| Revel F-30/ large or small Keep in mind also, that a speaker maker has perfected (relatively) his crossover points, which is most usually not going to be the case with a subwoofer crossed over to a pair of speakers, in time, phase, slope, level, etc. This also adds to the p... | |
| Integrated Tube Amp vs adding a Passive Preamp HEre's what you need to do...Change as little variables as possible, first of all! If you change too many things at once, you won't know what you have/had!I would pick up a passive preamp and try it(although it's not any different mostly than your... | |
| Revel F-30/ large or small Here's the deal......Most subwoofers are designed with a lower "Q-factor", meaning they aren't as tightly controlled/damped as most speaker system woofers("as is"). some sub manufactures go out of their way to make musical "tight", well controled ... | |
| Bryston 4B SST vs SIM Audio W-5 Generally I find the Bryston/Lexicon stuff a little sterile and plain/processed sounding. I think the Sim stuff is sweeter, more pristine, extended, airy, and more tonaly right! I never cared much for Lexicon/Bryston, and think they never made any... | |
| ProAc Response 1SC vs. Revel M20 I had the 1SC's for a short while. I also heard the M20's on an occasion or two in other systems. My impression was that the M20's were a more complete accurate sounding speaker. My impressions of the 1sc's was one of warmth, with nice midrange, b... | |
| Thiel replacements "double reflection"...I'm sorry, this is a mistake. I mean you're hearing a "double image" with the reflected info(assuming bare wall next to your right speaker) coupling with the direct sound from your speaker back to your ear! If left unchecked,... | |
| Are the performance of separates worth the price? Dido!...I just love these posts(no offense)!..."what's better, a tube amp or SS amp?"..."what's better, bookshelve speakers or floorstanders?"..."What's the best speaker for acoustic guitar?"..."What's the best car for driving to work!?"This stuff... | |
| What makes your Home Theater system Tvad brings to mind something I've known for along time from working in and around the audio video business, and that's that I think most people really like to SHARE THEIR MOVIE/THEATER EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS!...after all, most of us(I exclude the... | |
| Review: B & W Loudspeakers Nautilus 805 Monitor (Ttrulis)"...There is virtually no bass" (refering to 805's)I would like to add that Ttrulis's exposse on the 805's is one of AN IMPROPER SET UP!....TYPICAL!!!!...AS USUAL.The "no bass" is a problem with (ONE) your speaker placment, and (two) your... | |
| Thiel replacements I've sold/owned Thiel's for years. What you have MAINLY, is an acoustical/system setup challenge!....I garantee it.You are dealing with what so many (ok, most) people deal with every day. Their setup, speaker and seating possition, and their relat... | |
| What makes your Home Theater system Yeah I think there are varying levels of "involvement" and "desire" when it comes to many peoples home theater. I tend to think I'm "really into it" when it comes putting together a quality HT system, and I've done a lot.What I was getting at, is ... | |
| Subwoofer problem An easy way to check is to run all your speakers as full range, and connect some speaker wire "speaker level" to your sub from your main amp/speaker posts!!! (so you're not connected via "line level", bur rather "speaker level") I believe your sub... | |
| Speakers for extremely close listening Might I suggest a "supprise entry"? The Little Infinity TSS750 mini shows some superb promise with the right gear!!!They are very detailed, uncolored, dynamic(yes!), and great immagers! I think these would be wonderful with tube gear especially! A... | |
| re-finish of dunlavy speakers? The Dunlavy's are descent speakers. Sold em for years(sound in the ear of the beholder. They had speed, dynamics, coherency, and pace going for them,that's certain. But as a speaker line, let's face it, they weren't anything super highly coveted b... | |
| What sub woofer to for this system & room????????? The only probable 10" "slimmer footprint" sub for that application would be one of the "cube" powered sub's (Sunfire, Velodyne, etc) or like NHT Sub 2, etc.Any particular reason you want a "small footprint sub?"With this level of system, you shoul... |
