Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
@asvjerry, Thanks for your post. Know what you mean about live shows. I volunteer at a Folk/Americana acoustic series. Vocals and acoustic instruments are always reinforced. Bagpipes were a recent exception! Soundman is in a rear corner, so he'll usually walk to center during soundcheck. After the initial tweaking, most of the soundcheck issues are getting the on-stage monitors right for the performers. But yes, most all shows, except classical, are augmented. I'm not such a purist that I won't consider EQ, and maybe moderate not over the top surround. Hence the interest in the Fosgate pre. And I do want a pre with tone controls. Or, I'll add the Schiit Loki. |
@canibefrank, Of course you can be Frank. "Consider for a moment any beauty in the name Ralph." I too am looking for a preamp. Yes the Freya has got some good recommendations here and elsewhere. But, I really want tone controls, and the soundstage control and extra outputs on the F360 are interesting. There's just not a lot of info or reviews out yet. I can't even find the manual. I would take Schiit over anything out of China. Check the UnderwoodHiFi Black Friday deals for the Black Ice. |
@canibefrank, Black Ice F360 - Here's a link with some show videos and some pages from the manual on the SSX, EQ, and rear speaker functions. https://hifiwigwam.com/forum/topic/132188-black-ice-audio-jolida-f360-vacuum-tube-preamplifier-valve... |
I wonder how many people think experimenting with speaker placement and volume matched multiple speakers is a bad idea have ever actually tried it? As I said previously been messing around for years and there are some truly great combos. (Yes I have SPL meters one pro and one old Radio Shack also can switch from my chair up to 7 pairs of speakers and any combination of pairs including running all seven pairs.) Have fun everyone, enjoy the music and gear in the new year! |
