system speaker no sound image
George
Like say a Yamaha center speaker with say Klipsh in the rest of your 5.1 or 7.1 system speakers. Will they sound off balance or something or maybe interfere with eachother? I want to know what people have experienced.
Thank You

haha only the most snobbish hometheatre geek would turn his little nose up at such a concept!!!!!!! let me talk about this a bit as i have heard things like this before.
speakers all have a frequency table. that is a line graph drawn across the spectrum of sound
0 hertz and one end of the graph and maybe
30,000 hertz at the other.
then a squiggled line is drawn across and you can see which frequencies are emphasized( made louder) by the design of the speaker. so to different speakers will have two different frequency tables for many many different acoustic reasons... some people watch for it and some dont. some people will go as far as to prohibit the replacment of an individual driver on one side of the speaker array because the sides will no longer match. for visualization...recording studio speakers generally emphasize no frequency so you get a true playback of your music. home theatre subs will emphasize low frequencies because thats what they are supposed to do...make sense? anyways as far as hand picking which speakers to place at your centre or you front left and right or your rear left and right. it is a very common and celebrated thing to do!! but yes 99.99999% of people will choose identical left and right "pairs" of speakers.
as far as power requirements again its very muddy waters but matching the left and right "pairs" is really the only guideline.
have fun, swap out pieces, mess with the sounds, mess with the EQ tune it, retune it....always ...live it up..
if you crank your amp to loud damage could occur
4 ohm speakers in an 8 ohm amp damage might occur.
but a speaker designed to handle large power hooked to a smaller amp?? yer pretty safe I think....

What computer sound system can you suggest, for a guy who wants to make electronic music?

Hey everyone
Christmas is coming up and i wanted to add a few wishes to my wishlist. Does anyone out here have any recommendations for a great computer sound system (speakers and bass). In particular, something that doesnt cost much more than 250£, but still has a kicking bass and top-notch sound quality, if that is even possible.
On a side note, do you have any recommendations for a good midi keyboard?
Answer
You really need to go out and listen for yourself. For everyone that claims that brand x or model y is the best, there is an equal opposite opinion. What some people call deep bass others won't, or they will find it loose or boomy. Since you will be making electronic music through them, they will essentially be part of the instrument, which is probably not a good thing. With electric guitar, the speakers are a big part of the sound, which is why so many guitar plug ins for recording have speaker emulation. You will probably want the speakers as neutral or 'clinical' sounding as possible, to avoid having the sounds dependent on your particular speakers. Also, make sure you look at the issue of durability. You can put out some pretty nasty waveforms digitally, and this can fry high frequency drivers and crossovers in cheaper speakers. Another concern would be what listening environment the speakers will be placed in. Near field monitors are usually not very good at imaging, except in a very tightly defined area. In other words, high frequency beaming means the treble response will drop off if the listener is not right in the sweet spot, where the full range comes through, so these would not make good speakers to fill a room. There's a ton of choices, so your best bet is to stick with speakers sold by music stores, rather than trying to get the most watts for the least money. Of all the websites I've found, http://www.Sweetwater.com has the widest selection, best organization and most thorough descriptions and reviews overall. So, I'd start there and narrow down the choices to something manageable and then search for a couple of more reviews on other sites, and then search for the best price/service deal.
As for a midi keyboard, that depends on what you are looking for: a strict midi controller, a keyboard with built in sound capability, or something with integrated control surface, such as transport controls for start/stop while recording, pads for percussion, etc. Something else to research at Sweetwater.
