| Whats playing on your system today? playing a band Gotthard, swedins rock band. 5 cd set for 11$ good tunes, some weak filler, but not bad for the price. also bought the Leslie West 5 cd on 3 discs. good stuff, good audio quality | |
| How does a speaker blow out? using low powered amps, and your want volume, but the little amp is asked to push more power than available, as mentioned sends DC to tweeter, mid, and heat destroys the coil, driver, etc. NEVER any issues with my high powered amps, just be caref... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps All upgrades still available for the the dna750 monos. LD-2 ? not for the UDP-1? | |
| Purpose of power handling in the specs? My speakers are rated at a measly 250 rms Peak I believe, and are powered by 650-700 watt rms monos at 8 ohms, the open airy, non fatiguing sound is from the massive headroom, and the amps barely or. Not strained at all during playback. I lov... | |
| Purpose of power handling in the specs? Be careful, tweeters and midranges get burnt out quick from under powering. Watch the vol knob, and listen for breakup in the highs and minds. Don’t take much to fry a tweeter or mid coil | |

| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? I doubt you will hear a difference. But if you will feel better, and want bragging rights, buy a couple 8 ga PC’s. so, you have 8ga from your box :) to outlets,?…..I would probably grab a medium cost 8ga cords, more money does not mean 10x bet... | |
| Upgrade to a better server. Ideas? Bryston CD player. | |
| What characteristics do you listen for when purchasing amps/preamps ? Depth of the bass and kick drum, it does go nice and low. For smallish drivers, the bass is surprisingly very good, one speaker sits 4-5 feet from a corner, left speaker is next to where stairs are, bedrooms, hallway, bass is just a wee light on t... | |
