QUOTE(howiechoo @ Jan 22 2013, 08:47 PM) direct listen to instrument without going thru amplifier or watever is analog. synthesizer and e.guitar are playing thru amplifier and converter to generate the sound..so it's digital... Which one sound better?most analog system i heard is not really analog....a drum that make the whole car shake like you are inside the band are not called analog....no sound engineer make the cd sounds like you are inside the band, they only make the band right in front of you. This is stereo. not applicable to surround system. High End active or passive system, which one can reproduce the music 'better' compare to the live music!? Just curious.... |

QUOTE(kkeetan @ Jan 23 2013, 11:48 PM) Which one sound better? It's a controversial topic.High End active or passive system, which one can reproduce the music 'better' compare to the live music!? Just curious.... A really good passive setup can shine if setup correctly but the passives alone probably will cost an arm and a leg. And you'll need to be very patient in testing all the different cap brands and combinations. A really good active setup can also shine if you have a very good external crossover. The inbuilt crossover in HUs these days is too basic even though it does do the work. Plonk in a very well tuned audiocontrol or a processor and it'll be heaven and earth difference. Now, if you phrase your question differently and put a cap on the price "Would an active setup costing RM3k sound 'better' than a passive setup costing RM3k?" My answer would then by yes. But if you jack up the budget to 10k, then the answer would be "not necessarily" |

top of the line means nothing, materials used means something...
good electrical design on the passive filter circuit means everything. |

QUOTE(ezmeer94 @ Jan 25 2013, 09:15 AM) So its better active then haa If you're gonna talk about OEM passives, the most expensive passives you can find are.... OEM. Meaning it's ultimately still designed with cost and pricing in mind. But what if u bought a top of the line passive from a speaker manufacturer ? How is it vs active? I'll be happy to know lol If you're talking about custom made passives or modified passives, then you're gonna give active setups a run for their money. People always complain that Dynaudios are hard to run and need massive power. It's not entirely true, with the original passive you'll need big power (preferably). I had my passives modified with a whole lot of Mundorf stuff and an amp with just 100w RMS is more than enough to make it sing quite well. But the Mundorf parts kinda changed the characteristics of the speakers and wasn't quite what I wanted so I'm not using them anymore. So basically if you fiddle around with the hundreds of audio-quality caps, resisters and whatever, you might actually get a pretty interesting sound passive setup. The last time I saw an extreme custom passive, it was the size of a Alpine PDX amp. Massively huge and had so many huge expensive caps on it. One of the caps costs RM450 to buy per piece! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to hear this expensive passive but point is you can do a lot with passives if you have the patience to learn and fiddle around with the different brands. |
