| Full-Range to Monitors I have gone back and forth. I started with Miller & Kriesel satellite / subwoofer sets, then 2.5 way, now listen to a large custom 2-way "stand mount" with a sub for movies. What I have learned is that the smaller speakers stay away from the b... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Fritz. Last show I went to he had among the best sound, was praised by musicians associated with Blue Coast Records. Very high quality parts at reasonable price points. http://www.fritzspeakers.com/He will basically whip something up or change it ... | |
| speaker advice please Sound stage is often improved not by speakers but by room acoustics. We just had a thread on this, but you may be a good candidate for 2.5 way speakers. Slim towers with 2 woofers and a tweeter. Many brands offer some version of this. The advantag... | |
| Basic system for living room I should point out, if you get it and it's not bright enough, Fritz can alter that. One of the nice things about getting a custom pair. | |
| Basic system for living room Get a custom pair from Fritz. Let him know you need them tuned specifically for a bookshelf. http://www.fritzspeakers.com/He can whip something up out of quality parts for about that much. At the last audio show I went to, the musicians I talked ... | |

| Help please So wait, if you swap the speaker location, the problem follows the speaker, or the problem stays in place?Hearing tests are good too! One thing that goes on with me is I get far too much wax buildup, quickly. I have to rigorously use a body wash a... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? I can think of a few things.1 - Microphone placement - Audience, stage or in the case? This all affects what is in the recording to begin with. 2 - Bass - This is why so many feel subwoofers can add so much to music. 3 - Radiating patterns. Piano'... | |
| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please So, my previous reply was predicated on the understanding that your room acoustics were already well taken care of? If not, absolutely seek out GIK Acoustics first. In general, brightness can also be helped by adding floor coverings and absorbers ... | |
| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please Wireworld. Pretty dark cables, but great imaging. | |
| vandersteen 2w subwoofer Also, I"m not sure what your preamp is. The Parasound P5 and P7 have integrated bass management. That's how I roll. Best,E | |
| vandersteen 2w subwoofer Hi Dainotto,You can’t damage a subwoofer by feeding it too much high frequencies. :) Yes, you can use your own DSP / EQ to act as the HP filter for your main speakers. Vandersteen is a 1st order fanatic, but THX usually uses sealed satellites with... | |

| Hafler DH500 I think you should listen to Bryston, but I prefer Parasound. The A21 and A23 are superb. To your own ear and heart be true though! Erik |
