| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Hi Gmood,Are you using Martin King's Brines Acoustics FTA-2000 speakers or your own design? I've heard really great things about them.When it comes to single-drivers, there is always a tradeoff - highs & lows for great mids, highs & mids f... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Nice thread, and something I've been thinking/exprimenting a lot with lately. There is a sonic coherence to single driver sound that is very, very, hard to match with multidriver systems having crossovers in the critical range. Not impossible, but... | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Where's Chiggy when we need him? Chirag's got both and would have some good insight. He's the one who turned me onto the Museatex units. When I asked his opinion back in July, he said "the bitstream is close. just a slightly different flavor. bida... | |

| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? Hi Doug,Thought about the IMs and have had second thoughts more than once...Aaaah, speaker envy, it's a terrible disease.

| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? Hey Leroy,At 95dB, your Axiom's give you a pretty wide open choice of output tubes. My C&C IM-Bens are also 95dB and I found the 7 wpc of my Welborne DRD's(monoblocks) to be more than enough for all forms of music, including the heaviest of ha... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC Hi Lush,That's great you his transport, you know it's in great shape. I kind of took a big risk with mine since John said they can't be fixed if anything goes wrong. So far, so good, though.I'd love to have a Moray cable, but that $350 is a little... | |
| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? It depends on your musical tastes, room size, volume level, and a few other things. It also depends on what type of tube sound you are looking for - lush and velvetey or more neutral.A few that I can recommed right off the bat - Almarro A205A(5 wp... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC Hi Guys,I bought a Bitstream dac updated to 2005 Data II specs w/ Black Gates and extra power supply mods a few months ago.

| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Skushino - Audio Physics advises against subs in-line w/ mains. (see bottom of page)"If you encounter any problems with this set-up, you may consider adding a subwoofer, which should not be placed in line with the speakers." | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Skushino, I tried the subs in-line w/ mains....I made sure they were both exactly the same distance from the front wall, then tried them outside and inside of the mains - near wall, away from wall.Between the mains, things started to open up and d... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? SirSpeedy, addictions are tough to kick...You've got to ween yourself down a little at a time - cold turkey can kill ya'.I've been slowly walking myself down the crossover point and volume range steadily. Surprisingly, the difference is increadibl... |
