ERIC CLAPTON THRU NAD & FOCAL SYSTEM

[Rookie35m]

sing to Cocaine melody..

If you like your bass thick.. then you wanna listen to................ this-vid...... deer neer neer nert, neert nearrr. Did you have your thumb over the microphone? just playin, Focals rock.

[electrotech555]

Gotta love nad, gotta love Eric Clapton's hit, "Cocaine"! Expect my friend request, audiophile grade audio equipment is the best :)

[Pallemandification]

Way to much bass!!!

[Styropor08]

I've just bought a pair of Focal Chorus speakers and they're amazing, they're absolutely worth the price.

[skywalker111988]

the sub is killing the vocals or the acoustics resulting in loss of natural sound

if those r near field speakers should remove the sub

[derbigpr500]

@skywalker111988 It probably sounds like that because of shitty camera mic...

[TheBrettlord]

Oh my god, six months after licencie july 2009.You have the money to make a clip débile.Quels kind of person are you?

[Nirvalica]

I'd turn the sub down... Sounds clean though.

[shak541]

very nice system! :D

[romashka2140]

What is the name of the song?

Tell please!!!

[pandstar]

That is some horrible speaker placement.

No way the frequency balance can be correct, and being that close to the walls has to just destroy any possibility of an image & soundstage.

At least get some Owens Corning R703 behind the speakers and on the side walls to give them a chance of imaging...

[ziherr]

sounds very bas heavy..

[metalicpsp]

hes right next to the sub and the speakers are right in the corner of the wall so it kinda reverberates.

[Acadianiste]

Hey... where is your NAD tape deck? get one! lol.

[fiftyfourj]

you have a sub on the floor

[ninjabluewings]

Hmmmmmmmmmm! Sounding MIGHTY FINE! Nice Thumping Bass But CLEAR! That's Something You Don't Hear Very Often

[Pedro4k]

Of course, you are speaking of your computer speakers...

[ninjabluewings]

Well Yes Of Course But Even Through These You Can Tell If The Original Sound Is Good Or Bad

[Pedro4k]

There is no fucking way in hell you can tell how they sound through youtube. You're listneing to YOUR speakers, recorded using a cheap microphone in a cheap camcorder... so you can not tell the difference between these any other spekaers... unless YOUR speakers sound like shit to begin with.

[ninjabluewings]

Hey Chill Out, There's No Need To Get In A Lather About It, Think About It Like This...If These Speakers Sounded Thin & Tinny You Would Be Able To Hear That, If They Sounded Muffled You Would Be Able To Hear That Too Wheather It Was Coming Through A Cheap Microphone Or Not. Please Don't Talk About What Ya Don't Know About I Am A Professional Sound Yechnican Of The Past 14 Years So Bow Down Matey

[Pedro4k]

btw,

These focal speakers are decent speakers, but this is totally ridiculous to say they sound good when what you are hearing is coming out of a youtube clip recorded from a freakin crappy camcorder mic. Oh, but you're a so called "professional". whatever...

[Pedro4k]

one last thing, u r a totally idiot because any speaker with a 5 inch woofer or larger will sound just the same here on youtube as long as you play the same song, with the same camcorder recording, and played at any volume from 65 dBs on up until the speakers distort or the mic on the cam can't record it without distorting the sound. so, you are an idiot

[ninjabluewings]

All I Have To Say Is BARA NIKE! Ok? And I'm Not An Idiot, Ask The Hundreds Of People That Have Told Me How Good My Ear Is At Live Sound Mixing, This Is One Argument You Ain't Gonna Win So Go Away And Talk Nonesense To Someone Else Coz I'm Not Interested Anymore Ok! END OF DISCUSSION!

[Gtrplyr1]

i agree. although the camcorder mic sux, a trained ear can decipher whats good or whats bad... i to am a professional audio engineer :)

Focal studio monitors are very good as well.

[izpuuteejs]

Nice!

I have NAD C545/355BEE combo & Focal Chorus 807 V .

[linzz82]

I've got exactly the same speakers/colour too i'm running mine off a marantz 6010ose only rated at 50w they sound fantastic. Personaly i'd run them only with the SW908 sub though. Prob degrading the sound using another brand of sub like that

[computertom90]

very nice ;) love it 5 stars

[douwepieter]

i agree turn off the sub!!

[terminator85]

turn of the sub

[petrunic1]

weird positioning of the speakers.. and a sub is not needed..but nice setup!  for a reasonable price..maybe the best you can buy

[Goodair05]

no, it's a good system but bang & olufsun is mystifyingly good quality - but so expensive

[svtcontour]

Nice setup. I'm sure it sounds really great :)

[Laofse]

Nice setup you got there.

[23chilled]

nice setup. Just changed my amp to a NAD 3155 from 1985 which is damn incredible. Makes my Pioneer sound little silly well ott and the Pioneer costs a stupid amount compared. Ive had newer nad amps like the c370 & c340 they sounded pretty good but they both broke down, very bad build quality. Maybe they have got better like the one you got. But it has put me off buying new amps when i know how good the old stuff was. Like the legendary 3020 which my dad owns

[driftx2]

turn down ur sub man its too boomy

[Stereophile11]

I just got Rega R5 speakers, Naim Nait5i and rega apollo

[arovax]

Ok! Perfect!

Thanks!

[arovax]

Excuse me, what song is it??

Thanks!

[whengeton]

cocaine

[xkripsx]

@arovax -> Eric Clapton - Cocaine [Slowhand]

[arovax]

How watts have these speakers??

What is that subwoofer??

[whengeton]

the sub is a volodyne.

The Speakers are: FOCAL PROFILE 908 Frequency Response: 50hz to 30.5 khz Low Frequency point:45hz Sensitivity: 89db Nominal Impedance: 18 ohms Power Rating: 15 to 150 WATTS

[christopher4636]

Cos the Speakers are rated at 3 times the power of the amp!!! But NAD are well known for underating their amps. Yeah I kinda didn't write what I meant, I meant that the amp 'could' have lacked in dynamic power to get the speakers moving!!, but it didn't, as NAD rocks!!!

[whengeton]

YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!

[olanzip]

That sounds nice!! But you should put your cd player on top of the amp at least. As you will get more feedback.

Sorry to be a pain.

[whengeton]

(sorry to be a pain) no it's ok all comments are welcome. you are correct about your point.

[christopher4636]

more feedback?? what feedback, I'd put the amp on top allowing for better ventilation because the NAD 325Bee can get quite hot...

[christopher4636]

ooo, what amp is that?? is it the C325BEE?? and what are the power of your speakers, I'm trying to figure out if that amp is powerful enough for me

[whengeton]

yes this is the NAD C325BEE, THE AMP POWER RATE IS 50 WPC, BUT IT SOUNDS AS IF IT WAS 80

GOOD PWR, THESE FOCAL 908'S SPEAKERS ARE RATED AT 95WATTS THEY SOUND GREAT TO MY EARS.

[christopher4636]

oh right, thanks a lot for your help, I'm still considering that amp, or a slightly bigger one to drive a couple of little KEF cresta 10s. Enjoy your awsome set up.

Cheers mate.

[christopher4636]

I finally got round to getting the NAD 325bee, Tis an awsome amp and it sounds good to my ears too. It doesn't seem to have any problem driving my mordaunt short 906i's which are rated at 150w RMS.

[Mjbabycakes7072]

Why would the amp have problems driving a speaker because of the speakers power rating? Thats illogical thinking.
