Hi Guys,

I was listening to a 90's vintage Dorian recording on CD and came to one piece where a flute really blasts out on one note with the other notes adjacent seeming to all be at the same amplitude. Is this a problem with my room or with my Theater 4's. I've not particularly noticed a peak at this frequency before and I doubt that a Dorian recording would have such a loud peak; they are noted for their good recordings. Would/could a peak like this occur with such a small bandwidth?

Thanks!

Garland

If you have Speaker Workshop or something like that, you might try measuring the system indoors and outdoors, to see if the peak is there. If it is there indoors but not outdoors, then it is something in the room. If it is outdoors too, then it is in the speaker, perhaps something loose and buzzing or maybe cone breakup. If you don't see the peak either indoors or outdoors, then it is the recording.

I've had that sometimes with a few notes on Jimmy Smith's "The Sermon"- there's a part where he uses some really high notes on the organ, and they used to resonate somewhere in the system and those particular notes would be twice as loud as the rest of the music. With current speakers (Stage 4) it doesn't do it anymore. Did it really bad with older Adcom amp, but just on those few notes.
