| Vibration Source? I, too, have found issues with recordings. On one CD, there was a distinct low frequency 'thump'. I originally thought it to be a manufacturing defect on the CD, but when playing the same album via Qobuz, I heard the exact same 'thump' at the same... | |
| Replace panel or add subpanel? Zzzz.😔B | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... And, don't forget about harmonic distortion.-Especially odd and even ordered harmonics, which the human ear can distinguish and play a role in how the sound of the amplifier is perceived.Bob | |
| Bookshelf speaker for an apartment A pair of Vandy VLR's would be my suggestion. I use them in my office mounted near the ceiling at opposite corners and pointed at my desk.Don't let the diminutive size fool you, these speakers can rock with the right equipment/cables.Paired with a... | |

| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC +1 for Atma-Sphere amps.Super transparent and built to last.Also, great customer service, even if you buy used.Bob | |
| Bias adjustment @OP, That is a bummer. FWIW, I would contact Ralph Karsten (atmasphere).I'd bet dollars to donuts that he could help you diagnose the issue.Bob | |
| Distance between speakers - are the physics what they are? If you could post a pic, it would make things easier.Either post a link or put something on the Audiogon Virtual Systems or PM me.Bob | |
| How long is too long for interconnects? Good advice so far.XLR's for equipment supporting the AES Balanced standard is the way to go.-Cable coloration is minimized as a result.12' for speaker cables will introduce more cable coloration than shorter lengths. So, you might want to demo a ... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated amp... approx. $1200 range Belles Aria or an Ayre AX-7e.Two very capable integrated amps that can be found used near your price point.Bob |
