| Bi amp configuration...a mismatch? These speakers are prime for bi-amping being 3-way designs. 1 amp for the woofer the other for the mid and tweeter. as long as the gain on the amps are the same go for it. i did this with some PSB tower speakers where the 80 watt 29db gain am... | |
| Best Alignment Protractor? Mint Best Tractor for me. Perfect and the most accurate on the market | |
| Rear speakers, generally of lesser quality? why not do a 9.4 system then? | |
| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track my friend had a pioneer home deck, it really sounded decent. continuous play was nice. still the format was totally flawed. 3 spontaneous interruptions per title when the head moved to the next track. bulky footprint and low density per minute... | |
| Cartridge setup experts: Azimuth critique the stylus will wear in and correct any minor azimuth errors mechanically. actual azimuth happens in the generator between coil and magnet alignment and affects channel balance and crosstalk. we adjust azimuth to equalize electrically even i... | |
| Rel T9i Output it depends on room size and where you measure from. they are more than adequate for music in medium rooms, two subs for medium large. My two subs measured flat at 25hz at the listening position and 90db was more than enough for me. | |
| Question to those believing in speaker break in There is no reason to go to extravagant measures when running in new speakers. When I get new speakers I follow the REL subwoofer break in procedure which is not really that severe or time consuming. It worked perfectly for my REL subs and speaker... | |
| Amplifier Recommendation for Spendor D9.2 Speakers if your room is large your mac may not be enough to energize the spendors. if your room is medium sized you can tube roll the small signal tubes and greatly improve the amps transparency and refinement. amp choice also depends on your preamp. my... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? I would also add Von Schweikert Endeavor E-3 to the list. VS makes my favorite sounding speakers but I cannot afford them. As for quibbles I am not a fan of ceramic drivers unless they are in Von Schweikert speakers. Another one on the list... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? My preference would be the Spendor D9.2. Clarity, refinement, superb imaging, efficiency and microdynamic speed. Best feature is a bottom firing flared port that has sub bass extension that mimics a transmission line. Of the ones on your li... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp @baylinor yes i had rel subs but they were high level speaker connections and i never noticed gain controls affecting sub output. | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs I had Harbeth SHL5+ with 2 RELT9i and the sound was very big and punchy. I am well versed in technical subwoofer integration and ultimately the best I could do still had compromises. A subtle but noticeable slowing down of the micro dynamics and... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp @couger4u i had the parasound a21+ for a while and found that the sound was best through balanced connections, gain on the SLP 05 at 50% and gain on the a21+ also at 50%. see if that helps | |
| LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander? Floorstanders. I had the LS50s and subwoofers and the issue was there was punch impact missing in the 80 to 100 hz range that sounds best covered by the main speaker. Also i have had subs in and out of several systems and even the best of th... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Congrats! The 05 is an amazing sounding preamp. Be sure to match it with lower gain power amps. Mine is here to stay! |
