| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? There are high quality DIY speakers using top end drivers, solid cabinet plans, using competent crossover designs and components. Madisound has a few kits I have been interested in building but I don’t have the need, space, or motivation at the t... | |
| Footers under new speakers I posted before about StackAudio Auva 70 feet I use on wood floors for ease of moving due to thin felt on the bottom. Spikes are included in three sizes, select your preference, and can be added for carpet. I haven’t been able to find the forum gu... | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling I make my own using Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG cleaned up with Techflex and shrink wrap along with connectors of choice. I had a lot of long runs throughout that house and purchased in bulk. Purchased by the foot it is $1.89 at Parts Express or buy it a... | |
| Old SS amps All well over 20 years, the newest is a Bryston 6BSST. I also still use a Bryston 4BST, 7BST and 10B Sub crossover. | |
| Subwoofer with center channel @discnik That is the how I interpreted it. A subwoofer, used as a mid-bass in my example, functions just like a speaker with a built-in subwoofer, it just uses an external active crossover. If the OP wants to continue using the center channel they... | |
| OT: Espresso machines I’ve gone through a few machines, first some Starbucks labeled OEM machine over 30 years ago, next a couple E61 group machines, a single boiler Quick Mill Andreja Premium followed by a double boiler Izzo Alex Duetto IV Plus. My daughter uses the I... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? Not my favorite finish color, unlike the Diva Utopia in Gray felt that would be ideal in a light controlled room or theater. A gloss finish tends to have distracting reflections. The Ivory Felt on the Diva Mezza Utopia would still be better than e... | |
| Help with TT for my System I own a Signature 21 so am biased toward VPI Industries. Put me in the fanboy category that recommends what they own so take that into consideration. I traded in a VPI Prime at Gig Harbor Audio they may not have sold . If you are in the Seattle a... | |
| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? While I love a furniture grade wood finish, decor changes over the years have caused the wood finish color and type to clash with remodels and color changes. This happened to a beautiful set of speakers I still own and love but they have been move... | |
| Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers I posted the below reply on another forum. I didn't buy a vineyard but I visited a tasting room for a release yesterday and they had the Model 6.5 installed outside as well as a subwoofer. They have been out in extreme elements for many years and... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers I use DSP, external to my speakers, and through my Anthem STR Stereo Preamp. It has onboard Anthem Room Correction (ARC), and customizable bass manager for mono or stereo sub outs. Anthem Room Correction is all the treatment my room will get and i... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? I haven't listened to the Focal Sopra No. 1 but recently changed out Dynaudio Contour 20's to Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO's and am very happy with them. Huge improvement in a challenging room. I use them with two Scan-Speak 32W/4878T Revelator ... | |
| Subwoofer with center channel I run a subwoofer with my CC. Mid-bass or bass bin is a better description. I have thought about replacing my old Infinity Prelude Compositions; Mains - Model P-FR (2 ea.), and Center - P-CC, but they fit perfect in my small theater and still soun... | |
| Enough of the Stereophile futuristic statements about the Focal Diva Utopia I love the Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO's I have in my family room and have no interest in the Diva Utopia's but assume I would love the sound. The Diablos that replaced Contour 20's have been a big improvement in my room. For my basement theat... | |
| Projector comparisons What is your budget? Does the 4K to 7K include the screen? Does your room have complete light control? What size and type of screen are you considering? How far from the screen will you sit? These are some of the considerations that influence your... |
