| Speakers which always sound good I wonder about Avantgarde, just because their horns radiate so differently than most. It is my belief, based on the literature, they attempt a spherical wavefront, right? Seems like they want to be in a more controlled environment. I have only h... | |
| Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out? Any pre with a pair of outputs will work, as will a Y splitter. Here’s the trick. You need to make sure the sub and amp input impedance are high. So long as that’s the case, you are good. If you want to put in a high pass filter in the amp, you ca... | |
| Mytek Manhattan II as preamp I have a Mytek Brooklyn....I think it will sound different, in large part due to the Ayre diamond output stage. Also, and I'm not sure it's the same issue, I've had the Mytek shoot up to 11 upon static shock, so I would never again run it straigh... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers SO, do we assume a 40-50k speaker pair will go into a bespoke listening room??? | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I kind of agree with the Vandersteens if you include their amps. :) | |
| Speakers which always sound good You know in another thread some one reminded me of the KEF Kube and then I thought of the B&W equivalents.Having an electronic contour for speaker's bass response is such a wonderful thing I wish it was more popular. Those makers were very mu... | |
| Poor Fritz FYI, the 7" ScanSpeak mid-woofer are in fact 6.5" and they are among the best in the world. Not only are they very good sounding in the bass to mids, they also have amazing extension in the right cabinet. There’s a reason why they’ve appeared oft... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching I'm not sure what your problem is. The TV out put is line level, not speaker level. It will need a preamp and amp. Your speaker sensitivity would be irrelevant. | |
| Speakers which always sound good To be clear, this is not really me shopping. This was for discussion. | |
| KEF 107.1 or B&W 802 S3 Matrix Hi Rhino5,The kube came out of a generation of speaker makers (including B&W and Bose) who were experimenting with changing up what happens in the cabinet vs. the amplifier as well as allowing you to better match your room placement and person... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? There really is no issue in my mind to be fixed. It's more of a theoretical discussion. Maybe another way to word it is this:You can't do much with room acoustics until you reach a critical mass. 4 2' x 4' panels in a modest living room are prob... | |
| Poor Fritz If right now I tried to promote exactly whatever Kenjit last promoted he'd be saying that it was the wrong thing and pointing to exactly the opposite. Whatever he's saying, it's just a merry go round for him. Good luck to you all pinning him down. | |
| Equalizer Roon has EQ built in. | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino George,This is Audiogon, and that means 2 things as far as you are concerned: I do not give a damn about your approvalI do not have to be sly about a damn thingI can be just as big a fan boy or anti fanboy as I want to. A privilege you have abus... | |
| KEF 107.1 or B&W 802 S3 Matrix Hi Rhino,If you can't find a kube, you can use something like a miniDSP to simulate one. They weren't magic, just EQ. :) I only meant to say that if the idea of an EQ box add on does not make you feel weird, maybe you shoudl try it on your existi... |
