| Upgrading Proceed Amp 5 to Cary Cinema 5???? It depends on how important HDMI and lossless codecs are to you. From what I understand the Krell is great for HT, not so good for music. A good choice for sound quality might be a Proceed PAV/PDSD, but you wont get HDMI nor the latest processing.... | |
| What is meant by subwoofer room pressurization? Hew,Not observable and seamless mean the same thing to me. I aim for a soundstage in which the listener is unaware of any speaker, just fine imaging within the soundstage.db | |
| What is meant by subwoofer room pressurization? I think of it mostly as an HT phenomenon associated with explosions, etc. where you actually feel a pressure wave. A related but different phenomenon occurs with low pedal notes of a pipe organ, where you may feel more than hear them, just as at a... | |
| Upgrading Proceed Amp 5 to Cary Cinema 5???? I doubt it would be an upgrade. You might instead consider upgrading the pre/pro, depending on how important music is to you.db | |
| 17' unbalanced cable v balanced with ISOMAX Al & Clio,Perhaps I've made too big a deal about a kluge. Each ISOMAX box is only 3" square and 2" deep, so they are easy to tuck away and completely effective in restoring the noise floor to inaudible. If they distort the sound, I was unaware... | |
| How to set up Velodyne dd15 SubDude is an Auralex product. They work very well with my pair of HGS-15s.db | |
| 17' unbalanced cable v balanced with ISOMAX Al & Clio,Right now the 17' balanced cables run from the Cary 11a to the Proceed Amp 3. When I tried a KUBE 200, I ran the balanced cables from the 11a to the ISOMAX, unbalanced from the ISOMAX to the KUBE, and unbalanced from the KUBE to the ... | |
| hooking up HT amp I think what he's asking is if it will harm his AVR if only one channel is used, leaving the others unloaded. I think that depends on the stability of the amp design. I once asked that question of Madrigal; the answer was that Proceed amps are sta... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Audiofreak32,I assume you're trying to revive a dead horse, otherwise a mere restatement of one of the positions in this thread makes no sense. Unless you imagine you're the arbiter of all things true, and thus spake the truth . . .db | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? In many applications, Rrog's point, "Monitors speakers with a sub also give you the flexability of pulling the monitors into the room for a more spacious sound while not sacrificing bass performance," is perhaps the most cogent in a thread with lo... | |
| KEF 107.2 with KUBE? I reread Olsher's review of the 107 in Stereophile. I think I discounted that aspect of it because I suspect hyperbole. Is it logical that contemporaneously built speakers would have such variations, yet the factory could build a given speaker wit... | |
| KEF 107.2 with KUBE? J24,Recalibrating KUBEs when a driver is altered would be necessary only if KUBEs were calibrated for individual speakers, something neither of us thinks is likely.db | |
| KEF 107.2 with KUBE? I've read that the design of the KUBEs is specific to models of speakers. The installation instructions for the KEF 107.2 warns that a 107.2 KUBE should be used with 107.2 speakers, but does not mention that KUBEs are adjusted for individual speak... | |
| Subs/Monitors vs Full-Range Speakers - Pros/Cons Integration of monitors and subs seems well understood and solvable. I'm concerned that monitors may not have the dynamic range to represent large orchestrations well. In my experience good floor standers do big sound better than monitors, but my ... | |
| XLR to RCA to XLR Sorry, Almarg, I don't, and I don't have a multimeter.Tvad somewhat reluctantly sold his pair of ISOMAX transformers to me. Now I have to find a KUBE for the KEF 107.2s I'm buying.db |
