| Speakers choices for AR REF-5/75s What is your source? Do you have room treatment? :) Erik | |
| Lexicon MC12 producing static noise only Time for service! :) Erik | |
| Monitor Audio I like MA a lot, but why not a Silver? The anodized mid/woofers are pretty sweet. | |
| Is my amp the problem? So can we assume you have bypassed the internal crossovers and replicated them in miniDSP? That's usually the easiest way to go. Test 1 driver with the passive crossover. Adjust miniDSP until your active filter looks the same. Repeat with next. Ma... | |
| Is my amp the problem? If you are using miniDSP, can we hope this means you have the ability to measure your response? Most likely it's an EQ problem, or sensitivity mismatch. I use OmniMic, but Room EQ Wizard also works. Best,Erik | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? Almost all speakers have varying impedances, and there is no 1 right way to judge what a speaker's "nominal" impedance is. Some by average, some by minimum. There's a great deal of spec doctoring or wishful thinking involved. You want to pick a t... | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? No worries, unless you live and breathe this stuff those graphs don't make a lot of sense. :-) | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? Looking at the measurements, here:http://www.stereophile.com/content/canton-reference-32-dc-loudspeaker-measurements#BSJ98rl0dgKIixXi....This is a very difficult to drive speaker. They have an impedance below 4 ohms for most of the bass up until a... | |
| Stereophile & Mytek Brooklyn - Better than it Measures I'm trying the FR right now. It is very similar, but I think I'm getting more imaging past the speakers. Have to listen more with known tracks. :) | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? For RCA, connect the shield and - together only on one end. Usually on the source. On the far end leave the shield unconnected, and connect the - to the outer RCA shell and the + to the center pin.It helps if you mark them before assembling. :) | |
| Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction? I like Dirac, especially the curves they use, but I do it all myself with a miniDSP and OmniMic.My main speakers are pretty flat at my listening location and only really use the EQ for the sub where it is glorious. :) Best,Erik | |
| Help me with the upgrade path Wait, GIK is pretty! And colorful. With top notch designer cloths and even custom printing! | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 - too much speaker for room size? Hi CJ!So the bass issue has more to do with the bass extension and output levels than speaker size. The big ugly dragons all dwell in the lowest 2 octaves of a room. In a rectangular room that size you are definitely going to have the opportunit... | |

| Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare? Also, imaging and clarity are not easily discernible with a single speaker. You need to hear the stereo presentation. If you do hear a difference, put a reasonable financial value on it. Does the air around the strings really make you want to put ... |
