| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Great analogy, Mapman. | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? The current going through speaker cables is negligent for a human, though a small mammal, like a mouse, might be discomforted. | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I agree, that buying over the net makes things harder, but, speaking for myself, and perhaps for you, too, having had time to 'listen with our ears', I think this puts us ahead of the rest. We know what we like and know when we hear it.Pe... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I think Bombaywalla was responding to the Geoffkait post.Also, I am I am close to your age and remember, too, all the audio mags with lots of specs. I also chased my tail those days, but was lucky enough to live in NY, where I could liste... | |
| Type of flooring in a listening room? I have never been a fan of wall to wall carpet for aesthetic reasons, though it probably is best for sound, in your case, as you are located on a slab. If you did the vinyl flooring, I would add an area rug. In addition, I would add wall coverings... | |
| Bi-amping Rules I, too, considered bi-amping, but now think a pair of Monoblocks would be a better way to go. Introducing 2 different amps is a recipe for trouble/disapointment as there are too many variables. | |
| Room Acoustic treatment suggestions, ideas & recommendations A pic of your room would help due to the complexity of your description.I would also contact a local B and W dealer, or any high end audio dealer to help you with your project. It would be money well spent considering they do this stuff all the ti... | |
| vandersteen 2sigs to magnepan .7 good move? I still think you should add a sub. My room is about the same as yours and by adding the subs, everything sounds more real and integrated. | |
| vandersteen 2sigs to magnepan .7 good move? Vandys and Maggies seem to share a lot of similar sound qualities.I remember hearing Maggies years ago and I still remember them positively.I ended up with the Vandy 3a sigs and 2w subs.In my opinion, you are going to need subs. Can you get a pair... | |
| New Room (from House to Apt) advice wanted on minimizing complaints I think Cymbop has the right idea.Being polite and respecting of others can get you far. | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens Beernut, enjoy your sub. I hope you can get a second, it really smooths things out. Those Maggies are fine speakers.When a pair of Zu Omens or Superfly's come through Agon at a good price, I think you should try them. They really are pretty sweet. | |
| Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K As a Vandy owner, I think they are one of the best buys in hifi. But, to get a smaller footprint than the Zu’s, you are probably looking at the Vandy 1’s, or VSM. Both of which are going to need a sub.The Zu Omen are pretty small for a floorstandi... | |
| Need advice Schiit does make preamps (SYS)and an integrated amp (Raganarok), which I will probably end up buying. They also have a 30 day trial period, which isn't bad for the price. | |
| Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens Gsm, buying them used saves almost 50% than new. For that much money, you can resell them if you truly hated them, which I doubt you would-they really do live up to their reputation.Beernut, good move with the sub upgrade. I would suggest Vanderst... | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Goldprintaudio, I am in the US. Do you have or have listened to the Line Magnetic? I am not a tube guy, but am open to new stuff. |
