OC9 w/ AQ tonearm. Evil?
I just picked up an AT440 that I mounted on my PT-6 arm. My phono preamp (Bellari) has a rumble filter function that kicks in at 20 hz. This has always been left on. No freak outs at all on the midbass driver. Day 2 with new cartridge, I decide to... 
How to hang rugs.
Have a nice rug store sew a sleeve on the upper back of therug-on the side you want to hang it from. Then use a hollow pipe of about an inch, push the pipe through the sleeve and then simply hang the rug with two heavy duty hooks in studs. You may... 
speaker suggestion
I've got Sparks in a largish room also, but added an ACI Force sub, and the bass is killer now, plenty of gusto to pressurize a bigger room like yours. This particular sub mates beautifully with these quick little speakers. The soundstaging may al... 
Audio Physic Spark Question
Actually, the older Sparks have just a midbass and tweeter loaded up high in the cabinet, very similar to the Virgo II's minus the side firing woofers. What you see down low is a large port, which adds a little bass. If you are in a small room, I ... 
Audio Physic Spark Question
Hi Ekib, I have a pair of the original series Sparks, which have the same tweeter as the Virgo II's and a poly mibass dual voice coil woofer. Both of these speakers were designed by Joachim Gerhard, around 1996 or so. I have to say, for the 800 bu... 
Subs for Magnepan 2.7's
I picked up an ACI force sub, and absolutely love it. It is very fast and tight. I have AP sparks, which are fast speakers, and I cross over at 65hz, and this sub disappears into the soundstage. Kick drums are dead center and deep on rock & ro... 
Your favorite song from a RECENT cd release?
"Stitched up" Herbie Hancock and John Mayer from Herbie's "Possibilities" duet album. A little bass heavy, but really nice keys. 
Audio Physic Virgo II - subwoofer recommendations?
Hi Yegg, I recently picked up an ACI Force sub for my AP Sparks, original version. Obviously, I don't quite have the bass output that the Virgo II's exibit. I really wanted a musical sub above all else, and the ACI subs fit the bill big time. The ... 
Best movies last two years
Open Water. Can't say much about it, you just have to check it out. Pure terror 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Bathiki Kumalo (sic)-played on Graceland. VERY melodic player! 
Low priced giant killers
I just picked up a set of Audio Physic Sparks (original model), beacause I was looking for the same thing, basically. These babies simply jump into the room with a huge, spacious soundstage and a ton of detail. I can't imagine getting more speaker...
