B&W 703

Forums

Hello! I recently acquired B&W 703s'. I have not been able to get a satisfying answer to this question from B&W: "what is the meaning of -6dB at 30Hz". This is listed as the frequency range. The frequency response is listed as 38Hz - 25Hz +/- 3db on ref. axis. QUESTION:

Thanks.

Active Monitors

Forums

I recently was at a friend of a friends home recording studio and was fairly impressed by what I heard coming from his Mackie monitors. I am looking for a second system in my home and am considering the possibility of running iTunes (via AirTunes) straight to these active monitors. Let me say that I have no idea if that is possible or what the "true" audiophiles might think about active monitors. Opinions anyone?

sennheiser hd-515s and ipod

I use an iPod (regular, 40GB, not video/nano/etc) with Sennheiesr HD-515s. Are these headphones OK with it? I read some reviews which said they sound tinny, and now it's driving me crazy listening for it, but I can't make a comparison because I have no other headphones. I spent $200+ on these, too.

Jake Shimabukuro - the King of the Ukelele

This isn't exactly the right category for this, but, it'll be as good as any given the choices. I saw Jake Shimabukuro live last night at Coda 34 in NYC. He was nothing short of mindblowing. He's like Segovia and Hendrix rolled into one, but, on a ukelele (proper Hawaiian pronunciation: ooh-koo-lay-lay = fleas jumping, describing the fingers on the small fretboard.) I bought two of his CDs (which he kindly inscribed for me) and listened to one last night - it's pretty well recorded, but with a full band and doesn't capture the purity and intensity of him live and solo.
