Energy RC-10

Loudspeakers
Submitted by gkubalik on

I have been auditioning the Energy RC-10 for a few days and like what I hear so far. Highs and midrange are very good. Bass is good, perhaps just a tad under damped. I am thinking this might be a room issue rather than the speaker. Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.

Zappa! Zappa! Zappa!

Zappa! Zappa! Zappa!

Apr 21, 2008

Truth is: I know diddly-squat about Frank Zappa. I've heard this and that, of course, and all I've heard has always been intriguing, but, for no good reason, I've just never taken the time to dive into Zappa's world. Perhaps it's because his world seems so enormous and wild and foreign. His world is full of barking pumpkins and utility muffins and Sprechstimme and other things I can neither imagine nor pronounce. I mean, even his name is strange. Like an exclamation, like a shot of electricity. Zappa! Say it three times, and something bad might happen. <i>Zappa! Zappa!</i> (No, don't!)

Is it just my subjective observation OR was it a measured action by NeedleDoc? So It seems there is a full full page of all ORTOFON stuff, which is not the usual NeedleDoc play. And how coincidental, there are Ortofon reviews...now....I thought.....perhaps mistakenly, but wasn't something similar to this idea of not advertising when there is a review of a product for that product, and a dealer advertising it? Wasn't this an issue previously discussed that it violates Stereophile policy?

Active vs passive Xover

Are active crossovers better than built-in speaker crossovers as a matter of course regardless of implementation? In other words are you better off with an active crossover no matter how good your built-in speaker crossover may be and one should consider an external active crossover and bi-amping if the speaker design and funds allow it? Aside from the flexibility that an active, external crossover allows, what makes a crossover good or bad from a sound quality perspective? How does one decide which is a good xover (active or passive) and which isn't?

Thanks
