| Snell C-III Snell used a lot of electrolytics in his crossover, which are all past their end of life. Completely worthwhile replacing with film - BUT!!! Really strongly suggest you measure the ESR of what you are replacing. Those old wet caps were a lot highe... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? One of my favorite GIK products is the soffit traps. In particular, for corner traps, really wide coverage in small footprint, and for an apartment dweller, easy to stack a pair in each corner. If you are attempting deep bass, or have 2 way speake... | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. I have nothing against the Magnesium Seas line, but I have to be a fanboy and plug the Scanspeak Revelators which is what I use. Warm, and in the right (i.e. large!) cabinet, have amazing bass for the size. If you are doing a 2-way I highly recomm... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? GIK Acoustics by far offer the most effective and best value. Also great advice. | |

| Bloom air around instruments A quiet room. Great room acoustics. A very good DAC. | |
| Cana anyone recommend a plastic wrench that doesn'e scratch the metal? Hand tight is fine.If you have trouble with the connector holding, you may need softer connectors/spring loaded styles. Very hard spades don't grip well. | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. I find that the most discerning/challenging speakers have a low impedance point in the 100-150 Hz range. The Trym's impedance in this range is nice at ~ 8 Ohms or higher throughout the bass. Should be an easy load, with plenty of strength there. B... | |
| Upgrading System...Help/opinions on Parasound and others? I like Parasound.Never heard the classic line. Skip the P5 if you find it used. Go for the P7 or newer. | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. Then they require complex sharp slope crossovers to try and deal with their heavy break up modes. Which makes their problems...well... to keep it country simple..almost worse. I think Joseph Audio's use of magnesium drivers shows this is possib... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I'm thinking of my crazy uncle Russel, who, trying to sell an MG, painted it with a brush.It was horrible. | |
| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. Hi everyone:To be clear, I was trolling a bit in good humor, but also wanted to point out that we pay a lot more attention to the tweeter than any other driver.Scanning old posts lots of people are posting about tweeter materials, type, etc. It is... | |

| The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker. But conversely, if you could only use 1 driver in the Model 7 .... it wouldn't be the tweeter. | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Funnily enough i sometimes get the impression that quite a few here think a sum such as this would be chump change. It is true. There are some here who think being an audiophile is about how much you spend in your system, while some of us are abo... |
