| Speakers 2K- 3K range used or new Sounds like you're in an interesting possition. Well I'm very familiar with all the speakers recomended here. And I can mostly say that the majority of these speakers are not all that strongly dynamically overall! Yeah they're ok, but play rock th... | |
| Audio Research LS-15 vs LS-16 I've had the LS15 in my system, and the LS16 I've owned. There is probabably a 10% improvement in the 16 over the 15 in stock condition. If you upgrade tubes, you'll et better results with either FOR CERTAIN. The 16 has a bit more room for potenti... | |
| How can an active preamp possibly help? Are you saying you're going straight line level to your amp? Does your cd player have a digital volume control for varying the gain output? Or does your amp have volume control capability?Either way, I'VE NEVER heard ANY DIGITAL VOLULME CONTROL, o... | |
| ARC LS 25MKl vs LS 25MKll....????? SAME STUFF, DIFFERNT DAY!!!...especially when you consider diffent tube options! Really, if you're considering SWEATTING over debating between the two, It's a SIDEWAYS move at best! If you have the MK I I wouldn't sell it for MK II!! There's going... | |
| $1,000 - What amp? Even if you found out from Michael Green himself, you still won't know what sounds the best to you, with your gear, and your cables, in your room, for your tastes, until you try some different amps!! YOu'll STILL have to experiment with amps...tha... | |
| I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH Actually, and truthfully, if you are doing the CORNER PLACMENT THING, you're dealing with alot of issues, not just TV INTERFERENCE! The interference with the TV will be a problem if your speakers are casting REFLECTION POINTS back to your ears fro... | |
| What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11 Ideally, yes, you're going to have, and already do have, tremendous bass response challenges in that room! (if it's a closed-in 10x11x9!). IF those are the true boundary dimmensions, you'll be hard pressed to not have a boomy sonic signature bello... | |
| Which Speakers? New or used at $2k? That makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!Used, as a standard passive full range speaker in a good sized room, the NHT 3.3's are going to be hard to beat at under $2k used. There are slightly more rined and detailed speakers out there, but ... | |
| B&W 804's Vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven I've sold both lines, and I don't think the 804's sound very good overal! I like em quite well actually, especailly bi-amped. I wouldn't necessarily rate the Bethoven's any higher overll either. But then I'm not a big Vienna Fan. Personal taste wi... | |
| Q? about sub out from my HT processor. Higher frequencies will in no way dammage the sub! Your problem would be deep bass going to smaller drivers, or lower frequencies not being handled well by smaller drivers. But in your case, you'd never have such problems, even if feeding it a ful... | |
| Merlin Speaker Placement No personal offense meant here, or any dirrect criticisms intended, but It never stops amazing me how FEW audio enthusiests and "AUDIOPHILES" alike actually know how to set up speakers in a room! My experiences suggest that only a scant, yes scant... | |
| Need monitors with a BIG sound i think you can see from all the postings here, you'll pretty much have to stumble on a good sollution from trial and error! EVERYONE has different gear, and that's the way it is. You might take a few ideas and run with em, and that's as good as i... | |
| Trying to improve two channel - direct or preamp? My experience is that you should by a better ACTIVE preamp, and loop your pre/pro throught the 2 channel preamp's aux input or processor input, etc! Then, you;ll be running your cd player into the 2 channel preamp for music only. This is the easie... | |
| Merlin Speaker Placement there is no specific placement parameters in regards to "what's best"! Each room is different, and each seating placment commands different corresponding speaker locations accordingly, for each room and set up! You could put your VSM's 32" or what... |
