| Using two subs Gregadd,Setup caused the problem you experienced with a single sub. A single sub, properly setup, should disappear as well. But setup may be easier with two subs. Don't know about your subs, but I have mine turned down to a quarter scale at the su... | |
| KEF 104/2, 105/3, or 107/2? Wow, when I started reading the OP it sounded like me; when I got to the bottom I saw it was me! I bought a pair of the late bi-wired 104/2s several years ago, and have been very pleased with their sound. I listened to one of my favorite CDs (Big ... | |
| How high to mount my TV monitor? In the early days of computers, I developed the symptoms of a pinched nerve, Exhaustive and painful tests failed to reveal the source. But then I read a tech study by IBM labs, in which they evaluated viewing height: Gaze should be no more than ho... | |
| Video for Movie Room I read avsforum, but find the organization difficult. Too often you find yourself reading a long series of rants about some detail or another. An 80" plasma or LCD will be very expensive. I'm trying to work out a combination of fixed screen front ... | |
| Hearing loss and audio reviewers ? READ ON I haven't kept up with the literature in decades, but there used to be a debate about whether HF hearing loss was natural or noise-induced, with some evidence that populations not exposed to noise did not suffer HF hearing loss with age. At the sa... | |
| Speaker cone material pro's and con's AES articles are unlikely to meet his intelligble-to-layman criterion, unless he could find a general review article. In my experience, peer reviewed articles in professional journals are aimed at readers active in the field.db | |
| What's the difference between Proceed's amplifiers I have a couple of Amp-2s and an Amp-3. I think the HP series are larger and have greater power. I have read that the HA series doesn't have quite the same sound, but I don't know that. The Amp-2 and Amp-3 are fine amps, with an excellent power ba... | |
| 26"-32" LCD HDTV Buying Angst--Toshiba? Sony? etc. Since I discovered how much stereo imaging improved when I removed my Sony 36 XBR from between my KEF 104/2s, I've come up with a plan for a Sony Pearl (VW50) projecting onto a 92" diagonal Stewart SST FireHawk screen for movies and certain HDTV p... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I've only been a buyer, and I never ask that question, but of course it's always in the back of my mind. If I'm going to make what I consider a low offer, I explain my rationale, usually in terms of utility to me. Every purchase experience I've ha... | |
| auralex subdude...can i use this with Rel Storm3? I use a SubDude under my Velodyne HGS-15 to good effect. It tamed any tendancy to boominess, and audiophiles who have listened say they are not aware of the sub, because it integrates well with the KEF 104/2s. The sub is placed behind one of the K... | |
| HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? I think Bob Reynolds has the good answer, and that speakers are the main determiners of the sound you get (it's the tansduction process) followed by cartridge if you're into analog (or tape speed, tape width and thickness, and storage). But Pluto,... | |
| panasonic 50 inch vs. hitachi 55 Will you care or even perceive a difference at a 12 to 14 feet viewing distance? Better visit the dealer and vary your viewing distance, if immersion in movies is a goal rather than casual viewing. The SMPTE and THX viwing-distance calculators sug... | |
| Sony SCD-XA9000es vs. SCD-1 sacd playback? Damn, Tom. I've asked this same question and never gotten a reply, so I conclude no one who reads AudiogoN has made such a comparison. I'd also like to know if there is an appreciable difference between a XA9000ES and a DVP-NS9100ES, but apparentl... | |
| Distance/Screen SIze Formula? Chad etc,I think your reply is a bit demeaning to lel and to me. lel wrote that they did not like the first few rows of a movie theater, and seemed to be asking about video size to achieve an image they might find satisfactory in their living room... | |
| Distance/Screen SIze Formula? Chadnliz (I assume there are two of you, Chad & Liz),If not for movies and good HDTV programming, why would someone post a query about video on AudiogoN? A query about casual viewing would be like me asking you which tube amp I should buy for ... |
