| Suggestions please!! --Need to replace vintage Audio Research VT 200 Tube Power Amp If you liked old ARC gear, Pass is not a bad option at all. I'd suggest you compare it to Ayre and Luxman before choosing though. | |
| Is my room size going to be a problem for speakers? I'm not sure what you mean by room correction, but 10' square is a challenge, unless you do very near field. Like 2' in front of your chair. :) Otherwise, if you want a more traditional presentation, your challenges are both bass and room reflect... | |
| Two medium size woofers Vs One big size woofer There's no substitute for surface area and maximum linear displacement in absolute terms. The idea of small drivers being faster is rarely proven. Two 8" drivers have about the surface area of a single 10" driver but often with lower impedance. ... | |

| Devore O/96 putty/adhesive? I'm sure you could ask them if you've had them fail for you. :) | |
| End of the World system I really like the Mytek combo, since I have a Brooklyn already. This lets me pick up a big heavy turntable and put sculptures on it, since I have no idea how to set one up. ;-) | |
| Possible ac line static. I meant "too close" | |
| Vibrating speakers Imagine making a speaker attempting to get the same sonic behavior as a violin. Well, that's great, but how do you deal with a drum, a sax, the human voice, bells? Yes, some instruments are made of wood, but many are not. The speakers should ... | |
| HELP- Focal Speakers and Component Upgrades??? Why don't you go with the upstairs and treat the room? I strongly, strongly encourage you to solve your acoustics issues first, which will make you want to make entirely different choices. Talk to GIK acoustics. | |
| Quick roon question Roon has the concept of a server and bridge. The server manages your library and tells the bridge what to play. Your music library would have to be available to the server, and if you ran it on your laptop it would make sense to put the music on ... | |
