| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? OH, BTW to everyone else. I have a pair of Infinity RS-1 which I plugged into the system. Since I have the 2 subs, I figured it may give me an idea concerning my question. So I took the Silverline Sonatas our of the path and put the RS-1 in. I wa... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @b_limo The upshot may be that I build a room for me. I was going to do that 10 or so years ago. Now, maybe I can do that albeit a little smaller than the one from then. This will expand my office into a nice size music room 11 x 21 (will be the g... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Wow!! Talk about feeling out of place. I never have wanted to build electronics nor work with anyone who did. I respect them and their work. But my focus is solely on the music itself. For me, music is not a hobby but a lifestyle. I love listening... | |
| Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier Still, I would think a lot of guys would want that kind of power for such a low price). And that one myth has probably been the downfall of many systems. In the "golden days" (whenever that was 60'-70's )high powered amps were not readily avail... | |
| Power Amplifiers I recently pulled our my Harmon Kardon 730 twin powered receiver to use in office. I bought this along with the Original large Advent speakers in 1978. I used it up until the late 90's. When I first turned it on and heard the full sound of this a... | |
| Such hard decisions :D Anyone with some insight on Amp Selection? Welcome. Maybe the best thing is to decide your goals. Is it just power you want? Or do you want good sound with it? The biggest problem with trying to mix so much equipment together is that you generally end up with a mess. Too many pieces cause... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @hilde45Thanks for the link. they look interesting. My biggest problem with some is their inefficient specs IE 84-85db efficiency. There are a couple I could drive though. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? Thanks @b_limo . Yes the Watkins are pretty good. I've heard them and was shocked at how deep they go and the natural sound they exhibit. I think you have some valid & good ideas. And $1250 for the S% is a steal. Mine are actually Sumiko S-10'... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @newbee The SR-17's are legendary and hard to come by. Even with those, will they fill out the soundstage with full size figures?@mapman Yep. It does come down to that. I must kick myself for NOT doing the room when there was opportunity. Oh wel... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @rockadannyShe’s put up with my music system in the LR for 45 yrs now so I guess I can keep things as they are. But it would be nice to give her a room for "pretty" So this is far from a new experience for her or me. I have Silverline Sonatas now ... | |
| Subwoofer help needed I’ve had Rel for years. They do much more than just augment bass. They make the main speakers image much larger than they do without the sub. This is why I chose 2 Sumiko S-10 which is a Rel clone of the S-5. Sumiko was the distributor of Rel for ... | |
| StylusTimer @tablejockey The shipping on one of those was $12. With tax, shipping etc, $16.08. Not much less than the OP's link | |
| StylusTimer On an Index card I make a Roman numeral mark for every album side. 20 minutes per sid. Total divided by 3 is the hours. Not exact. But its closer than the hrs shown on my lawn tractor. I forgot to turn off ignition and it now shows 60-70 more hrs ... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) @millercarbonI looked at the Raven Blackheart & Osprey. Looks enticing. Used are hard to find. Then too, they have a return policy. It could be in my price range If it was better than the CT-5 plus whatever amp. I know people are drifting towa... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) @tomic601 I have considered the RM-10 and the CJ Classic 60se. AAMOF, I think I've looked at every tubed amp that is 60-75wpc. Carver 275, various Cary's, I've also considered a custom ST-120 (Big bro of ST-70. Don Sachs has put one together wit... |
