this means that recording engineers - i should say recording companies - don't give a damn about artists themselves, but focus on every possible way to make 1 more sale.
no wonder some artists start their own production.

i still have some cd's from 1984; very good dynamic range.
i used to watch music on an oscilloscope, and i have never seen an old cd with clipped waves. from what i can see of today's recordings, things got worse.
I'm tempted sometimes to buy another oscilloscope...

thanks for your answers. :-)

I've heard tell of a recording engineer for a metal band who had it mixed beautifully, then slid all the sliders all the way up. When asked why, he said that's what the band expected. LOUD.

same thing as tv makers who put every adjustment at max for showroom competition with other makers. then people take a good tv home and watch everything in fluo colors and a screen so bright people need sunglasses and sun screen.

At least you can take that TV home and re-calibrate it or at least take it off the "vivid" setting and choose "theater" instead.

Unfortunately, the technology doesn't exist for me to flip a switch and re-master what they F**ked up.

Wow so far I am very happy with the m2. I watched transformers 2
(Great reference movie....I know some of you hate it though grin )and the on/off axis sound is excellent. Megatron's low voice sounds very good.
The m2 is one awesome little speaker. I only wish I would have bought it 3 years ago instead of the vp150.. I am building the modified shelf right now, should have it urethaned later today.
I'll try to get some pics up by tuesday.
Thanks

I just watched that movie today. The voice is so low, that I'm thinking that most of it's coming from the mains.

Well that’s what you get for not paying attention to all my posts complaining about the SQ of the VP150. wink

You might be right but it was better than the 150 at the side seats smile I'm sure that the sub was helping it out on the low end.....if you can call a 8inch velodyne "low end" laugh
My sub has always been the weak point of my system. My next project is to build two sealed wood veneered boxes to fit two 15" Rythmiks smile

For center channel, I have the M2 paired with the vp100, sometime soon the vp150. I think paired they probably sound the best. M2 above screen, vp150 below screen.

I finally took some pictures. Try to ignore my daughters fingerprints all over everything, and the bad photography, and the dust. Its hard to take good pictures of wood indoors. crazy
I like the way it turned out and so far everyone likes the sound.





That last one makes me laugh! smile I think the flash makes the tv and the glass look worse than it is grin
