| Separate subs for bass management & LFE in a surround set up I think you are over thinking it. Much more important will be the room tuning, and bass traps. After that, precise integration with your other speakers. Do that well and you will not be able to tell whether you are using subs or not, nor where the... | |
| Modifying Philharmonic 3 crossovers Resistors: MillsInexpensive, very good, dead accurate and thermally stable. I'm not a fan of Duelund's as they are deliberately not thermally stable. No thank you. :) As for bypassing,that's what I was discussing with CMR caps above 5 uF. Use a 0.... | |
| Speaker Cable Advice @teeshotI meant that it’s not a pure win. You do get better imaging, but you sacrifice mid to treble. I guess if your speaker/ amp combo is naturally bright, it is win-win! Best,E | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? Who said anything about a 5 channel amplifier? :) I run 5 monoblocks. Best,E | |
| Speaker Cable Advice Wireworld is a trade. It is dark, but phenomenal imaging. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? +1 Tim. George has trouble making the case that a particular technical issue (i.e. dead time) results in a particular sonic aberration common to many Class D amplifiers. As I may have mentioned, I’ve had a number of audiophiles in my home (when it... | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? Hey @mzkmcxv I don't know about their amps, but I've had their processors and, sadly, they were easily spanked by 7 year old Theta processors.They sound exactly like what you'd expect a Japanese EE with no musical background to produce. Very quie... | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? AVSForum.com has many suggestions. My personal list : Top tier: The one made by DTS, Datasat? ThetaClasseAnthem Followed by: YamahaMarantzAnd really disappointing : Onkyo Emotiva | |
| Curious about running a tube pre into a SS integrated A lot of this benefit comes from driving hard to drive speakers, like ESLs.If you have reasonably flat and high impedance speakers, tube amps are less disadvantaged. | |
| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? First, make sure you have played music for at least 72 hours through it. It may not help, but at least give it the benefit of the doubt. If you still don't like it, I highly recommend the Mytek Brooklyn which is never harsh, but doesn't fully open... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? -10 George and Calendar for being less than truthful, mischaracterizing other Audiogon members, including myself and projecting. I've never attacked you personally, show me a place where I have, George? Nor have I thought your war of web links was... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins Htm72 For the money, stick with what you have, but if you are wanting to spend a little cash, consider room acoustics as a better investment. Talk to GIK Acoustics, and spend the same you were going to otherwise. Best,E | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I've marked your posts @celander for being disparaging as well as inappropriate characterization of what I have done. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Erik, yes, I’m George. I will always be George, I believe this is true. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Celander,Are you George? You should mark George's entire presence in Audiogon regarding Class D for review. We've been absolutely patient, open minded and requesting of more information. He's routinely obliquely insulted, and disparaged a number o... |
