| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? No....the formula you have provided is CUBIC feet. Square feet is the length of the room times its width and is a measure of the floor surface area. Length times width times height is cubic feet and is a measure of volume. | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? Provided that you do not use magnetic breakers (and I very much doubt that you would, unless you are thinking of installing your system in an airplane), neither breakers nor fuses should create any problems. I replaced my breaker when I created a ... | |
| Breaking in JM Lab Mini Utopia's??? Can't speak to the Mini Utopia but my experience with my own Mezzo Utopias is the same as cfb suggests--200 or so hours. The change was clearly apparent, not huge, and all for the better. Transitions became virtually undetectable and the whole sou... | |
| Odd shaped speakers I'm thinking of a full range folded horn design in the shape of the Edvard Munch "Scream" with a Lowther driver in the mouth and the the horn mouth emerging from the arse.This should afford some technical challenges while addressing both audiophil... | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? Brother Dearing, with all respect if you have a 1700ft2 room and you're having problems with boominess, you either need to work on placement or you need some serious acoustic treatment. I've heard Mahlers perform magnificently in rooms as small as... | |
| Odd shaped speakers And cables, cuz they look like spaghetti? And class A amps because they get as hot as frying pans? | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog You're right, Jimbo, it DOES sound strident and I wonder why? Mercy sakes, my friend, don't you READ what people write? I'll let pbb speak for himself but in my case I AM NOT ANALOG ADVERSE. I have been and will continue to be complimentary to and... | |
| Two quick questions about VMPS Thanks for the help. I've heard good things but, y'know, so many of our brethren and sistren here on the 'gon think if it don't cost a fortune it can't be no dam' good.I'll check out the old listings. Have also made arrangements to hear a VMPS sub... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Pbb, I, at least, know where you are coming from. Sold my vinyl, my Linn, my Koetsu, my Keith Monks, et alia, years ago. Put the money into equipment that was good enough to be highly listenable but not so costly that I wouldn't be willing to turn... | |
| Are more expensive speakers better? Thank goodness. I really didn't want to have to built it.The seriousness with which some of our members take these forums absolutely flabbergasts me. I have thus far received three private emails in which I have been told:1. Scanspeak does not man... | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Rhyno, you are a man of discernment, taste, and impeccable audio discrimination. I knew that the instant you revealed your fondness for Belles....I don't particularly support consolidation in the high end. It would discourage innovation and rob th... | |
| Cable dollar allocation Office hours by appointment in my home office. $165/hour; most major insurance accepted.And hey, Bob, while you are here, maybe we could listen to a pair of quattro fils that I picked up at a yard sale and you could tell me what you think. :) | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Yes, clueless, chocolate. REAL chocolate. Hershey is the Bose of chocolate. | |
| Upgrade Itch How much do you have to spend, what kind of music do you like, and what characteristics are you seeking in your speakers? If you don't want to spend a lot of money then one choice that jumps off the page at me in light of what you have now would b... | |
| Are more expensive speakers better? Dear Ddhpark,I will build for you the ultimate speaker system. It will consist of six 7-foot tall towers. Two will contain 8 (each)12" Scanspeak carbon-fiber woofers. Two will contain 6 (each) Lowther "full range" drivers brilliantly solving the n... |
