| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Thanks for explaining Jtgofish,***So by comparison the Lowthers are cold.The Fostex are colder still.I have also used a Coral 10 inch which I rate ahead of the Fostex....I listen to a lot of acoustic roots music in which much of the substance is b... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Jtgofish,I don't know which single-drivers you have listened to, but as Herman has mentioned, my Cain & Cain I-Bens are anything BUT cold. And this is from a guy who loves a "slightly warm" sound ala Jean Marie Reynaud speakers which I owned f... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Audiocircle is good, but the Fullrange Driver Forum is all fullrange, all the time. You name, they've done it. Doubt you can find more collective experience anywhere on the web.If you can't find a Cain & Cain dealer near you, try shooting Terr... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Whooeeee!!! A small, completly empty, room with bare walls. Gotta be some nasty reflections, peaks, and nulls going on. No wonder things get congested at higher volumes!Before you switch speakers, amps, or whatever, try some acoustic room treatmen... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Hey Eldartford,I don't have a spectrum analyser, but I do have a couple of SPL meters along with white noise/test tone cd's, could I simply check for the notch that way? | |
| Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what? Hi Doug,One of many little pearls of wisdom that get dropped around here from time to time. In all honesty, without that tip, I probaly would have sold off my Fuji FS and considered all the ZYX talk as hype. Now, I'm happy as a clam, but looking t... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Hi Rwwear,Thanks for bringing up that very important point, mini-monitors and a subwoofer would be a perfect example. | |
| Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what? Not to beat the drum to death, but ZYX & Mehran - can't do any better than that. He is, first and foremost, a fantastic person to interact with. Simply a guy with tremendous enthusiasm for this hobby. Second, he truly tries as hard as possible... | |
| Subwoofer Phase The phase control on your subwoofer crossover is to help make sure that your subs and main speakers are "in phase"(obviously). That simply means that your sub & main drivers will be moving in the same direction at the same time - in and out. S... | |
| Whic speaker sensitivity is better for an SET amp? Dsiggia,You are absolutely fine with either speaker as long the impedence doesn't swing or dip wildly as Mahandave mentioned. Obviously, the higher the sensitivity the better for dynamics and extra headroom with an amp, but I have two sets of 97dB... | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. Hi KT-88,I'm nowhere near an expert(or even novice) on power amp output, but 24 wpc 300B PP is really pushing the envelope for the standard type tubes. Although, great companies like Canary and Manly Labs(as I linked to) probably pull it off with ... | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. I actually have spent a bit of time listening to Meadowlark Kestrel HotRods being driven by a 300B Cary 300SEI integrated SET amp about 5 years ago. The sound was very warm, smooth, and engaging. A bit soft on the top and bottom ends, but I later ... | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. Hi KT_88,You've never stated whether you are interested in a SET or PP amp and the type of speakers you have. Unfortunately, there is such a big difference in power output between the 300B & 6C33C-B (both SET & PP) that under 94dB and a fa... | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. The 6C33C-B performed flawlessly in my A318B over the 4 months or so. Bias was rock steady without any hiccups. I had 3 Sets of tues and none gave me any problems.The early prototype A318A was another story altogether, though. | |
| 6C33-B vs everything else. Hi KT-88,I had Almarro A318A & A318B integrated SET amps for about 4 months recently. Both use 6SL7 and 6SN7 input and driver tubes to drive the 6C33C-B output tube. The rated output is 18 wpc.For comparison, I also have an Art Audio PX-25 SET... |
