| Unsettled and considering changing stuff I really would recommend trying some different tweeksto energize your system. Talk to Pierre at Mapleshade.My experience is that most of us have systems with a lotmore potential than we realize. | |
| Speaker Stands for Dunlavy SC-1A/V Mapleshade makes, what I believe to be, the finest standon the market. Reasonably priced as well. | |
| Speakers That Are Good Near Wall...But Not Corner? I have a room likewise with some interesting challengesas far as placement is concerned. I auditioned a number ofspeakers but was disappointed with the sound when broughtback closer to the back wall. To make a long story shortI wound up with a set... | |
| Why aren't all CDs created equally? I agree the above comments,but would add that there are some incredibly effective tweeks that may influence your thoughts on CD(s). I suppose that I've tried most of them over the years with the most dramatic results coming from the Mapleshade gro... | |
| Bi-wiring/Bi-amping...worth the fuss and expense? Longho68-That is a very good question. I spoke to John Dunlavy sometime back and he defintely supports the mono option. My personal experience has convinced me that the vertical bi-amping approach can have it's advantages. The real issuesdeal with... | |
| Bi-wiring/Bi-amping...worth the fuss and expense? I have the Dunlavy SC-5(s) and vertically bi-amp and, of course, bi-wire. This speaker design is very current hungry and equipment picky. There is a substantial difference indynamics and low bass performance I believe in the bi-amp arrangement. | |
| Maple, solid vs butcher block, vs other materials A 4" thick base from Mapleshade is the best I've come across. All of Mapleshades products really deliver. | |
| From tubes to solid state. What do you loose... What do you loose? Headaches, hassle and hernia(s). Just kidding. At the top, there's not a lot of difference between the two. At more realistic levels solid state designs tend to do bass better, while tubes typically give a terrific midrange. I, ... | |
| Which Silver Bi-wire Speaker cables? If you value tube type sonics you cannot go wrong withAudio Magic cables. This is particularly true of the Sorceror or higher models in their line. | |
| Overrated & Underrated In my view the most underrated musical classification is Contemporary Christian. I am consistently amazed at how much better sounding it is than standard pop recordings. There's even a positive message to boot. Go figure! | |
| how far from rear wall should proac response2.5 be I auditioned these some time ago in an audio shop. They were pulled out from the wall a good five feet from the rear and 3-4 feet from the side. They sounded great. I made them pull them back to what my wife would allow (about half that far) and t... | |
| Apogee centaur minor or Magnepan MMG I have a pair of the Apogee Centaur Minor speakers and have been quite pleased with the sonics albeit limited deep base.I matched it up with a powered sub from PSB and the combination has worked well. The one thing I have learned though, is to not... | |
| Experience with Audio Research SDP-1 Personally, I'd leave it alone. 5.1 + systems are great for video and 2 channel can take you all the way there for audio. The SDP-1 unit is akwardly in the middle. | |
| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound You really don't need to spend near that much to get excellent performance. May I suggest an Audio Research D200amp for around a $1,000.00 and then send it to Great Northern Sound for upgrades and 'shu-bang', reference performance for under $1,500... | |
| Speaker placement at dealers I think this hits a nerve with a lot of folks. Along with the other comments, I have also found that stores will also showcase their best speakers far into the room, well beyond the aesthetic limits that most people can live with. An example of th... |
