Loving my Q40s so far. Still haven't had a lot of time with them yet, but they sound just like my BX5's with a much more definitive and pronounced bass that monitors of that size just can't produce. However I hafts agree with you Warrior, the cable sucks. I don't have a reference point for...

Well, it took me a few days, but I've read the whole thread. The Q40's sound like a great deal. Now I just need to decide which I'd rather have, a sub for my BX5's, or the Q40's.

Hey everyone. I've received some incredible help here in the past, getting my M-Audio BX5's setup properly to my computer with an EMU 0404. Everything has been great so far, minus the buzz that I just can't eliminate from the speakers. Aside from that, I've been thinking about adding a...

Why not.... Here's me No, in the back. Being ever so creepy and awkward. No cans, I know. Just on set of a recent photo shoot, doing what I do. Taking pictures that is.

Right, that's essentially what I said in parentheses. Just different wording. Edit: Well, not quite. I disagree about the angular perspective. Distortion is more pronounced towards the edges of the image circle. Since you're only using a smaller portion of this circle, it's not quite as...

Ahh, good to know. Thank you very much for that bit of info.

Hey I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm not much of a TV person myself, but have found myself in the market for one. You see, now that both of my parents are retired, they spend a decent amount of time watching. Problem is, they've been watching the same set they bought back...

I'm not really sure how relevant the comments regarding composition are when making your decision. Provided there is room to move, your friend can compose his subjects however he pleases with either lens. Quote: Originally Posted by Arainach The 50mm has a 7-bladed diaphragm that...

Oh def. They made a good deal of a difference. It certainly changed the tone of the audio. My old cabling was gold I believe, where as this is silver. I've read a bit where this can make a difference, so that what I attribute the changes to. I love the new sound.

I'm using a pair of Blue Jean Cables Canare Star Quad Balanced cables. I've been preferring optically actually. It's what I've been using. Oh well, I'll live I guess.

Quote: Originally Posted by warrior05 As for your noise issue. I believe I mentioned this before - my BX5s have the same characteristic in regards to standing noise. But, the difference is with mine - it doesn't get louder when audio cables are plugged in. My point being, you'll never...

Oh man.... My cables arrived today. The SQ is nice, but it def didn't fix my noise issues :-/

ok, cool. Thats what I figured.

I've been reading them.... your point?

You know, I'm curious about this too. I'm still waiting on cables to be able to listen to mine. Should be here by the end of the week It would be nice to have a frame of reference to the quality I discover.
