Coheed and Cambria - Descension

A four vinyl album release, now available as a single purchase, it comes a bit steep, but if one loves serious music still well worth the outlay. With the vinyl you get the soundstage, the 'feel' of the power and the full listening experience.

In turn beautifully sparse and then thunderously exciting. A concept piece that tells a story.
Beware though! This one moves the furniture when you turn it past 9 oclock on the circular attenuator. Safe though, as it is distortion that ruins your ears, not volume as many people think. If you have the power the speakers will never go into soft-clipping condition, so your hearing is safe.

Turn up good gear and it just gets louder and nothing more.
If you do not ever listen to Progressive music (why not), this would be a fabulous starting point.
Not on you tube though, with its terribly compressed midrange and hardly any dynamic range, listen to all the frequencies on decent seperates. Rejoice, England still makes the best audio equipment in the world, hoorah for England

Totally recommended,
9.3
 
100 watts per chanel at one metre equals 95 decibels. I am fairly sure neither of you have anywhere near that much power. This is of course into an 8ohm impedence. Reduce the resistence and you might get a bit more out of bi-amped set ups with bridged power into one pre-control. But that would only be with bi-wired speaker cable less than 5 metre runs and with high silver content to boot.
The two of you are arguing just for the sake of it, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

sorry but science is against you, anything over 85 decibelscan lead to hearing loss

Roxbrough:

A simple assertion that your recommendation does, or does not, lead to danger of hearing loss would suffice. Makes no difference whether or not we know what we are talking about. And whether or not you know whether or not someone like me knows what you are talking about.
And as for England, opinions differ. :D

I know this much, you're no hearing specialist... Prolonged exposure to anything over 85dB no matter what the sound source is potentially bad for hearing and you ought to get your facts straight before advising people about potential health risks.
 
Neither of you have equipment that could anywhere near approch 85 decibels.
Stop being obtuse and argumentative about something, of which, you evidently are ignorant of, I am putting you both on ignore.
I have also reported your discourteous conduct to the site owner.

The current medical advice states prolonged exposure to 85dB is potentially damaging to hearing and you know there are speakers available to the public that can well exceed that so you're being disingenuous.

Do you think ignoring me is going to prevent my right of reply?
 
Roxbrough: Still no answer to a simple question that you surely must be able to answer:

Does or does not your recommended system come along with the possibility of hearing loss according to the currently established sound level for hearing loss? That can be answered with a simple yes or no.​

I have to say that your continued evasion leaves me with the impression that the answer is yes.

And did you say you reported me for asking such a question? :eek:

Sounds like a "yes" to me as well.

I could say more, but you know what I mean...........

Waiting.......:eatpop
