| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Ok I have one more thing to add on the idea of "simply swaping an active for a stock passive crossover" in a speaker...I seem to remember having not only talked with manufactures but actually been to speaker manufacturing facilities/plants, where ... | |
| Floor Stand or Wall surrounds? as a high end tweak and custom intaller/designer guy myself, who's also WAY into home theater, may I suggest that likely the "di-poles" would be most pleasureable for movies over the long run...that is if you aren't "anchored" in one "center seat"... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Hummmmm. I seen no reason why what you're saying shouldn't work, and maybe work well if pulled off corrrectly. I'll have to do more experimenting. I once took a pair of Thiel 2.3's and tried "bi-amping" them (*adding another set of pots, one to mi... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? Phlanoue, who's making custom active crossovers you can substitue for stock passive unit's in speakers, that still make the speaker "balance" sonically like it was ment to using the original passive?My couple of attemps over the years of bypassing... | |
| Will this work to tame bass boom? For the record, make no mistake, the PARC from rivesaudio is all analog!...not digital. | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Sounds like you might want to indeed try your Mac amp with those 7.2's, should you go that route. Then at some time, compare a slighly more extended/agressive amp for comparison, like the Krell is. I personally like the Pass amp's on the Thiels. X... | |
| Why would anyone want to listen to a harpsichord? Heck I like everything from Metalica to Barbara Streisand for crying out loud! Varriety is what makes it all interesting when the moods change. If I had to hear a piano every night I'd start to hate that instrument. Otherwise, I occasionally like ... | |
| My first house Just how bad of a room? 12Wx14Lx8H This room for 2 channel or HT?There are many "room mode calculators" on the net(www.guidetohometheatermag.com, etc) if you look. For fast reference, see the July issue of Stereophile Guide to HT (I think?)'s "home Theater ARchitect section" (other... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? I would like to adress what Trelja commented on, in that I understand an "audiophile's" desire to "tinker" and find combo's he feels best match his speakers/needs. Really however, whether an amp is built into a speaker or not makes no difference f... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Two clear, detailed, good imaging, well balance sounding speakers that are very musical sounding. I've sold Thiels for years, and have experience with the Revels somewhat, and heard at shows and clients homes as well.Both probably do best with sli... | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? Yeah hanging from pipes mounted to the ceiling Joist would be sonically much better, all things considered(should strongly consider finding best sonic placement "in space first"). simply letting the speakers "hang" wouldn't sound so good, unless t... | |
| who makes those under the sub bass traps? IMO, this thing is not really an effective tool, as it's possing to be from my impression. It looks like it just gets the sub off the floor. What that does is puts the sub acoustically higher in the room, yes, lessening the floor floor to ceiling ... | |
| Will this work to tame bass boom? Your main problem is likely a seating possition/speaker location cohesion/placment problem. You're either sitting in a 200hz peak, or you speakers, or both! Besides "not enough bass absorbtion" at that frequency(or others), this is likely your mai... | |
| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? You know, as someone who's been around the high end business for many years, and who is also an advocate of the "active speaker design" onthewhole, I personally think it comes down to marketing...just ask Bose. I think if you had a good product (a... | |
| Denon 2803 vs 3803 I agree...Now it's settled |
