| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Mrmb, thanks. The foam that I got, and I should have been more clear, is not the cream colored rubbery stuff that one puts on mattresses. It is acoustical foam (polyurethane or polypropylene?) sold specifically to reduce hard surface reflections. ... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Mrmb, I decided not to try the felt; the egg crate design foam seemed to more closely resemble the material used in anachoic chambers that I've seen. Also, felt actually seems like a fairly hard material, now that I've looked at it, and it may be ... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Jcharvet, I bought some egg crate design open cell foam and cut two panels from it to match the dimensions of the transducer panels of the Odysseys. i had my wife and a grandson hold these panels about ten inches behind the speakers and started li... | |
| Age Related Hearing problems and hearing aids Samhar, there are probably several brands that are just as good, maybe better, available but mine are made by a company called Starkey. My research re cost is that aids are selling for between 4 and $7000. In order to get an idea of how I would ha... | |
| Age Related Hearing problems and hearing aids I'm back with more info. I just came home after having a newer more sophisticated pair of aids fitted and adjusted to my audiogram. Because the adjustment is through a wireless connection, one can hear the effects of these adjustments as they are ... | |
| Age Related Hearing problems and hearing aids Zd545, I don't often have an opportunity to listen to live music except when the grandsons are showing off their keyboard or guitar accomplishments but, yes, live music can have similar problems, especially piano. Csontos, I was also concerned tha... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Thanks. Even though we could attempt matching our room decor, because a lot of time and money went into finishing this room to our tastes, we really don't want to hang anything on that wall. I do, however want to experiment with dampening as you m... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Jcharvet, thanks for this advice. Even though I've used dipoles for so many years I've never tried this, primarily because my listening room is my living room and we were concerned with how it would look. In the past several years, though, I've be... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Newbee, thanks again for your input. Yes, the Odysseys are somewhat of a setup challenge, an issue that I've dealt with for over 30 yrs. During that time I've used Acoustat, Martin Logan and Magnepan. Maybe it's because of the curvilinear design o... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Dweller, I'm not that well versed on audiophile terminology so I can only attempt to describe my issues using terms that I hope will make my point. I'm not trying to "remove" soundstage; I'm simply trying not to add apparent room filling sound whe... | |
| Genesis APM-1 subwoofer substitute Jorge, thanks very much for the offer. I'd be willing to pay whatever your price may be. I have been to every site that even hinted about info for these speakers. The owner is asking $1000 which seems fair even though one of the woofer servos is n... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Yes, electrostats are also dipoles but I'm having difficulty with definitions that I've recently read in regard to dipoles in general. Descriptions are not all exactly the same but the things that seem consistent across the board are that the desi... | |
| Stereo or monaural for solo instruments To begin with I didn't mean to imply that I thought that my music sounded better in mono; as a matter of fact, I even said I thought something was missing in mono mode. I like what Hevac says. If music is recorded in mono one should listen to it t... | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. Thanks again. I'm not seeing anyone for treatment as the two specialists that I saw (an audiologist and an otolaryngologist ) basically said that the treatment for either tinnitus or hyperacusis is learning tricks to deal with the condition. Both ... | |
| Speaker placement for brightness control. These responses are very much appreciated and I will attempt to explain further what I have done. To begin with, my present setup consists of a Shanling S100 solid state CD player, California Audio Labs tube DAC, Rogue Audio Shinx hybrid amp, and ... |
