" midrange magic "

Posted by beppe61 on July 29, 2015 at 23:10:50:
Hi
And i agree ... midrange is difficult to get it very right, maybe without using tubes.
Actually i was thinking to something hybrid ... but i also like amps with impeccable figures of low noise and low THD (and they are usually solid state).
With all solid state is a very challenging aspect of sound.
Problem is that to try them i usually have to buy them.
I think that a reasonable approach is:
1) to select the HPs
2) reading about what the owners of that specific HP use to drive them.
But as i said i cannot decide which HP i like better.
I am a little confused.
Speaking of DIY i need to start from a kit and better with the board already populated with soldered parts.
I have a very heavy hand with the soldering iron.
I would like to add a comment on the small SMSL.
I watch a lot of tv series on Netflix lately.
In some cases it is impressive how i can hear clearly the difference in sonic quality between the dialogues (so so) and the effects (scaringly real indeed ! very very live effect).
In general i am astonished by the quality of recorded special effects.
The sounds are so real that are mindbowling.
Thanks again a lot.
Very nice talking with you.
Have a nice day.
