Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Speaker sound

Just a quick post , I've been seeing a lot of banter about
which speakers sound the best,[imagine that] I hope that all
realize that a HUGE part of the "sound" is the cd mastering.
many cd's are 16 bit,from 5th generation masters, bathed in hiss. I hope when comparing speakers,good cd's [the same one
is best],are used,ie.24bit remaster's etc.

LT61-

that exact topic has been discussed mucho times in this forum. in fact, it is widely agreed that axioms actually bring out the imperfections and short comings of inferior recordings due to their accurate and precise sound stage. i would think that most, if not all, fair and open audutions of any speaker, would utilize the same cd/recording, along with the same amp/receiver combo..

that is just a given..

I doubt there are many on subject 'new" posts,never before seen, or heard. This is for the other 2000 members,maybe some will like it.

LT61,

How can you tell if a cd is recorded with 24 bit?

wait, wait.. i think we got off on the wrong foot..

i was meaning no animosity in my post.. i can tell by reading yours that i may have 'pushed your buttons', so to speak.. i should have put a smiley face or two in there.. i wasnt trying to undermine anything you were saying.

i was just trying to point out that from the discussions i have read and participated in, most people feel the same way that you do.. good recording is essential.. with equal standards. thats all.

i hope this 'unpushes' your buttons..

oh, i almost forgot..

its all good

John - your smiley faces insult and offend me.

well then i will do this

Now I'm offended! Damn Texans!

About that remastering stuff... huge difference most of the time. I have JJ Cale's Greatest Hits un-remastered, great tunes but you can hear LOTS of tape hiss on the older recordings.

I'll have to double check on the older recordings, but my M50s sounded better than Peter's M22s on some of the more poorly mastered stuff. A little mre forgiving.

This is JUST the kind of thing that got the Alamo attacked in the first place!
