| Dual subwoofers-need to be from same manufactures? Actually, you could make a great argument for a sub of another brand. A different sub will have different strengths and weaknesses. You can analyze your system for where there appears to be a dip in the bass and buy a sub to maximize that benefit.... | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Coincident Eclipse, partial eclipse, victory or similar. They love low power tubes and are amazingly efficient, just ask my 3 watt amp. | |

| Can car amps be used for home audio? 1-Car amps have much higher distortion levels in regards to the wattage ratings. If you compare these amps at the same distortion level as a mid range audio amp, the car amps would have much lower power ratings.2-You would need a really good 12 vo... | |
| Speakers suggestion that can be driven hard If you are blowing tweeters, it's most likely your amp's or source's fault. Either your system is unnecessarily bright or you are getting distortion by over-driving your amp. Most speakers can handle a ton of power but one watt of distortion will ... | |
| Searching for new speakers: Wilson, B&W, ?? Just add a Martin Logan sub. By alleviating the amp and speakers from producing that much bass will really open them up. Since bass draws so much power, your mid bass may be lacking from too little power. | |
| The right amp for my system if the pioneer isnt up to the task, then the marantz probably wont do it either. You need to step it up to something in the realm of an Anthem at 200wpc. The Pioneer is a nice unit but when you put that much in one box, it does have it limitations... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp I agree with Herman after all. Why use the NAD at all? If you need it for phono, just sell it and buy an NAD phono. THey are cheap. Go with the Lex only. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp Kartez and Herman, tell me if I'm wrong but...aren't most Lexicon units superior to most NAD's? Why not lose the NAD? | |
| Armoire between speakers To further my comments: Try what Theo said about the blanket and move the speakers up just so the front is in inch in front of the armoire. If you notice a big difference, then you know to lose the unit-it will only get better if gone at that point. | |
| Speaker recommendations for small space Thiel viewpoint on the side walls or pointsource on the ceiling? | |
| Armoire between speakers How far do you sit from the speakers? If you are 9 feet away or more, it should be ok.They should always sound better out of a corner. Also, do you have the fronts of the speakers protruding out from the front of the armoire? That will help as wel... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp You could run the Lexicon through the tape loop on the NAD. The tape loop is independent of volume control and should pass through a full signal. | |
| Problems with my Chiro c 800 and 5.1 decoder Many units won't take a digital or 5.1 signal and down-mix that for pro-logic. You will have to have a stereo/2 channel signal for it to produce pro-logic sound. If you are only using 5.1 or digital out from your dvd player, that's the problem. Yo... | |
| Can a DAC improve FM? Only if you had a digital output from the tuner. If you are streaming audio from your pc or using satellite/cable this will work. |
