| to wall or not to wall? I wouldn't get too freaked out about the 'to wall or not to wall' question. The more important question, imho, is if you want the room secluded or not? You will not have an authentic HT if it's an open-air affair where room noise can intrude. Same... | |
| Vandersteen X-2 crossover??? THIS IS WHAT I'M DOING; DO WHAT YOU WANT AND DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! Please read above disclaimer and don't ever suggest I didn't warn everyone! I take zero responsibility for what you do to your system.But, I've removed the crossovers completely.... | |
| Military Spec Nuclear Shielded Speaker Cable? Works fine on subs. | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Soniqmike,Great point about some of these faux large speakers. Like the floorstanders that use 6" wide and 40" tall aluminum cabinets and have about four to six 4" bass drivers...Yah, that's a joke for a big speaker. Nice to look at but c'mon, tha... | |
| Anyone Tried the The Chapman T-7 is a three way; proprietary Chapman 10" bass, 6" Scanspeak mid, and 1" metal dome tweeter. They weigh about 80 lbs. and are heavily braced. Exceptional quality wiring, inductors, capacitors, etc. are used and all tuned to under 1% ... | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Everyone knows small speakers they want to sound big. I have never found any small speaker to actually foot the bill; small speaker = small sound. It's physics. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing bookshelves. It's just that a person isn't going t... | |
| How should I build a system around my speakers? Reubent is right; you must decide if you will move into higher fidelity two channel music, or if you will join the masses who have mid-fi multi-channel. Either way you will enjoy, so no stress. ;)You can always add a surround processor later as we... | |
| Integrated Amp that goes well with Triangle Celius Running them bridged/mono over one stereo integrated adds...one piece to the system (2nd amp). Not nearly as death-defying as it sounds. In fact, bridged/mono integrateds use two less interconnects than using pre and amp. Don't let the fancy termi... | |
| Integrated Amp that goes well with Triangle Celius Yes, Chulheekim, you need two amps to run bridged/monobloc. The terms are interchangeable. All stereo amps that can be run mono have some way to swtich them/reconfigure them to output only one channel instead of two. This necessitates having two i... | |
| Integrated Amp that goes well with Triangle Celius Ah, XLR8OR, welcome to the insanity, I mean, Audiogon community! Looking forward to seeing pics of your system soon! :) Let's see, we haven't talked about our amps for, oh, say, ten hours now, in our nearly daily conversations over the past three ... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? Blindjim, you have great insight; outersight may be a bit rough, as based on your moniker and comments, but good insight! :)I must say, I AM thoroughly enjoying the MIT speaker cables. I am actually using a run of the Tice for the subwoofers, whic... | |
| Which power cord to upgrade first? Tvad is dead on; power cords would be diminishing returns at the point you are at. Definitely save for component upgrades - much bigger bang for buck over time. | |
| Anyone Tried the Jaybo, As nice as the Chapman T-7's are, there is a step up I'm pursuing...Chapman T-77's! These are going to be the pinnacle of Stuart Jones' speaker making prowess. He has been working on a custom pair for me for about four months. We've made so... | |
| Tubes for HT? Having recently converted from SS to tubes in the two chanel and HT system, I say GO FOR IT! Just one caveat; heat. Some tube amps are good for space heaters as well as amplification. You may want to look into use of tube hybrid integrated amps fo... | |
| Usher speakers/prices? I sent you an email, Jack. Just posting here redundantly. Contact me; no I'm not a dealer, just satisfied owner. |
