as being "
bright" or "
warm", again as these words are understood here in pinoydvd? if there is, is it generally accepted by the audiophile community and other audio/video organizations as being a fool-proof methodology?
c) in the absence of these two, is there a
published audio (or audio/video) journal,
book, or
magazine that contain & cronicles the opinions, observations and conclusions of world-renowned audiophiles, sound/accoustic engineers & other audio/video experts, categorizing certain speakers/receivers or their particular models as being on the "
bright side" or "
warm side", again as these words are understood here in pinoydvd?
in the absence of any of the three (3) above, curious lang po ako as to how the rampant descriptions & generalizations of certain brands of speakers & receivers,
either fairly or unfairly, have
evolved here in pinoydvd
......i think there has to be some basis for this phenomenon
.......di kaya dahil nagkataon lang na halos karamihan ng
magagaling at may ginintuang mga tenga sa odyo dito sa pinoydvd ay pare-parehas ang panlasa or
preference pagdating sa kung ano ang nasa "
bright side" or "
warm side".
is this just a consensus here at pinoydvd or there's some solid basis for these generalizations
...... nagtatanong lang po at hindi nakikipag-debate
, thanks a lot in advance
