| Do amps have a sweet spot? I think solid state amps, such as yours, do have better TDH+noise specs at something like 80% of the power rating.You might want to dig out some old AUDIO magazine when they still published test results, and you will see how the TDH+Noise varies w... | |
| Crossovers slope meanings Theta Pre-Pro???? roll -off -rate . Dunno what is wrong with my keyboard? :) | |
| Crossovers slope meanings Theta Pre-Pro???? Sometimes a "slope" is callED a roll-of-rate. Crossoversdon't provide (or behave) as a "stone wall" cutoff at the noted frequency, but rather they begin to dEminish (roll off) the frequency at that point. The units for slope or roll-of-rate are de... | |
| VMPS Speakers Co. Closes Down This is really too bad. I was just thinking of this branda few days ago and was going to call to find a dealer. I always like the looks of the giant FF-1s? but never even got a change to see (except for photos) or hear them. Too bad for all of us. | |
| possibility of refinishing speaker Only if you replace the surrounds with deep red ones, like the old Cerwin-Vegas, then you will have a nice looker!I consider doing something with the dust caps too. :) | |
| Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012 I had to give up my Sound LAbs two years ago and am still in audio depression and withdrawls.Tradional speakers are just that, "traditional", and all, imo sound like crap compaired to giant FULL RANGE electostats with the CORRECT amps. | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC The industry has gone back and forth on what is best. In the early 90s, the outboard DAC was "the best". The by the late 90s, sperate DACs kind of died off. The by the mid 00s, they made a comeback, but a much higher price.This gets way too techin... | |
| Is it too much to ask.... "After all, isn't the *most* inmportant spec. how much the amp delivers?"From a marketing standpoint, but it really does not say much about sound or build quality or how it will mate with your intended speakers.Really, anytime I see something inte... | |
| Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift Actually, in the late 80s, I bought a Phillps FA-80? Integrated amp (remember at the time Phillps was goingto make a run at the US high-end market :) )I think this was like 20W in Class A mode and more in AB.The amp had NO (i mean zero) bass. i fi... | |
| Now that my amp's blown... Is CAD Canada dollars?If so, you can maybe fine a used ampsfrom Classe (made in Canada). You mightbe able to find a low power versionfor that amount? Great choice for buildquality and sounds okay too. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I would like to hear the new amp offerings from Harman before making any judgements, but I cant help believe that the MLevision line has just become an insane overpriced toyfor people that need to have a certain brand name in the living room. I ha... | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Some amps make a big difference to your bank account, but dovery little to improve the sound. It is really important to pick the right amp for your speakers, so in that view, it can make a hugh difference. Dont confuse this with spending more mone... | |
| Tube Cage On or Off. Does it Make any Difference? Sometimes a tube cage is called a Faraday cage, but only by those that had college level physics. If the cage is metal and grounded to the chassis, it WILL act to block RFI from getting into the circuts, other than that, i see no reason why the so... | |
| Why do some volume controls start at -80db or..? So, you are not really turing the sound UP, you are turning it LESS DOWN? | |
