| Warm romantic & detailed Sorry, there's a copule of mods you could make, I've had the same issues with Focals. If you otherwise love them: Replace the tweeter caps with Mundorf MKP or Clarity CEPut felt on the sides of the tweet using PSA backed felt. | |
| Amp & headphone amp plugged in simultaneously? Hi,Weird this happens with high input impedance amps, unless the XLR output is getting grounded or something like that. Best,Erik | |
| Adding a sub woofer? I don't know that I have ever appreciated a change in the midrange of my system with the subs active. It is very intriguing how this could even happen with nothing changing at the signal the main speakers are receiving. The best answer to th... | |
| New high end processor Anthem uber alles.Also, have you seen the band new series???? They just announced this month. | |
| Do you rely on RAID as your NAS backup? Well, RAID is in fact very cool.... but usually requires an appliance, and the appliance itself can fail. If you need high throughput access to a lot of storage, go with raid. If you just need to back up your PC periodically, a single external dis... | |
| For Anthem AV Enthusiasts AHA!!!! I felt these were coming. :) I can't wait. | |
| How to damper booming bass... Location of the speakers.EQ.Bass traps. | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? I don't think you need more power, but you may need different power.As a counter point, if you can listen to Ayre, Bryston and Luxman you should. | |
| B&W 803 d3 vs Wilson Audio Daw ..who is better? Well, whether you like neutral or not is up to you. Modern Wilsons are much more neutral than the B&W line. With a stiff enough amp, and a good room both do about the same in the bass. When you compare, pay attention to the natural volume you ... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? The answer to this is complicated. Can you give us more specifics about your speaker, your amp and listening room? Do the 2' test. Sit 2 ' from your speaker and ask if it still sounds strained, if not, it's the room. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. It is supposed to be a neutral pass thru of a signal.I don't buy for neutral, I buy for fun. I have to say the ARC is one of the most neutral bits of tube gear out there, which in my mind has made it a let down. Lots of less expensive gear sounds... | |
| Does speaker-level input to sub by pass its electronics? To the contrary, I was concerned that speaker-level input might treat the subs as ordinary 15" speakers, but the high input impedance of subs is always stressed as the reason it doesn't stress the amp.That would be a very odd design! It's a lot... | |
| AB Testing Experiences My first question of the OP's post is : What do you want to get out of your testing experience, and do you think A/B testing is suitable for those goals? | |
| Does speaker-level input to sub by pass its electronics? There’s no part of that amp you want to bypass. If you want to start modding or DIY'ing a sub, consider making your own from scratch. | |
| Subwoofer /swarm report.... Have you seen the Room EQ Wizard room simulator? It's meant to help with finding good spots. |
