| Any one want a laugh???? Sean, you've forgotten about Cerwin-Vega--their top-of-the-line's usually carry 100+ db sensitivities and no less than 4 ohm load for $700 a pair (3 way w/ 15" low frequency driver). 100 half decent watts should get your there. | |
| Any one want a laugh???? Consumer report's audio issue is always a good one too. They state that you get no audible advantage with separates versus a receiver. And this wasn't implicitly stated, they flat out said it. I think they acknowledged it measured better (across t... | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? I've always felt the same way, that alot of speakers don't completely disappear, at least my limited experience. I've always considered my listening rooms less than ideal even with acoustic treatment. But aside from the significant effects positio... | |
| Modications to the Dynaco ST 70? Check the older threads, I know someone asked about the same thing. avahifi.com does them as doug said and then I've seen another somewhere that simply replaces the stock board with all updated modern parts. I believes its soundvalves.com. There i... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? -make sure components are well ventilated and separated-seperate spkr., ic., and pwr. cables-basic acoustic treatment (judicious placement of furniture)-Foam rings around tweeters (if applicable or benefits)-dig around on older threads | |
| Tone wood The one thing important about veneers on speakers is to do the inside of the cabinet too. The reason is that alot of particle boards will warp overtime when exposed to air moisture and other elements and the veneer seals the particle board (MDF, H... | |
| Do they have passive 6 or 5 channel pre-amps I don't think one would be a good idea period, which is probably why few exist, if any (none to my knowledge to try an answer). In any system with a .1 channel there's going to be a rather long run of interconnect (line level) to get to the subs i... | |
| Feedback on CARY products.... I don't think you'll get any feedback with the Cary's : ). Actually I don't know what they are doing these days. And technically I believe there is feedback in any amplifier design somewhere. I've heard one or two of there's and wasn't too impress... | |
| Best three way cross over? Ehider, in response to the zobels, are they ever used when a speaker is being driven with an electric crossover? And more specifically what do they do to improve performance? I've only seen them used with high capacitance speaker cables like Goert... | |
| Best three way cross over? This site http://www.sound.au.com/ has a very lengthy article on the merits of biamping/triamping loudspeakers using active crossovers. It also has a project on designing a very nice phase coherent 4th order linkwitz riley crossover. Marchandelec.... | |
| Homemade floor protectors -- advice needed I used some of the dedicated floor protectors for my spiked speakers stands on wood floors--I needed the extra heigth in addition to keeping the landlord happy. I left the plastic on the undersides so I could slide the speaker stands aroud for pos... | |
| cable as tone control A new/better walkman? Or buy a real tone control unit. | |
| What is the most efficient speaker? Thank you for the last paragraph slartibartfast; my sentiments. I didn't realize the amp had that much power either. Which would make most speakers really a fine match-the more accurate the better. If there was anything to pay attention to in sele... | |
| B W Nautilus 802 - How much power? There's more to it than power in an amp, power is part of it. Its just that the speakers impedance/resistance isn't constant--it varies with frequency so any single value of the speakers resistance is a simplification (unless the speaker has an ex... | |
| What is the most efficient speaker? From what I hear Raven builds some very nice ribbon tweeters with 95db to 100db efficiency and they mate well with PHL drivers, some of their mid/woofers have 93db efficiencies. E-speakers.com has images of both and kits, if the diy route is somet... |
