I use Windows Media Lossless.

The beauty about using lossless compression is that they all the sound the same (as the codec reconstitutes the original regardless of the algorithym) and if you want you to transcode to another lossless format you can - without losing any quality in the process.

So the compression format you use does not matter. 😀

Hi Dean

Thanks for all the info on the computer audio approach. Interesting stuff and I agree it's the way we'll all go eventually (once the consumer electronics people package it right).

Ref the imaging, Ted's drivers are toed in about 60 degrees and cross in front of you. I've found anything large and solid in the way of my set up in the lounge causes the imaging to deteriorate, so I would think the same would happen in the nearfield. Having the speakers slightly forward of the monitor may work or perpahs a LCD monitor might not create such a strong effect. Otherwise, it's down to finding a way to mask the monitor in some way, soften the edges and make them sound absorbing.

I haven't heard the TB speakers but I'd say that from what I've heard of the JXR6s, from 150Hz up, it's as good as it gets with dynamic drivers ...

(I'll progress my boxes over the next few days and will be able to report on the drivers in my familiar system.)

Thanks Colin. I am eagerly waiting to hear if the JX6 can be used where a JX92 was used earlier and to what extent the bass is limited. I presume the JX6 would require a smaller box.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Dave that is just what we are looking for.

Hi Navin

I'd have thought the single JXR6 could only be used instead of a 92 if crossing to a bass system and listening in smaller rooms. The JXR6 has smaller cone area and x-max so ultimate volume levels will be limited. However several of them for home cinema use would be cool - and a lot smaller. Should blow Bose out the water.

Soongsc, what 3" T-B do you like?

Based on recommendations in a previouse thread, I tried the W3-1231SH. In general, it feels natural enough for most music in small rooms unless you get to the real low end. The main reason I even tried it was that it has about the same Xmax as the JX53, slightly larger cone, and that TB drivers seem to degrade less abruptly beyond Xmax as also explained in a different thread where a TB driver was taken apart. I also compared them with an MTM design, the lack of the very low end is definitly noticeable, but I won't miss it that badly when listening to most music. About the only instruments I think I can complain about are the large drums, organs, and certain low frequency stuff in popular music.

The detail resolution is not as good as the JX53 though.

Bose is hardly competition 🙂

I would consider something like B&W's VM1 a better target.

from what I understand the JX6 can be used to about 150hz he same way a jx92 can be used down to 100hz. That is the only limitation is the 1/2 octave higher crossover frequency or is it one octave (200hz)?
