| Do I have enough power for a good quality sound? My power amps are in the cellar, so I rarely see them. Recently I was playing some music at about 100 dB for purposes of some test (details of which I forget) and I wandered down to the cellar. To my surprise, the clip LEDs of my three 600 wpc amp... | |
| speakers in a bad room As Sogood51 said "Large speakers with truly deep bass response will not sound good as is unless you like...BOOOOOM".I thought that one important aspect of High End audio was unrestricted low end. If you are in the process of building or remodeling... | |
| End of Record Distortion All the angles and forces make for an interesting discussion, but maybe your stylus is just picking up dust. Well, actually it's not a question of whether there is dust, but rather how much. Surely you clean off the stylus before you begin to play... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Shave the cats, and let them sit where they want. | |
| speakers in a bad room Herman...I guess that 18 X 24 is a good sized room, for anything except audio. A very popular feature of newly built houses is the "great room" often 30 X 40 or more, and with a high ceiling and irregular shape. This really makes for good audio. O... | |
| speakers in a bad room 18 X 24 is a bit small. However ages ago I had a system, (mono because stereo was not yet invented) in the concrete cellar of a New York City house. When I played dixieland jazz it was great, because the jazz dives that I visited at the time were ... | |
| How do you shield a Center speaker? I have seen those "bucking magnets" and I wonder how they affect the performance of the driver you put them on. I would prefer the shielding approach. | |

| Need Inexpensive Crossover Sogood51...I did study the material on 1st order series X/O which Karls provided. (If you are there Karls, thanks again). Once you wade through all the greek alphabet it really doesn't say anything profound (IMHO of course).Next thing I predict is... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Tone controls got a bad reputation several decades ago. Tone control circuitry of modern equipment does not degrade audio quality, but can correct defects in the way a recording was made, and perhaps compensate for your speaker's weaknesses. | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Sean...As anyone who has experimented with matrix quad LPs knows, vertical signal from an LP is dramatically inferior to horizontal. (Of course that is why long long ago mono records were changed from vertical to horizontal, and why the 45 degree ... | |
| Need Inexpensive Crossover Sogood51...I happen at the moment to be researching X/O for my own purposes, so it was no big deal. I downloaded the DCX2496 Owners Manual, all 35 pages. It is huge overkill for home audio, but is really amazing for $400. | |
| Need Inexpensive Crossover OK. Here is the deal. For $64.99 (after rebate).Behringer CX2310 Item 248-664 at parts express. It won't do all the wonderful things that a DCX2496 will do, but it is what you need. It's analog. Classic 24 dB Linkwitz-Riley characteristic.I am ama... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karls...Thanks, I guess :-)How many continuing education credits do I get for this?. Will there be a final exam? |
