| Five feet from the front wall @bdp24 Thanks, my question was the simple one of do I need to explain what x feet from the front wall means. Regarding speaker placement, I always try to get the best bass relative to where room logistics force the listening chair to be. I agr... | |
| Five feet from the front wall Okay...what speakers are you talking about? | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Just wanted everyone to know I appreciated the discerning responses in this thread. I have reread it a couple of times and something new sticks in my brain each time. AVA has been mentioned by several of you. I had spoken with Frank in February ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @j_andrews Mixed feelings to be very honest. It controlled the Forte 12 inch woofer but just made the highs too polite. Very smooth sound, but not what i would characterize as liquid. The Forte's can boogie and put you in the room when paired w... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Lots of good advice here. Thanks everyone! @jjss49 and @j_andrews I appreciate the sound characterization of the Fritz speakers. This was the sort of info I was hoping to obtain. I had a pair of Tyler Speakers with cloth dome tweeters and they... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Thanks for the ideas! @ soix probably $1500 give or take. Thought maybe I could find a good used piece. I was wondering about Parasound or possibly Anthem. Maybe a class D? @ j_andrews can you share how you judge the sound differences between t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I hate threads like this because the Maggie's are the only speakers I keep thinking I should go back to. Let me explain. My first real speakers were original Large Advents; I still own two pairs. About 15 years ago we moved into a new home with a... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems It certainly is subjective. For example, is it the recording space and position of the musicians or is it the ability to hear the sound of the guitar pick on the string before the note starts? Is a system so resolving that it does not sound musi... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @charlesdad1 Well, Pro-Ject makes their own optional LPS. Many RS2T owners are very happy with the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. I’m very happy with the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS. I do not believe that you could go wrong with any of these 3. Char... | |
| Room Layout and Acoustic Improvements on a Limited Budget @whart You need to control reflective surfaces...the fundamentals of your room, what position the speakers should be in given the equipment and room, where you are creating problems that you can solve by removing things or using common furnishin... | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @ditusa Thanks, I have a lot to learn yet! | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @ditusa I get the horn monos with an all horn speaker. I just worry that the amps would not drive the Forte's well given their 12 inch woofer and 15 inch passive radiator... Will have to give Quicksilver a call. | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @atmasphere ...you might consider a passive volume control... Benjamin at Mojo Audio, who made my DAC (1.5 V), also suggested that a passive might be the way to go. I do have a Luminous Axiom passive that I can try. @ditusa I would go with Qu... | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @atmasphere 26dB is a lot of gain in a preamp line stage these days. My CJ 17LS2 is probably twenty years old and has 26 dB gain with no switching to a lower gain. My CJ LP66S tube amp (50wpc) is also about twenty years old with 0.5 V input s... | |
