| subwoofer in corner under shelf: reflection probs? Riley, that may be true, but I'd rather not install it only to discover it messes up my sound....so if people have any insights, that would be most appreciated. And in truth, it's not just a single shelf, but a shelfing unit which I would use to h... | |
| Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice I am the OP in the thread that Aggielaw references above. Note that the issues this poster is experiencing are different. The POP I have with the Nagra unit is only when it is first powered on, NOT when I switch sources subsequently. There is also... | |

| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? Agree on HT Pro 9+. Has the characteristics you describe. | |
| Jeff Roland Capri I believe the fellow I was helping out in this instance is considering doing just that, so hopefully Paul will give us a report back when he tries it. | |
| Jeff Roland Capri Yes thanks all. Very helpful and sorry for false alarm. But good to know a fuse change is easy. | |
| Help with Totems I like the Arros much more than the Staff and have owned both. The Forests are better than either. But the Staff are a poor compromise from my perspective. | |
| least harmful light dimmer Very helpful indeed. I will check out Lutron. Thanks everyone. | |
| least harmful light dimmer Well, we love music, but we also love to cook. A dimmer on the lights over the island would allow us to adjust light where we will be prepping food, and those lights will be quite bright at the highest setting (generally, but not always a good thi... | |
| how to include the subwoofer? David, Marty, thanks for the additional replies. Your two posts bracket my thinking. So....I'm gonna try both and see which works better. Hey, it's a hobby afterall.thanks guys.--dan | |
| Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs? When I owned the Forests I drove them with Bel Canto Ref 1000s. I had them paired with a Totem Thunder sub. Sound was quite nice. | |
| how to include the subwoofer? Hey Marty, no apologies necessary -- I appreciated your additional post. But actually, running the Curves full range and using the Velodyne it is still possible to get some benefit from the DRC in the Velodyne. By setting the low pass in the Velod... | |
| Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs? Hate to say it, but I wouldn't recommend it personally. I have owned a good part of the Totem line -- monitors, floorstanders, and subs. The Dreamcatcher is a decent sub, but it is a mismatch with the Forests, in my opinion. I would say the Dreamc... | |
| how to include the subwoofer? Thanks Lev. Yes my volume settings on the DD12 are right where yours are. From a volume perspective it is "barely being used" but that little bit of volume does great things for the sound (after a lot of time getting the parameters tweaked properly). | |
| how to include the subwoofer? Marty -- yes thanks, your thoughts are very similar to mine. And in fact, with my previous pre-amp, I used the Velodyne exaclty as you noted -- by setting the crossover higher and having it reinforce the speakers output below 100 hz, I got better ... |
