I heard lots of people talk about room acoustic and I'm planning to do DIY acoustic panel to absorb the first reflection of speaker. But How can i tell if i need it?
thanks.

If your imaging is crystal clear and you can easily "sense" exactly where each instrument is located between (and occasionally beyond) the speakers then you probably can live without treating the reflection points.
If you read about crystal clear imaging and wonder what they're talking about, you probably need to treat the reflection points

thanks. The reason i'm asking because i can hear very high pitch(not sure how to describe it) when listening to high vocal such as celine dion. It's kind of uncomfortable high end. May be titanium tweeter plays a role here?

[uncomfortable high end] That's not the acoustics, that's just Celine Dion!

I was hoping someone would say that before I did.

I was thinking the same thing (that's what Celine sounds like ) but seriously room treatments wouldn't normally help with something like that. I'm not a big Celine Dion fan at the best of times but I wasn't real impressed the few times I heard her albums played on a good stereo, ie I didn't think the recordings were real good.
The one downside of a real accurate speaker is that if the recording has a hard edge you will hear it loud and clear. The M3s, 40s and 50s are supposed to be a bit more tolerant in that regard.
Do you hear this effect on all Celine's albums or just a few albums/tracks ? If just some, it might be worth posting the details so someone else on the board who has the album can comment re: whether they hear the same thing.

Not all of her albums and all of her songs. The one i heard last night was "One Heart" . It was supposed to be good song, but i guess the recording was not so good. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention until last night. I will hear her album again and post any song that i think it's not good recording. But with Diana Krall sounds so good on my M60...:)

Yes, Diana was made for Axioms. If you can believe it, she even sounds a tiny bit better on M2s than on M60s.

I was tempted to say the same thing however I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings! My wife and I are both Canucks and can't stand Celine. Great talent but horribly overplayed on the radio!
Maybe her cd's are recorded for radio?
Maybe Bren will chime in with his usual entertaining spin on things?

Does anyone in Canada (at least outside Quebec) actually like Celine Dion ? Everyone used to joke that "we export so much talent to the US, how come we gotta be stuck with Celine ?".
Geez, another thread off the rails
