| Has Anybody Else Heard These? I have the Tribe Tower's little cousin, the Arro tower. One. single 4" driver with a tweeter. There is bass down to 40 Hz, I could not believe what I was hearing. The bass is because Totem has perfected the speaker cabinet with a hand made des... | |
| Silver cables added resolution Silver has a superior conductivity over copper, just a scientific fact. This can have an effect on the end result, depending on how revealing the rest of the system is. Added resolution is just the result of doing less harm to the original signal... | |
| Adcom 565 vs Emotiva xpa-1 Deciding what pair of mono block for a Biamp- lowend situationCrossover at 200hz, 90 db efficiency. Tube monblock Highs.The Adcoms are decent as I loaned out a pair years ago and put them side by side with a Krell Ksa250 driving B$w 801#3. Only... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience It’s in the name, emotion, emotiva. I’ve always thought it was a weird name. What, are the emo fanboys gonna hate on me now? Time to grow up... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience If this would have happened to me, I would have been similarly unimpressed. It's obvious that Emotiva needs to tighten up their procedures at the warehouse, or demote someone. Whoever returned a unit with chocolate all over the remote should fac... | |
| Integrate for Totem Sky I can say that I had the Skys connected to a 200 wpc Adcom amp. I played a variety of music and turned it up to the point where the drivers were really demonstrating their long throw abilities. And they can put out some pretty decent bass for the... | |
| Integrate for Totem Sky I think, however, that the Totem Sky came out several years after the Amber was retired. The Sky is also a departure from the approach to Totem's previous generation of speakers, like The One, Arro, Hawk, Forest and Rainmaker.It may be wonderful ... | |
| Emotiva MC-700 audio imaging Rasiahm, to get good imaging and instrument placement out of a multichannel preamp is not easy. First off, most music is based on 2 channels, right and left.most budget avr preamps have just too many compromises which degrade the signal in the an... | |
| 16 years of the same system, time for change? Good news indeed. Decent quality gear will still sound good after 25 years or more, as long as it’s not abused. You don’t sound like the abusive type.There is one area that has experienced a revolution though, since 2004 or so. Loudspeakers. B... | |
| best recommendations Wow brother, the post is pretty mixed up. You've repeated the message within the post several times. Let me try to dissect it for you.For sources, you have:Panny blu ray player (8K)Playstation 5Latest XboxAudio Technica turntableFor speakers, yo... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? Bang for buck. Would have to be the Schiit Audio Modi Multibit. Dac bliss that beats all of the Chinese Toppings, etc. that are made in China and still cost more than the Modi. | |
| 16 years of the same system, time for change? Depends on what the OP has now, and whether the sound has been superseded by current offerings at or below a certain outlay of cash.If the OP has top of the line gear that cost $20K plus, probably not. However, cables get old and oxidization in t... | |
| Using Schiit Loki to reduce digital glare But then on the other hand, old dacs can be highly regarded, and the sound highly sought after. Either way, the Loki is a great way to tweak the sound.You can get new life out of speakers, dacs, or whatever else. | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year This thread is funny. I'm quite sure for 90% of the contrary responders of one thing. Had one of the components in their system been named to Stereophile's product of the year list, they most certainly would not have come onto a similar thread a... | |
| Please help. Why would higher power amp require gain? Marantz/Adcom The only caveat being that the rear channels have less information than the front channels, and may be closer to the seating position. Both items would serve to reduce demand on those rear channel outputs over having the 555 amp driving front cha... |
