What is the difference in sound between an 80/20 and phosphor bronze please? And poly and nano web? Which is warmer, less bright?

Hi, These are great strings, if expensive, but they last and stay in tune. The 80/20 bronze nanoweb are brighter. See this link wihch compares each type e.g.80/20 Bronze with Polyweb is the warmest. The 80/20 Bronze with Nanoweb is the brightest. See http://www.elixirstrings.co.uk/products/product_acoustic.html

I use the XLEDIA - X60N - A19 - 9.4 Watt - 60 Watt Equivalent - 850 Lumens - Color Temp: 5000k. Since LEDs don't put out much heat I wouldn't think going to a higher watt equivalent would be an issue. I have very high ceilings so I wanted something bright like daylight so I went with the 5000k color temp and meets my needs but certainly not a soft white!

Kirk's recommendation of D'Addario Lights and Nanoweb Elixir Lights is a great one. Yamaha ships this guitar with light guage strings, but if you want a fuller sound you could go with medium guage. Thanks!

Hi. I have the slim par 56, and I love them. We run 8 of them for music performances, 4 on each side of the stage. Honestly, between the two, you are looking at brightness, because the slim size already takes care of portability and space issues. I would hesitate to use the 38s for our application, because there are times where I wish the 56s were brighter. If you are using them for ambient light and color rather than your sole source of illumination, I would think either one would be fine. Hope this helps!

Either strings will work just fine. I prefer the bronze strings as I feel the have a richer tone and sound

Using a Taylor 210, with the recommended 13's. I went back and forth with the 80/20s and Phosphor Bronze. I prefer the 80/20s Bronze. I think they are just a little clearer. The Phosphor Bronze sounds balanced and real good, but a little deeper. But it all boils down to what suits you.

Frostfire 16 LED is better. Mr. Beams is the best @ the same price but use batteries and light last longer after motion.. This one(frost fire) stopped working after a month. There are no options.

I've had the PB1000 for a few weeks now. For listening to music, you probably want the SB1000. I liked that the PB1000 gets down to 20Hz comfortably, but since I listen to music more than watch movies on my setup, I'm considering returning it for the SB1000.I should point out that it will depend on what kind of speakers you are using it with. I'm using it with some Orb Audio satellites, and in-ceiling speakers. For music, I'm definitely missing some of the mid/low bass because of this configuration. If you have some solid towers with 8-10" drivers to fill in that part of the spectrum, you'd likely be very happy with the PB1000. I've had the PB1000 for a few weeks now.

Good Question, it's probably 900 to 1500 ...I have them hooked up to a railing on my boat for spear fishing so It will be a few days before I go back to check the Lumens listed HOWEVER ...........do not go for the 50 watt ..it is no brighter than the 30 .. It's bigger , bulkier and heavier ... ....this 30 is pretty damn bright though ... ...get the bright white not the cool white ...they all come from the same manufacturer out of China I bought from two seperate retailers cool white ...bright white ...brights are slightly better ... ...and both sets are still working and very well ... I have 4 on the rail so my boat looks like a UFO ....one would be fine for a driveway or deck /pation ....my son was using one for the basketball hoop in our drive ...they played all night .. ....hope that helps

Hey! I use Paul C Buff "White Lightening" strobes. They are affordable and work amazing. They are also located in Nashville where I live so convenient! Great soft boxes! Follow me on Instagram if you want to see work with them! @C_TheLove

I tried this one and the 12 version and both were awful. For a few dollars more , the front firing 475 watt 12 in is way better. I ended up with that and the acoustech pl 200 is amazing for the money. Do yourself a favor and cough up the extra $175 and get pl 200. Its really worth it. The Polk is better of the two you asked about but no where in the same league as the pl 200.

Maybe a small amount. It's mostly due to the design and materials used in the strings. I've found that D'Addario strings tend to be bright. Phosphor bronze strings offer a rounder, warmer tone. 80/20 bronze offers a brighter, cleaner tone. The coated strings tend to be darker than plain strings of the same gauge and manufacturer.

I personally use Martin SPs lights. I find them reasonably easy playing and I like the sound. Mediums would sound louder but are harder to play. Martin makes a silk and steel string that is supposed to be easier to play than standard strings. They also have a new string out they call flexible core that bends easier and is also supposed to be easier on the fingers. I've not used either kind so couldn't say from personal experience, but I think they'd be worth a try, especially if ease of playing is your goal and not maximum volume. I find the lights are a nice compromise.

Steel optik looks better. It's a liitle darker than stainless steel. Polished nickel is similar to chrome.

Alien Bees B400, B800 or B1600. The higher the number, the more powerful the light. I use 800s in my small home studio but would have been fine with the 400s. However, the 800s will transfer nicely to a bigger studio in the future :)They are some of the best strobes and so soo sooo easy to use!
