| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Hey everyone, thanks for reviving this thread. :) Been busy with work and haven't had much time to spend on this hobby recently... I did spend some time tweaking the Audyssey curve, based on @mzkmxcv's advice... though I found that I didn't need ... | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Heard back from Marantz. Nice that they replied quickly, but otherwise no luck."Unfortunately, no. The 8802A didn't have the proper hardware to support that App. As far as any other Audyssey Apps for older models, I don't know of any. "There may b... | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Maybe I'll just tinker with the EQ manually, too... Looks like I might be able to "curve copy" to use the Audyssey EQ results as a starting point?I also emailed Marantz to see if they had any suggestions on further apps/adjustments. Thanks! | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Well that's quite interesting, @mzkmxcv!It looks like the Audyssey app doesn't work with the AV8802A though. :(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audyssey-multeq-editor-app/id1210584625?mt=8(Anyone know otherwise?) | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Thanks all. Reading a bit more about "forwardness" and "presence" it seems more like the 1khz to 3khz range tends to be related to what I’m talking about. So I really don’t think the issue is <60hz... and therefore probably not a subwoofer issu... | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Ha! And yep, after a bit more Googling, I see that I definitely used the wrong term. I'm looking to help improve presence, and help the system feel a bit more forward. | |
| Recommendations for improving visceral impact? Thanks Erik. I do have a couple of the GIK Bass traps (just two, one in the corner near the sub, the other in the opposite corner). And I don't think I can add any more traps or panels if I want to preserve my marriage....Interesting idea to set ... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? I finally had some time to upgrade the fuse today, and to spend some time listening before/after.I must admit, I was highly skeptical that a fuse could noticeably change things. But...I do think it’s an improvement! I’m not sure how much is pl... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? I had heard the fuses were directional, and was wondering about that, since the circuit board isn't marked. Good tip - thanks! | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? @auxinput - I do.And haven't received the fuse just yet...will report back once I have a chance to drop it in. I've also been talking with James at GIK Acoustics... working on a plan to add some absorption panels and bass traps. I'm optimistic tha... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Ah! Already ordered...Thanks for the shipping tip; I went with the cheaper shipping since I probably won't have time during the week to test out the fuse anyway. And next weekend will be all about replacing/building the new racks, which arrive on ... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Thanks for the detailed thoughts on all the fuses and power cables.I just ordered the Silverstar. :)I couldn't find any Pangea connectors on Parts Connexion... Are you thinking the AC 9 MK II ? http://www.pangeaaudio.com/products.htmlhttps://www... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Just came across this power cord on Parts Connexion... wondering if it might be a good choice for either the Rotel or the Marantz, especially since it's 10awg. Tried to find info on "Connex" cables but didn't turn up much.https://www.partsconnexio... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? And your points about coax vs. hdmi are duly noted.And yep, need to some work on acoustic panels. Thanks for pointing me to GIK. | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Ok, you've successfully twisted my arm about the fuse upgrade! I just opened up the Marantz and pulled the fuse, so I could figure out which to buy.Looks like it's the 5x20 size. The circuit board and the etching on the fuse are T2AL/250V... From... |
