@sam9s,
hmm...till now, i havent been to any losses!
Regarding, proving the point....how are you supposed to prove ur talk, coz u dont know anything about them!
Denon, Jamo or Onkyo...these brands are ofcourse much better than regular speakers in the market. It is because of their high profilic design and amplification rating. U said a 50W Denon speaker. FYI, that includes a separate amplification unit to aid the speaker with that amount of power. Experience..? I have two shops here in Noida. And i've been sharing my best there.
Ok, regarding the Z5300 line, what i meant to say is that the set is ofcourse more popular than Altec's one. Not because its old but becoz, the set itself has its own reputation and name due to the sheer performance it delivered. Z5300 is still and will be better than AL 5051 speakers, no matter how late they are introduced!
Considering, we now know about 5051 as well. More clearer???
You said experience? hehe...Fine, tell me in what sense AL speakers are much clearer than Logitech Z5300?? See, if u are saying that line as universal, then change it. And if u are saying that line in comparison to Z5300...prove it! Dont give excuses becoz of forums!
And regarding the true power and rms thing. See, what i knew holds true this far. Again, em saying if u know anything better please share it here. Better dont give any thinkdigit links to prove that!
And ohh regarding, the comparison thing...either u cant get anything, what i said properly...or may be u are in habit of skipping things!!
U said, 200W is something, no speaker can handle! hmm...how come i know different?
A typical Megaworks amplifier is capable to provide almost 500W of continuous power to the speakers and thats too without any loss! Ever noticed, there isnt even any heatsink to dissipate the power. U say, 200W? I've seen pure 1200W RMS speakers pounding the sound that'll throw ur heart away!!
Just ask my frnd, i'll try my best to clear up the confusions.
Just as speakers go with their power ratings , similarly processors go with frequency and FSB. Read it again. Even if u have troubles, i can help u again!
See, i take those curse and words like that back.(i must be going way too catholic anywayz..
) Never meant to offend u or ur feelings anyway. We are here just to share our best.
Arent we?
@sagardani,
A speaker's power rating (in general) tells you how much A.C. power can be dissipated in the speaker's voice coil without damaging the speaker.
The most honest way to rate a speaker is to give the rating as continuous RMS watts (ex: 150 watts continuous rms power). The first thing you should realize is that speaker ratings are OFTEN exaggerated. Then you should ask if the rating is in RMS or peak watts and are the speaker ratings for instantaneous or continuous power. Most car audio speakers (with the exception of some subwoofers) are rated in peak power or music power. Only a few speakers (generally the higher quality speakers) are rated in RMS watts. While peak power is a legitimate way to rate speakers (as long as the manufacturer tells you that the power rating is in peak watts), it can be deceptive.
Generally speaking, Peak power is 2*RMS power. If a speaker is actually capable of handling 150 watts of peak power it would only be rated to handle 75 watts RMS. If a speaker is rated to handle 150 watts 'music power', it may mean that the speaker will take only very short bursts of power approaching 150 watts RMS. Even if there are two speakers from different manufacturers which have the same power ratings, one of the manufacturers may be more conservative in their ratings than the other manufacturer. The more conservatively rated speaker would be more likely to handle its rated power. So, ratings are just to say that, particular speaker is capable of producing this much amount of power for certain amount of time.
Coming to ur Sharp, Clear, Crisp sound...see, this words typically fits within the high range frequency reproductions. See, the speaker specification chart mentioning the frequency it can handle. Say 20Hz-25KHz! The max. one i.e. above 4KHz, till 16Khzwould concern about the high range sound reproduction. Second to talk, comes the design of satellites, their way of throwing the sound at direction and finally the usage of quality tweeters and metal tappings over them. Things like Impedance also comes into the play then.
U said, ur Inspire 4.1 are crisper than Z5500! See, the user perceptions may vary with their way of listening. But, the fact is different. If the satellites are rated higher with wattage, that means it is capable of producing louder sound than others. Louder in terms of tweeters means high frequency sounds, in terms of squakers means better mid range and in terms of woofer means, better bass loudness. And ohh...that'll include the loudness, i.e. "dhuuuumm" as u say!
Look, bigger the woofer...i.e. >6.5"...better is the bass reproduction. You can almost feel the room shaking experience. That is only possible if its rated accordingly.
Look, setting the speaker on equalizer is very important. No matter how hard u listen, how heavy speakers u have. But, just think, if ur speaker isnt capable of handling that much of volume it is been thrown upon than the only thing to say is that, the speaker cant handle that much of power. Simply putting...as u increase the volume level, more power and heat is going to be handled by speakers. And if speakers cant...Clipping gets introduced.
See, i generally never write this much to explain my point. Just for ur point, i tried explaining the things for good.
