| How to deal with a drop ceiling that eats bass? Sorry to rain on AUDIOKINESIS'S parade in regards to his info on "dirrectional bass". But that advice is about at WRONG AND TECHNICALLY INCORRECT as I've ever heard from an audio forum post! There is no technical, physical, or practical data avail... | |
| Which sub would you choose? My first thought on the subs you last mentioned, is "great for music potentially, but no grunt for HT!" Everyone's experience here may be different, but I think the woofers you're considering will be more designed with music as a priority in mind.... | |
| Whats up with Merlin? Other than a long time in ordering speakers and turn-around time, you shouldn't have a problem getting speakers, parts, or even feedback! YOu can usually talk to someone or they'll get back with ya. The TSM'M's sound very nice with the right gear,... | |
| How to deal with a drop ceiling that eats bass? My experience is that you live with it, or better yet get rid of it! Drop ceilings do what Rives said, and are an EASY source for noise and rattles. They suck up highs and some mid, and bass goes right through them. How high is the SOLID ceiling a... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Vs Sonus Faber I think the results you would largely get from these sepeakers would depend on what you want out of them ultimately. If you never play speakers above a low threshold, and dynamic authority and weight are not too necessary for your tastes, then you... | |
| Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening Yes Scottweb, you will get better sonics all around by adding another amp to your existing Denon receiver, for sure! I would recommend doing EQUAL POWER all around for best results, ESPECIALLY KEEPING EQUAL AMPLIFICATION(QUALITY) TO THE CENTER ALO... | |
| Which sub would you choose? So now, just for curriosity's sake "Rivercitylad", I would like to know if you STILL plan on buying a Watchdog woofer? Also, has any of what has been said above caused you to possibly rethink your choices?...currious.Really, a good woofer(or more.... | |
| What are you thankful for? Amen, and THX to all who posted here...well said! | |
| How can an active preamp possibly help? I like to simplify the ACTIVE VS PASSIVE (or dirrect source to amp) scenario like this:...with out being technical, it's usually like the difference between a HONDA Civic that can over rev it's engine and RPMs while going 120mph, vs a Turbo Porche... | |
| What prevents DIY speakers to become the ultimate? I've heard my share of DIY desings in the past. Yes, it never ends up amounting to much, as it take more than just some good parts to make a good sounding speaker!(ALL AUDIO ENTHUSIESTS TAKE NOTE, AS THE SAME APPLIES TO THE THEORY OF GETTING GREAT... | |
| McCormack vs. Pass Labs I've EXTENSIVE experience with HANDS ON time with both these amps and the speakers. First, the X150 is a better amp than the DNA1 delux. It's possibly 75-100% better overal(run from it's balance inputs!..not the RCA's). Then again it's twice the m... | |
| Unshielded Speakers,How Far? For the record, you should keep em at least 2ft from a CRT. More precisely however, you should place the speakers WHERE THEY SOUND BEST!!!! In case you didn't know, as most people just STICK SPEAKERS where they THINK they should go, you should fin... | |
| Which sub would you choose? As someone who's Sold Wilson for years, I think what you have here is a case where you can EASILY spend way more money than you'll possibly get back sonically if you're not careful here! Bass is the single most system set up factored, room placeme... | |
| Suggestion for an Audio Store in London Hi Mike. I was in London a little over 2 years ago. And there's quite a few higher end shops to my supprise really! It appears England in general is quite a Hi-fi friendly place from which to shop! ...or window shop if that's your preference. My s... | |
| CD Player with volume or preamp Peter, are you considering not doing an active preamp for this guy, who's into loud rock??? The dynamics will suffer according via the PASSIVE ROUTE!!!! I'd do the preamp for him for sure...that's me however |
