| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? Thanks Barts. Not sure why Y splitter necessitates bi-wire? Can you explain? Bi-wire to me is taking one output channel off of the amp and splitting it into two wires for the speaker inputs. I agree, this doesn't make much sense as to why ... | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? Interesting, trying to understand how this would work. Is this what you mean? -------------------------------------- 1. Don't do anything to the existing (built-in) crossover. 2. send a regular signal to the "high" speaker input. (So... | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? @avanti1960 Thanks, yes... sounds like more than I am looking to do at this time. The amps have been serviced/refurbished by an adcom specialist using new Hoppe boards. | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? There is/was an "alignment filter" but I don't have one. I have looked for one but they are apparently made of solid gold. How does one introduce an active crossover? I assume there is some hardware to add somewhere. | |
| Mixing XLR and RCA outputs when biamping? Thanks Eric, I had almost gotten to that point myself. These amps are also bridgeable, but most people don't recommend it. My speakers are 8ohm nominal, B&W 801S2. | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers Regarding the Adcom GFA-555 amps: @amtprod wrote: Is Jon Morris doing the refurbishment?! Yes, that is who I sent them to. He ordered boards and built them while I was getting ready to ship them. Between the weather hurdles and ev... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers Just and update, I founds some Arcici stands and am ordering some herbie’s dots and gliders before installing. The stands are about 45# (shipping was more than the stands) and I think the speakers are over 100#, so I am waiting on the dots to asse... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers I think the stands are made by Arcici. | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers I found a set of speaker stands, they weigh 40# each and are designed in two pieces to fill bottom with sand. Does anyone know anything about these? They were commercially made as I have seen several of them over the years. Good constructi... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers The floor is vinyl that looks like wood on a concrete slab. | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers The main room is 28x32, with the speakers on the 32' wall. However, there is another 14x28 (open) space/room at the rear of this room, so it is a lazy "L" with one wall being 56'. There is no other wall where the speakers could be located. | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers @mswale - thanks for your post. I think the room is driving the issues, but the room is also what I want. I rarely sit down to listen to music, as much as I would like to. I spend my days working in and around this space. My quality... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers @robert53 - Yes, the stock power cord on the amp. @porchlight1 - I have heard about this filter, seems the reviews are mixed... most say it improves bass but muds higher frequencies. Don't want to do anything to foul the existing clarity.... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers Regarding finding a mono signal to test my existing amp in bridged mode, it looks like this is easily accomplished with the minidsp 2x4hd. I have been thinking about getting one of these as it appears to also be a solution to my preamp/subout pr... | |
