| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings My advice would be to start with some inexpensive foam panels, just to experiment. You can get 4 x 8 sheets at Home Depot, 1.5" thick, for around $10. This would allow you to temporarily hold or nail the panels in different areas and test the resu... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Just an update . . . I sent in my amps to Classe via my dealer, and just got them back. So far so good after one night of listening. Armin mentioned replacing the shield wires, and replacing a resistor and cap, which he said wouldn't affect the un... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Ketchup,thanks for your reply. Good to hear that everything worked out with Classe- it is nice to know that they stand behind the product!In my case I am using the XLR inputs, not the RCA's. I suppose the input board/shields that you mention are c... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Hello Ketchup,I have a similar problem. I have Classe CAM 200 mono's. I have narrowed the problem down to one of the amps. In my case the volume doesn't entirely cut out, but when it goes, it goes down to about 1/4 of the normal amp's volume. It j... | |
| Martin Logan Ascent i vs. Odyssey Thanks for all the replies.I did end up getting the Odysseys. They are pretty well broken in now, and I am very impressed with the transition to the mid-bass- a fuller sound vs. what I remember of the Ascents. I am still playing with room placemen... | |
| PS Audio owners difference between Multiwave1and2 I found more detail and depth with the MW2. I have a tube preamp that used to chatter internally a lot with some of the MW1 settings. The MW2 is much quieter in that respect (I use P4 and TUB as my favorite settings). You only have 5 settings with... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? You mentioned your Thiel 3.6's. I have a pair also, and have recently moved to a dedicated room with 4 dedicated power circuits. While I am hearing new details and clarity, I (and especially my wife) am being irritated more by the edginess of the ... | |
| Thiel replacements Hi, I thought Drubin's question was a good one (how long have you had them, did you sour on them). I am wondering if you had a chance to hear them before buying on the system that the seller had (i.e. did it sound better in that setup?). I think a... | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings the panel looks something like a roof truss- 18' wide, because that is the width of the room. 33" high, because that is the distance from the lowest part of the ceiling (9' above ground) to the peak of the cathedral part. I looked at your photo, a... | |
| Room Lens at CES? I didn't see any either . . . | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings Theaudiotweak, it looks like you were right on with your suggestion about treating the upper walls. I just got finished building more panels for the front wall behind the speakers. These run along the border between the angled ceiling and the wall... | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings To answer Newbee's question, I get the flutter echo pretty much everywhere in the room. I did have my wife clap at the speakers while I sat in the listening chair- pretty much the same results as anywhere else.I have a plush carpet with 1/2" pad t... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 Tom,to answer your question, I have a feeling it is more of a "McCormack vs. Classe" thing, vs. the benefit of a monoblock. I can't remember if the McCormacks of that era were able to double down, and they were at a lower price point than the Clas... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 I upgraded from a McCormack DNA1 (175 watts) to a pair of Classe CAM200 monoblocks (200 watts). The difference was huge- better bass, better resolution of details in the high end, sweeter. It seems like the ability to 'double down' (400 watts into... | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show I too was taken by the Blue Circle/Martin Logan Ascent setup. The Innersound room was fantastic, but the sweet spot for the speakers was incredibly small (1 person wide only). The Alon/ Antique Sound Labs Hurricane/ CJ 17 demo was also great. Fina... |
