| upgrade to the original birdland If your room is bare you need one of two things or both.Room treaments or furniture or both. Maybe a couple of fake plants wouldn't hurt either.It will atleast help. I assumed you had these speakers in a room with furnishings.Since you didn't ment... | |
| upgrade to the original birdland Well this is a big broad question Sean34.Not an ignorant one though. Maybe I should have said complicated passive crossover components in the signal path I do not favor. Since every speaker uses a form of filter..whether it's acoustic, electric ,m... | |
| upgrade to the original birdland Sean34,I have never heard this speaker before.From checking it out on the web. It's not much different from the speakers you already own. Take your time looking for the speakers,they are atleast 50% of the sound in a system IMHO. Noting you seem t... | |
| upgrade to the original birdland Houston we have a problem! Only two components left speakers or integrated.You might be over driving the speakers, the integrated or both. Most 1st order crossover speakers cannot be driven as you would a higher order design. The tweeter will try ... | |
| upgrade to the original birdland Well a NON OS DAC maybe the ticket. I know you were complaining about the female singers in another thread being zippy. Do you have anything else you could hook up to the integrated to understand what's going on? Is your Toshiba just a digital tra... | |
| taming female voice I've heard this before in three different systems.In all cases it was the speakers all along.It reminds me of the dreaded shout that certain wide range single drivers have.It seemed as though there was a rising impedance at the same time as a risi... | |
| Can a simple DIY volume knob replace a pre-amp? You can get high grade hand made stepped attenuators here Endler attenuators. The cost is relatively cheap compared to other companies but the quality is second to none.You just have to know what to look for in this hobby to keep from getting ripp... | |

| Can a simple DIY volume knob replace a pre-amp? Hi Waip7 ,You can call Jack Elliano of Electra print. He will explain to you how to do it. And where the parts can be bought.He makes his own transformers .He's a great guy to call just to pick his brain.He really knows his stuff.He's retired ..so... | |
| Can a simple DIY volume knob replace a pre-amp? Yes it is possible. Whether it sounds better than a active preamp ..depends on the rest of the system and your taste. Here's some info sent to me by a designer of tube equipment and transformers.This unit maybe better than the basic passive attenu... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? I don't know if these are the best..don't think that speaker exist. I also don't own them but the Veracity HT3a active speaker looks like a work of art with a smart crossover design. The regular HT3 is also nice eye candy. | |
| New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please. I certainly don't want anyone to feel I'm picking on their speakers.There are plenty of speakers that cost more and have worse horrific measurments than the Paradigm 100v3.One of my favorite planars(Magnepans) measures like crapola. It's panels ar... | |
| New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please. For a new blood I must commend you on your great hearing!You have accurately described what this speaker does on a frequency plot chart.There's a 2.5 Ohm load around 104 Hz. Also there's a huge boost in the upper bass output. The upper/mid treble ... | |
| New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please. IME the more power the better for this speaker.If you want to keep the speakers I would suggest 350wpc or better.You need a high current amplifier. Something like the Empirical Audio 585 Adcom..or just the basic one to start.One of the big Aragon ... | |
| Anyone geard new Blue Circle FtTH Integrated? WOW this looks like a cool integrated! I'm planning to test the waters with the mix of OP Amps and Octal tubes. From listening to 12au7 tubes and Op amps the sound was quite good. This integrated should have the speed and transparency of op-amps w... |
