| Amps - New vs. Used I just added a sub, and was really happy to hear more 'air' around instruments in the highs in my main speakers than before. A particular trumpet note that 'rang' after the note ended that I'd never heard before stood out. But at the same time, th... | |
| Amps - New vs. Used Great, thanks for the thoughts. So it sounds like good used (B&K is only radar, along with Parasound, ATI, Emotiva, Outlaw) is only slightly more risky than new, and potentially cheaper, with one vote to upgrade amps first and see if that sati... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported I ran the AVR's room measurement program. Initially when the mains were still set on 'large', I had no sub on 2 channel, but changing them to 'small' brough the sub into play. There are room problems, watching a movie last night I was getting spur... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Ample??? Um...yeah, you could say that!! I have it basically setup - it's in the best spot in the room, just need to dial it in. But there's no lack of output!Definitely helping the mains. I have an old demo disc I know well, and hearing details I... | |
| How do you amp your system? I'm kind of thinking along those lines. I don't like the compromises my budget forces me into, and sometimes prefer to do nothing until I can afford what I want. I'm almost there now with the amp choice - thinking an ATI 2007 is where I should be,... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Not-so-patiently waiting for it...Since my system is pulling double duty, 2 channel music and HT, are there any tricks/tips for hookup? Again, Yamaha RXA3010 AVR with sub-out. I'm hoping the sub's bass will relieve some of the load on my 2-channel... | |
| NAD 2400 Power Rating x 4 Speaker Hookup? iirc, that's a 2 channel amp, so the basic answer is 50 each. But I think there's something about the amp also seeing less ohms, and so it's ability to drive the speakers may be reduced. Others who know the technical side will have to chime in, bu... | |
| How do you amp your system? The Kappas will be upgraded. One day...but they aren't biampable. I've read about Parasound, ATI, Outlaw, Wyred, Emotiva....the options seem endless. There's even a used Krell KAV500 on eBay that isn't too far out of budget, and it's bridge able t... | |
| How do you amp your system? Oops, Monday moment - it is a 9.2, this is on the factory website: 150W per Channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.06 % THD, 2 ch driven). My 2 channel @ 125 does run out of gas. When I'm in 'play mode', I have the volume up to 0.0db and up, with a max ... | |
| How do you amp your system? Sorry, yes, I was referring to HT. I am building a system as I go. I have a new AVR and an old 2-channel amp I was using for..you guessed it...2 channel.I have bought a ULS15 sub that is on the way. I have Synchrony S's used in 7.1 mode, powered b... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Yeah, I let it go...I got a ULS 15 coming for $700. I figure it may be a tad high for used, but if I really don't like I can get most of it back resale. SVS would have been first choice, but for half the money I figured I'd try this. Now the inter... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported I believe so, in fact they recommend speaker level in and LFE. I'm planning on looking at it tomorrow, and IF the guy will deal, we'll see. Thanks for the Vandy recommendation. I have a dealer somewhat close, although he suggested dual PSB's or on... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Thanks again! I'm afraid my head is starting to spin, and if pea soup starts coming out, my wife won't be happy! I'm doing it to myself though. :)There's a used ULS15 for $700.00, the SVS I haven't found used, so $1600. For that difference, the UL... | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Yakbob - Any input on an REL Stadium III for $1700? One just popped up within 15 miles....A little higher than I wanted to go, but for a one time purchase...? | |
| Subs: sealed vs. ported Yeah, I'm not doubting the grin-factor with the SVS PB13 Ultra, or the SB13 Ultra, or really any of the 'real' subs out there, especially since I have no reference. And I'm guessing that placement/integration will make as much or more of a differe... |
