| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation Ozzy, you may even consider the physical placement of the subs; I use Legacy Audio XTREME HD Subs following the review at Dagogo.com, however I use them backwards. They are normally backwards firing, but I feel the sound is far superior when they ... | |
| DSPeaker Anti Mode 2.0 evaluation All such products diminish absolute definition/clarity - no exceptions. They must, as they are not necessary devices inserted into the signal path. It is to be expected that the system will sound cleaner without any non-necessary device inserted. ... | |
| legacy speakers I have reviewed Legacy Audio products in the past and have been now involved in a review of the Morrow Audio Cables; I know Mike and Bill and have not found them to be unreasonable men. The return policy for cables at Morrow Audio is clearly poste... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request Tom, I'm glad you're enjoying the process of building the rig. It is terrifically gratifying when one hears the result. You don't have to switch the wiring with the 5.2 processor; just feed the two channels of the stereo pre into the inputs of the... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? A sure way to enjoy music immensely is to try and force the issue. Pressure yourself to enjoy it! Force yourself to concentrate on relaxation! Push to the limit in immersing yourself into it! The fallacy of the calm listner is far too prevalent; t... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request Tom, whichever amps you buy, most will be well within tolerances for impedance that you can switch them from Bass duties to M/T duties. Be sure to try them out both ways; you may be very surprised by the results. Also, do not believe the notion th... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request Tom, glad you are finding the conversation helpful. Over the years pretty much the listing of amps above; I tend to work with pairs of stereo amps especially if they can be bridged to Mono. I do so because some of the speakers I use are only singl... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request Tom, in my use class D amps have been superb at transients and clean, but lacking somewhat in fullness and tonal richness that good Class AB amps have. I requested specifically that the Whisper I have not use internal Class D amplification so that... | |
| Legacy Speaker Owners Assistance Request Having reviewed the Helix, Focus/Focus SE and Whisper for Dagogo.com I have some familiarity with the brand. :) I have used the Whisper in reviewing with a large assortment of amps including but not limited to Jeff Rowland class D, VAC Phi 200, Pa... | |
| indoor speakers used oudoors I had one rule going through college and for open parties when inevitably I was approached to use the system for dances; sorry, but No. Unless you have full control of the system, and even if you do have full control, attempting to broadcast to th... | |
| regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC Assuming these are nice mono amps, the idea of alterning them out of thriftiness in altering power cords seems crazy to me. You would not be able to sell these amps as being unaltered from manufacturer, and you'd take a big hit on them. And just h... | |
| To Ride and Not Go Deaf Some thought provoking responses; thanks. I believe I am at this point going to invest in the expensive, but supposedly world class noise diminishing Schuberth pro helmet. Combined with foam ear plugs at 32 dB reduction they should provide substan... | |
| To Ride and Not Go Deaf You guys all have very positive and thoughtful responses. I have heard of the Etymotic brand before, but will check them out. These two activities are antithetic when it comes to sound, so I have to create the proper environment (head space) so th... | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? A person can certainly build a fine audio system with an active speaker; many of us have heard examples of such. I would not discount a speaker simply because it uses a class D design amp. There are distinct advantages, or more accurately, trade-o... | |
| Budget Cable Suggestions: 15 ft Runs 8,9 Gauge You may have a very difficult time getting 8/9 Ga wires. I have seen some 10 Ga, one of them being Clarity Cable. Dana cables has a ridiculously low Ga. but nowhere near your price. The problem is that when you get to that point in total gauge you... |
