Maggies moved 6 inches...big improvement
Cwlondon...I think that it results from being well away from all boundries, walls, floor and ceiling. The best setup I heard involved a huge room (barn really) where the Maggies were hung about 40 percent of the way into the room. (Near the center... 
CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do?
The fancy term "Attenuator" disguises the fact that we are talking about a couple of resistors. It's just a voltage divider. I would simply build it into the input jacks of the preamp. Do it with ordinary resistors, and when you get the volume rig... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker
Ray...Pay no attention to those vultures in the tree. 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
.Onhwy61...1. The DEQ2496 can delay one channel vs the other. This is very important for pro sound applications where speakers may be hundreds of feet apart. Range is 0 to 300 ms. Resolution is 0.02 ms. It is not automatic. This feature is not par... 
Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system?
Streetdaddy...If you want to use the Behringer for all sources (not just CDs) you would put it in the Tape loop of your preamp. When you do this you can switch it in and out of the signal path and decide for yourself if there is any degradation in... 
Behringer DEQ2496 HELP
I find that the auto EQ works fine for all frequencies, if "fine" means perfectly flat response 2Hz -20KHz (in my system). I have a multichannel system, and two DEQ2496, and I do the front left and right and the surrounds each channel separately. ... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
6r4apo001@sneakemail.com..."Coasting along" Exactly what we want to get decent volume without distortion. 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
Everyone...My computer has been down for several days. Just two final comments.1..People who have not listened to the DEQ2496 should not comment on its sonic qualities. The price means nothing. (I forgive you for this sin because I once thought th... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Lack of an inductor in series with the woofer means that they rely on the limited frequency response of the woofer to roll off its HF response. This means that the woofer must not exhibit any wild peaks and dips as it approaches its HF limit. The ...

Stevecham...THD 0.007%. S/N greater than 113 dB. Sorry about that. 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
06: Dave_b...Mass production of DVD players has caused great improvement, and cost reduction, of D/A electronics. DVD players all benefit from this newer technology, even when playing CDs. Some years ago there was a quadraphonic LP system that req... 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
Onhwy61...DEQ2494 also has parametric eq if that turns you on. Perhaps you can tell us exactly what is better about Tact equalization. Both the Tact and the Behringer do their operations in the digital domain, which can accomplish things that are ... 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
Jafox...I am sure you know the saying..."don't judge a book by its cover". You should not make assumptions about the DEQ2496 just because it costs $300. I, and a lot of other people, have been astonished by this device. I bought mine only for the ... 
"Reverse" Bi-Wire Question
Just don't get the two connections at the amp reversed in polarity. This would make a short circuit at the speaker where the wires are connected together. 
EQ's... why doesnt everybody have one?
Memeboy...I think you are right..."Many people are afraid of them because they could be used to make things worse and they are not confident in their abilities to know when things are better or worse". I have had equalizers before, but they never ...
