| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? Yeah. Don't.Nonsense. Or maybe true if you are using a cheap switch. Niles, anyone?A good selector switch is really a set of time adjusted relays that have little or no effect on the signal pass through them. I own and have used a Luxman AS-50R ... | |
| McIntosh, your experience? whatjd, you really haven't given us with enough information to provide you with a useful answer. McIntosh is a manufacturer who has been in business for a long time. They have made a variety of gear in all types. Are you interested in new mac gear... | |
| Any NEAT love here? Comparing mini stand mount speakers.... Which model Neat speakers are you interested in? And are you planning to place them on a long or short wall? | |
| What the heck do these terms mean? Think of the treble as Brylcreem vs Vitalis@isochronism Thanks, lol. I don't think the under 60 crown (either of you) will get it. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? OK all, I'm officially tired of this thread. I would like to thank jea48 for his gentlemanly responses and his attitude. Jeff, I really wish I could understand which side of a question you are arguing after reading your posts. But I guess that's w... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 Jim, I really do appreciate your thoughtful answer. I'm not the smartest guy in the world (you heard it here first) but I am pretty well educated in math, physics, chemistry and metallurgy. Every explanation I have heard of signal direction... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 What's the point of linking back to this very thread? I have asked you twice to please explain to me how signal directionality happens or is possible in a passive cable. All you have done is ask me to re-read the yours and others opinions o... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? The signal energy travels down the cables in one direction >>>> from the source to the load, (amp to speakers), in the form of an electromagnetic wave. @jea48 dude, you really might want to take a remedial physics class. I will ask ... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? You guys are hilarious. Speaker cable directionality - it IS possible to intentionally design and construct a "directional cable", but not as a passive device. Think about it: does your directional cable possess differing impedance in either direc... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @baranyi Yes, that is true. It's especially challenging in that the boss asked me to reduce the amount of audio gear visible in the living room. She might as well have asked me to remove a leg. I can do it, but why???Anyway, I found a great deal o... | |
| Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers I always recommend omnidirectional speakers for small and problematic rooms. Speakers featuring off-axis drivers work with the room better and off-axis reflections make the room sound larger. An additional benefit is that many of these speakers pr... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere I have not heard the Classic audio speakers in years and I couldn't describe their sound accurately now. I do remember them being very good horn speakers.I have had some Sound Labs in for an extended period when I had my dealership. Go... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @atmasphere: If you have a means of designing a speaker to favor a certain genre of music, its likely that you also have derived a new branch of physics. Ralph, I believe I agreed with you in my last post regarding speaker design.I will simply sa... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. douglas_schroeder said:In reality a speaker is either good on all genres of music or it is not a good speaker.atmasphere said: This is arguably the biggest myth about loudspeakers in particular- that they favor certain genres, the classic bein... | |
| Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post I love Luxman gear but I wanted an integrated amp that could drive my stupidly inefficient (down to 2Ω) Shahinian Obelisks. I also prefer tube preamps and balanced inputs. I found a clean, used BAT VK-300x (6922 tube version) for a song on fleabay... |
