| Help Choosing Speakers +1 for the Zu line.Very efficient, very clean, very detailed sound.If you buy direct, they have a trial period, too. So, you can evaluate them. | |
| Intermittent electrical noise in system Well, if it is intermittent, can you try to isolate it by turning off major appliances, or try to see if something like the fridge is causing this?I am no electrical engineer, but it sounds like something in your house is periodically running and ... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room Thanks for the link Pretender. I'd be interested in hearing these speakers myself- a trip to San Fran would be also be fun. Maybe this winter.... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room A quick Google for the Fritz website showed no Grove on sale. Are you buying these direct or from a dealer?Though Fritz's designs are intriguing, I think you really have to listen to them, or at least listen to both the Vandy's and Fritz's if you... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room Though I haven't heard the Vandy 1's (I own the 3a sigs), I would not be surprised that they sound as good as hifiman says. To add a little grist to the mill, instead of Tekton, I would ask that you consider Zu Audio. I have a pair of Omen Bookshe... | |
| Didn't know offers/counter offers did NOT include shipping There's nothing better than reasonable people when it comes to buying and selling on Agon.- And, I have met quite a few in my short time here. | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? A lot of good advice, so far.-Ghosthouse's advice of using a folding panel might be a way to reflect sound.-Dekay's advice of using small adjustments to speaker position should also help.Since you already notice an improvement from using 3 pillows... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? Ebm, the whole point is that the seller neglected to mention the fees.The OP (buyer) isn't being a cheapskate, just nonplussed that the seller is asking for the fees after he received payment.I guess the OP as 2 choices:Either ask for his money ba... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? OP, you say you have already paid half the Ppal fee.If so, and the original listing didn't mention anything regarding Ppal fees. Then, I think the seller should be gracious enough to accept what he has been paid-Even more gracious to refund you th... | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? Sure sounds like it to me. Why are you concerned? Given the non-symmetrical attributes of your room, I would adjust the balance of the left/right speakers to compensate for the difference. | |
| Refurbished vs New I have no experience with Arcam, so I cannot say it is a 'good deal'. But, If it is on Amazon, and the seller is an official dealer, I can't see how you could go wrong. I say this with regard to the safeguards that Amazon provides, should some... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables OP, what length are you looking for? | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? I believe, Ralph of Atma-Sphere, recommends using a Zero device for low impedance speakers.Here is a link http://www.atma-sphere.com/Support#FAQOn the right hand side, he discusses what you are asking about. The Zero link is highlighted in blue. | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables Zu are my new favorite cable. You can buy them direct or buy the earlier models at a discount on Ebay or Agon. I also use Cable solutions for my subs, but wouldn't rule them out for speakers. | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! A McCormack should work for you. Or, if you really want to go cheap, a pair of Adcom 555's monoblocked. |
