| have only speaker level out to sub ... svs micro3000? Yep, I contacted them and they were quickly responsive and suggested a Russound speaker-level to line-level converter and told me it would not affect the performance of the sub in any way. The converter is available through Crutchfield for less t... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? I'd say try it! It wouldn't be that expensive to try. After all, full range speakers have woofer, mid, tweeter all in one box... | |
| Is simpler better? @corelli +1 I concur. Simpler generally more time and less effort to actually appreciate what one has. as a side note: It also can have benefits to acoustic design; for example, adding more and more drivers to a speaker does not lead to bette... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? I own the Heresy IV from the Heritage line... definitely hi-fi. Startling in a good way, engaging, non-fatiguing... captivating and addictive. In a bigger room, I'd go for the Forte IV or the Cornwalls. | |
| concrete (cinder) block tower with wood chopping block for turntable stand should be fine. add some iso-acoustics isolators if you need to, or continue in the diy mode and place a simple cush-pad under the turntable like is used for floors... you can buy a couple feet off a roll at home depot, it's grey rubbery material... | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables I don't now what JB71 is. The companies don't add "boutique" cables because the engineers know that they will not improve the stated capabilities of the products as designed. | |
| Quick Question About Power Cables Why would a high-end company sell you a product with a cord that compromises the product's capabilities? "To save money"...? No, if the company thought that putting a $200 power cable on would "increase the bass slam" or any such thing, they'd d... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? When they sound great to you, in your system, to your ears, in your home. | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? btw, I have never had an equalizer help the sound of my speakers... I’ve tried numerous times. At most, I’ve used the bass/treble control, and that quite subtly. Select the speakers that can stand on their own and avoid the extra peripheral. That... | |

| Do my ears deceive me?? I like Waytoomuchstuff's idea ^ about the crossovers. I did that very thing with my old Epi 100 speakers... brought 'em right to life again. Xover parts can age. @fenderu2 They're not $6000, but if you add a nice sub from SVS, perhaps their ... | |
| Do my ears deceive me?? once they're fixed... THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SPEAKERS...! You have good gear that you love. Keep it, cherish it, nurture it. Be happy you have a sound that's great for your ears. I'm right with you: I recently did some auditioning... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ll do it again... I went through a vintage phase a couple years ago, got a Marantz, Harman Kardon, and Pioneer receiver. All of them had been professionally recapped and tuned... All of them were pretty to look at... | |
| High end speakers at low volume Over the decades, my modest and modestly efficient Epi 100 have never disappointed me at low volumes; they still sound as rich and clear and compelling. Also, have never needed to use loudness control nor tone controls even. Lately, the Klipsch... | |
