Room is about 15x21 and 7.5 ft ceiling.The Focal speakers are ported with two ports on each o... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater Thought I would mention the setup I went with and have been quite happy with the results. I have a Classe CT-SSP pre/pro, and while separating my home theatre and two channel stereo into two independent systems I decided to try using two Focal Sol... | |
| Interesting (or not) dilemma +1 nrenter,I also had a problem with over ripe bass, eventually solved my issue by plugging speakers ports. It did require other adjustments, changed speaker cables and power cord to integrated amp, but after some time adjusting to new sound, much... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 About one year ago I bought a Moon 600i, and I have Focal L&R Utopia Be loudspeakers. I have not heard the Sopras so don't know how they would compare, but the 600i with my Focals had (what I consider) a rather warm sound.I spent most of the p... | |
| Musiclink cables sound better reversed I believe that the shield inside the cable is attached to ground only on one end, that being the end the arrow points to. When you reverse direction with signal flow going opposite of arrows your only changing witch component (sending or receiving... | |

| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I have a Merrill-Williams 101 (first edition) that I bought used a few years ago with the clamping system, which was an option at that time. I have found that as far as sound reproduction goes using the clamps has an effect somewhat similar to plu... | |
| Benz Glider SL or SH ? I looked up your phono preamp and I'm not sure of the version you have, but the one I looked at showed MC gain at 60dB or 66dB. I have a Benz Glider SL into a Fosgate Signature phono preamp that lists MC gain at 60dB, and it seems to have enough g... | |
| Jl audio fathom f212v2 noise and hum Hi esthios13, A couple years back I bought a Classe CT-2300 power amplifier and found the amp made a rhythmic hum sound. The sound came from the amp not through the speakers, turned out that my 60" Panasonic Plasma television was introducing DC vo... | |
