How to get this is an age-old question
How to get really great sound is a question which, has to take many factors into consideration. A sound is something that is very personal and because we all have different hearing then your sound may not be what I like and at the same time my sound may not be what you like. But, here are certain things that we can certainly address that will allow you to get a really great sound.
I just love Tannoy loudspeakers and during the course of my life have owned many pairs of old and new Tannoy loudspeakers and they all are able to produce a really great sound!
The sound
Every person has their own way of listening and also the type of music to which they listen can be so different. Two people with the same systems will never agree why one system sounds better to one and not the other. The systems are both the same but one person is playing acid rock at high volume and the other person is playing Classical music at low volume.
So why should the sound be not so good in one room? A good question and the answer is very simple. The characteristics of the room and what the room contains. How high is the room and how wide is the room. How has the equipment been positioned in the room and how are the acoustics in the room. Is the room dead or is the room alive?
What sort of sound do you want from your system? Do you want a sound that is strong and hard and gives you that smack in the chest when you turn up the volume and sends shivers running down you want a sound that is liquid and lush and so full it envelops you with it’s beauty and you feel like you are floating in the air.
Choice
The first thing that you have to do is decide just exactly what the sound is that you want and at what volume you will be playing your music. Please understand that one system will not do everything and this has nothing to do with price or the components used but it is simply the fact that every piece of music is different.
The piece of music that you will listen to sounds great in the studio where it was created but your listening area is not a studio. Your listening area in most cases your front room or maybe you are lucky enough to have a dedicated music room. What can be done to make the piece of music sound great in your listening room?
I have found over the years that you do not have to do that much to get a really great sound in your listening area because it all comes down to a few basic steps. The first thing is the positioning of your equipment. The second thing is the positioning of your loudspeakers and the third thing is the positioning of your self when you are listening to your music.
Equipment
If you want that hard hitting fast dynamic sound with bite, speed and attack the choose a Solis state amplifier but if you want that lush warm sound with a feeling of freedom and passion then choose a valve amplifier. When you have your amplifier then look at your Loudspeakers. I mentioned Tannoy Loudspeakers earlier and this is because Tannoy loudspeakers are able to play most types of music without any problem. The older Tannoy are best suited for Valve amplifiers and the later models are best suited for solid state amplifiers or a combination of Valve pre-amplifier and solid state power amplifiers.
When you have chosen your amplifier and loudspeakers, you will then decide on the source. Do you want to use CD, Tape, Vinyl or Media files? All of which can be used but each has its good points and bad points. Next is your audio cables and power cords because people forget that they are just as import to select correctly because your system will only sound as good as the weakest link! Never compromise on your cables, as this is something you will regret!
