| Vintage Luxman receivers In my opinion, the best sounding and the best made Luxman, solid state Amp and Preamp from the past, is the Luxman M-05 Power Amp and C-05 Preamp. I have not listened to any new Luxman gear, so I can not make any comparison on sound quality betwee... | |
| Another HiFi Listening Room help request Look for a good used pair of JBL 4435’s they have been in my two channel home audio system since 1983. You can also actively bi-amp them if you choose to do so. With that said I have no experience with DJ-ing. Hope that helps. See the review below... | |
| How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables? If your cable is of sufficient size gauge and well put together your off and running. A percent figure based on the quality of your system (rule of thumb) is Total BS. I agree 100%! Mike | |
| 15 ohm speakers yea or nay? What has me scratchin’ my head is that the Falcons are much louder with the volume set the same on my preamp. Maybe the Falcons play louder then the Harbeths because a 16 Ohm woofer has a lighter and thinner voice coil then an 8 Ohm woofer. So ... | |
| Vintage Luxman receivers Bought a perfect condition Luxman R-104 at a garage sale today for 5 bucks! Yes, Great deal! I bought new in 1977 two Luxman B-12 monoblock amps and a Luxman C-12 preamp I paid $2000 for the two amps and preamp back then. I had them for more t... | |
| High efficiency desktop speakers Finding a bookshelf speaker with 95 db is an impossible task. True! Mike | |
| 15 ohm speakers yea or nay? @yogiboy, Efficiency and sensitivity are not the same. My speakers are JBL 4435 monitors and have a sensitivity of 96 dB SPL @ 1 watt @ 2 meters @ 8 Ohm and have an efficiency of 2.7%. See the JBL manual below specifications section, last page. A... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @jumia, Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? Diffuser panel: Because a bookshelf is not a diffuser panel. See below: Mike | |

| Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers @kellymack, Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers I would bi-amp. That said it should not be undertaken without first asking the manufacturer’s advice. When I horizontally bi-amped my speakers with an analog active crossover d... | |
| DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take? @russbutton Wrote: Here's WHY active crossovers are so very much better than passive. A single loudspeaker driver is an inductor, and provides a frequency dependent, reactive load to an amplifier. Looking at the image here, the blue line on the ... | |
| Why not? @big_greg Wrote: My Ampzilla amps come with a custom power cord that the manufacturer thinks is the perfect match. It’s hardwired into the amplifier. Love it or leave it My Crown Studio Reference One Amp comes with a custom permanently attache... | |
| Why not? @lalitk Wrote: That’s one way to end the debate on fancy aftermarket power cords. Let’s bring back electronics with captive power cords 🤣 I agree. Another way is to eliminate the power cord and wall plug. I run my amp directly to the dedicated... | |
| Green Mountain Audio I agree with @larryi! Refoam the woofers. Mike | |
