| A Bass Question A 20 Hz wavelenth according to this webside http://www.mcsquared.com/wavelength.htm is 56.5' so I am not sure how you arrived at 27.5'. My own room measures only 13' and I have speakers which go down to 33Hz and a sub which goes down to 10 Hz (-3d... | |
| What Volume do you listen at? With classical music the correct volume is when you can hear the softest passages. I have left my volume control here and never change it no matter what music I play. So with some music like Jazz, Rock, Pop it does sound louder than usual but acco... | |
| subs and small room Tobias,Its not frequency doubling that occur with room modes but amplitude doubling or cancellation i.e peaks and dips.Duke,Multiple subs would only work in a large room. In a small room this would only create nodes (peaks/dips) at mid-bass and hi... | |
| subs and small room The first thing you need to determine is how low your sub is going to operate. Room modes occur higher 80-200 (mid-bass) region in smaller rooms. Check the internet on how to determine where room modes occur based on the distance between two walls... | |
| EFFICIENCY I have driven my Thiel 2.4 (87dB/M) to pretty loud levels with a 130W amp and you have a 190W amp. So there is really no issue with regards to not having enough power for either speaker except for the 2.3 Ohms impedence with the CS6. | |
| Room Acoustics Try Cork Wall tiles.However the objective of room treatment is never to sound proof a room unless its a studio. The priorities are the reflection points and corners. Lots of information available on the net. see www.rivesaudio.com on room treatment. | |
| EFFICIENCY You should find out what the lowest and nominal impedance is for each of these speakers and that your amp is stable at this minimum impedance. Typically good quality amps are at least 2 Ohms stable. If your speaker dips below the amps impedance li... | |
| Bass--How much is too much? If you listen to a live band in a club and you will notice there are lots of highs as in crashing cymbals and lots of lows as in bass guitar + bass drum. As long as there is a balance its perfectly OK even though it is very loud. There is too much... | |
| whistling in the ears I am no doctor but I think either your ear wax has thinned exposing part of your eardrum or your eardrum has a hole hence the whistling. So go see a real doctor. | |
| Replacing my Arcam cd 23 with what?? I moved from an Arcam CD73 to Ayre CX7e. Give it a listen and decide. | |
| To tube, or not to tube, that is the question http://www.promitheusaudio.com/frontpage.htmlLook at using their TVCs or valve Preamps. | |
| Anybody Felt Lower-End ARC preamps Bass-Shy? Have you checked if the output impedence of the preamp e.g 100 Ohms is compatible to the input impedence of the power amp e.g 20 KOhms? Anything less than 200 (20000/100) can mean bass will suffer. ARC will normally state the minimum input impeden... | |
| Stereophile - MF Supercharger article-add 550W/ch. The supercharger increases the power of any 50 watt plus amplifier to over 550 watts rms so typical can't be used with low powered SETs. | |
| Determining reflection points Also:Using the mirror technique where you see the other speaker's tweeter on the side walls.Where each speaker's tweeter bounces of the rear wall to your ears at listening position | |
| CD player straight into amps? Not all CDPs/External DACs come with volume controls. Not all volume controls on these are of top quality either.Its easy to say no preamp is the best preamp but each system is different and you need to decide what works best for you.A friend of m... |
