| Whats playing on your system today? Cowboy Junkies "The Trinity Session". This album was recorded with one mic in Trinity Church in Toronto. I am listening with my new First Watt F6 amplifier and it is the first time i have heard the hall while listening to the album. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Eric Bibb "Live at the Scala Theatre Stockholm" | |
| Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's @grislybutter 38Hz seem low... Based on what I've read, I am trying it at 38Hz to 48Hz. The subwoofer is supposed to be able to go to like 18HZ. I realize that there is not a lot of recorded music that produces 18Hz, but after two days of messi... | |
| Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's @grislybutter are you planning to match 2.5K subwoofers to 5K speakers that already have a lot of bass? Yeah, I guess I am. The Forte iv's are specified at 38Hz. The last speakers I had for any length of time were Thiel CS5i's that went down t... | |
| Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's All your comments are great stuff, thanks! @noromance - placing the main speakers on there long wall is not an option. Trust me, I have thought about it, including my wife's reaction! @souix - a lot to think about. I think the crawl method migh... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Hi All, Finally, I have my Carbon SE mk2's sorted. I acquired a factory refurbished Marantz CD60 player and an AVA SET120 integrated and things have come together. Imagining, soundstage, bass, sense of aliveness and musicality are all ther... | |
| Speakers to pair with Quicksilver mid mono Not exactly on point, but I have a pair of Forte iv's powered by Quicksilver horn monos. Plenty of power and the highs sound live with no harsh high end. Manages the 12 inch woofers with ease. My thought is that the mid monos would be a lot of p... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII I purchased a pair of Carbons about four months ago. I agree with the positive comments posted here. Mine are on the long end of a 15 x 20 untreated room that has an area rug, sectional couch, and drapes. They are three feet from the sidewalls a... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @jafant Les McCann I don't know this artist. What does he sound like? Album recommendations? Thanks, Dsper | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @mesch I am surprised he said that about the 120 SET amp His remark was in the context of me currently using an Axiom II passive with the speakers, which Fritz felt was a pretty good passive. He was thinking the passive in the 120 SET would get... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Had a conversation with Fritz about amps for the Carbons. He mentioned Belles and Van Alstine. When I explained that I was using a passive preamp, he thought the 120 SET Control amp might not be my cup of tea. I really do not have the space for a... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @mahgister "...imaging is NEVER achieved by luck or haphazard owners actions , but by acoustic good conditions and gear synergy for sure ..." Are you speaking about image as a holographic or two dimensional ? | |
| klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers I bought Forte iv's instead of Cornwall iv's, because, to my ears, the Forte's had better bass. So... does anybody know of anybody that can upgrade Forte iv crossovers or recommend what capacitors, etc. to use in an upgrade? Thanks. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! @mahgister "ENDGAME means that we are so happy passing this threshold of MINIMAL acoustic satisfaction when acoustic problems are solved..." I could not agree with you more! I worked my way through Magnepan 1.7 and 3.6 (when I did not understa... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @mapman If I were you I’d strongly consider trying the Glow Audio Amp 1 with the Fritz. This is interesting; but I not sure I want to fuss with tubes. Were you thinking the Glow Audio 1 or 2? Would five watts be enough to run the Carbons? @do... |
