Those flat foils are the worst speakerwires I`ve ever heard, thin and screamy. Want to know how your system really sounds? Make yourself some solid copper, about 9awg or 6kvmm and give it an hour on high-level massage to open up. Lift your jaw up and enjoy!
nordost red dawn: problem, please help
all you smart guys:
i have been running an arcam A80 integrated amp biamped with an arcam P80 amp using nordost blue heaven version 1, 4 metres set up for biamping. i have had no problems running the volume up to very high levels. i just installed a set of red dawn version 2, 3 metres terminated exactly the same.
with the red dawn, at about 75% power, the amp driving the bass will shut down. it will come back, but the volume must be lowered.
the speakers are aerial 6's. they are not too efficient at 86db and are power hungry.
i can't live with it this way. if i can't find an answer, i won't be able to keep this and i think it sounds better from what i can tell.
help please.
thanks in advance.
