| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @rvpiano Have you tried a statically sound testing procedure?. You have to have someone not tell you which cable is used and play the same track/track section over an over again in the same room at same SPL level and collect data. And if you coul... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @caphill I personally will not invest in a $4k receiver (i.e both AV processor and amp). And specially when there are no measurements for the amp section of the receiver. Why even bother. No one really know what they are getting. You are right it ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @djones51 I am preparing to ask this question. Right now I am trying the speaker manufacturer / dealer to get me answer to the question "what the lowest impedance the speakers can dip to". Every speaker manufacturer should publish impedance vs fre... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @djones51 thanks but the axes of the plot they have are not readable to me. Does the impedence of the speaker ever dip below 4 ohm. This is not clear to me.https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/reviews/ahb2-driving-pmc-ib2s-studio-monitors | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution Doesn’t your avr have distance or SPL setting per speaker ?. You could use that to compensate. I think at a crude level this is what room correction will automatically calibrate for you among other things perhaps. | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @jdub071 Denon AVR-X2400H is not even rated for 4 Ohm. As long as it works for you that is good. What levels do you listen to normally?. | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @prof @djones51 But how does one reason about it, like maximum current drawn, material, gauge, length and contacts etc of the cable. There is some evidence of a good cable (mostly better AWG, for speaker and length etc) to make a difference(may b... | |
| New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer? @jbrrp1 Is it possible to boil it down to materials, gauge and manufacturing technique / innovations?. The price for cables is all over the place. Just wondering if you can help. Thanks | |
| Best headphone amp for classical music CDs? The impedance ranges from 150 to 380, but sensitivity is 105 dB. So an amp that is fine with the impedance range and get clean 0.5 to 2 watts?. Did I get this wrong?. If you are using the single ended converting them to balanced will help. Since h... | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution @atownkeep I do not understand the concern about option 1 you have. When you say "Sound is going to sound different from the rears and center than the front left and rightThoughts: This seems like the best solution because my 2 channel listening w... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. @lightfighter2018 In my own limited experience one can setup a HiFi for less than $4k and sometimes dare I say even with good speakers. Of-course used is the best way.My electronics setup is less than $4k. My current setup is Tidal/Flac Mac USB -&... | |
| Which upgraded fuse is recommended for an Onkyo and Elac setup? Your speakers are approximately less than 85 dB / 1 W / 1 Metre and 6 ohm stable. Which means they need lot more power than a 92 or 96 dB 8 ohm speakers.Despite what you think you are hearing get a 200 Watt 2 channel amp that is stable till 4 ohm... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers @jdub071 What speakers do you have? Your experience depends on the speakers. The op here has speakers that are quite a value for money and need good amount power to get them singing.These days one can get excellent 2 or 3 channel amp with great me... | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/three-ways-to-add-a-subwoofer-crossover-to-your-two-channel-system/I am sure u read the above link.i am going to use Legacy Wavelet’s DAC + Preamp + Crossover . You can check with Legacy if the preamp section can b... | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers If you like Onkyo for rest of the capabilities then just get a high powered low cost 5 channel amp that can do 2 ohm stable like ATI AT525NC. Small form factor , no heat, excellent measurements. You can spring for newer hypex models but they will ... |
