| Poor Man's "Super-Speaker" System The Comment by Sean regarding active crossovers has gotten my wheels in the mind turning again...The Eminent Tech LFT-8's happen to have the pannels containing the mid/tweeter connections very accessable. One can easily work with the wiring on the... | |
| Poor Man's "Super-Speaker" System Thanks a lot for responses; it IS a tweaker's delight! Who else has a story to tell about multi-speaker-madness? | |
| Tape Monitor Line-Out direct to amplifier solution Another option is to switch to an preamp that has dual main outs. I did this recently in an attempt to run two pair of speakers as a "super-speaker" (for lack of better term). If you check my threads, I asked which preamps have dual main outs. Int... | |
| Best pre-owned subs below $1k? Vandersteen and REL | |
| Warm Tubes I just switched from an Audio Research LS-9 pre (solid state) to a Rogue Audio Magnum 66 (tube). Three things dramatically improved: power-I couldn't believe how much more visceral ooomph was allowed to flow through the speakers! Detail- a nice ju... | |
| Eminent Technology Hybrids Aniwolfe,Enjoy! You've found a great audio bargain! With the sale of the old speakers for approx. half price, you could end up with cash in pocket! Not very often that happens in this hobby! An upgrade with cash back! | |
| Jolida JD100 better that the Rega Planet 2000? I'm not convinced that these highly modded low end units are all they're cracked up to be. I had an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb with all the extras and was crushed to hear how anemic it was next to the Rega Planet 2000. The Ah! was summarily booted out of the ... | |
| Eminent Technology Hybrids I liked 'em so much, I'm adding second pair. Saw a review which suggested that two pairs running as mains hearkened back to the Infinity four tower 60K$ reference speakers. I found that intriguing, so I'm putting together a preamp with dual main o... | |
| one 7 channel amp or seperate 2 channel amps? Why not biamp? the Titan sounds like a nice unit. Run four amps of it to the speakers (you'll need to biwire them). that should knock your socks off, and likely you'll feel no need to purchase a new amp for main speakers. The only drawback, then y... | |
| Biamping; Amps w. Different power ratings? Eldartford, you have gone above and beyond the call on helping me learn about my amps. I appreciate it! I'll probably post on my audiogon virtual system the results. | |
| Biamping; Amps w. Different power ratings? Thanks for the clarification! I have heard of people even pairing tube amps and solid state on speakers, so I'm guessing this shouldn't be the world of difference between these two amps:Outlaw Audio 755 (200wpc) input sens. 1.43vOutlaw Audio 750 (... | |
| Biamping; Amps w. Different power ratings? Well, guys, you're waaay more knowledgeable and technical than I am. I appreciate your insights! I thought I'd just try wiring it both ways and seeing which I prefer. I've thought the bass was a bit strong with a single pair of LFT-8's biwired at ... | |
| Best speaker value I used to use Maggies; now I've moved up to Eminent Technology LFT-8a's. Rich, powerful, controlled, detailed, you name it. Bruce Thigpen, the maker, is wonderful! $1,700/pr. I suggest strongly you biamp them for max listening pleasure. | |
| Preamps with Dual Main Out? Well, I found out that Rogue Audio has a 66 Magnum model, which has a selectable tape/2nd main output. Trip a switch inside the unit and wala, it becomes dual main out. I bought one used; decent enough price, but sure hope it sounds ok. | |
| Preamps with Dual Main Out? Fantastic Help! How about a bit more insight as to picking a potential replacement pre? (by the way, Rkeman, I'm already doing what you suggested! It's a great idea, which I'm using, but when I add my NEXT additional pair of LFT-8a speakers, I wou... |
