| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I think this is one of the most important threads on Audiogon for all to read and understand.I have purchased a Velodyne DD15 (should arrive in about 4 weeks), and when funds allow I will try adding another for true stereo low freq. I'll experimen... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Jungsan - I've seen the Sophias in a metallic-blue color that looks stunning and would be my first choice at this point. It might be the sebring blue on their website. The cosmetics of Wilson speakers were an aquired taste for me. They seem strang... | |
| Etymotics Vs Shure High End Headphones CwLondon - I don't know if you're still looking for info about this, but I was in the same boat as you about 6 months ago.I first bought the Ety 4S based on Internet reviews and popularity. I HATED them. Least favorite audio purchase I've ever mad... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Jungsan - It seems as though you've finally heard the Sophias for what they are. Congrats! I'm currently saving up for them. Simply the most accurate and well balanced pair of under 20K speakers that I've heard. They make any B&W sound like a ... | |
| Help with Kilpsch KLF30 rattling cabinet My first pair of speakers were the klipsch klf20. Heard them at tweeter - what a great sound. DYnamic as hell. I don't think tweeter carries anything as good as these anymore. (except the MLs - but they don't have any amps nice enough for MLs) | |
| Quad ESL 989 and Maggie 3.6s Jeffreybehr - I looked at your system as well... You've got some nice stuff, but you've got to clear out the space between / behind those Quads of yours! I can't imagine how there could be a soundstage without any space behind/between the quads. T... | |
| Quad ESL 989 and Maggie 3.6s HighDungeon - Put a pair of Quads or Maggies next to a big pair of wilsons or Dynaudios. Play some dynamic rock or jazz music. You will near night-and-day differences in dynamic capabilities between the planars and the boxes. Granted, you'll also ... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Snook - You are telling me that the VS VR4JR has superior bass than the Piega C10ltd? Couldn't be more the other way around in my experience. While I ultimately found the Piegas too lacking in dynamics for my taste, I thought they excelled in bass... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Snook - I would be interested in what $20K speakers have worse bass than the VR4JRs in your opinion. Wilson Watt Puppy 7s? Avalalon Eidolons? Dynaudio C4s? Verity Parsifal Encores? JM Lab Alto Utopias? B&W Sig 800s? Piega C8ltd?If so, I would ... | |
| It's funny how records are still best. I dont think it's that much of a PITACleaning a record with machinebtakes two mins, only needs to be done once per record. I listen to CDs for backgroud music, and vinyl when I really want to pay attention. Yes, have to change side after 20-25 min... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul,No need to respond - I read your system notes and I see that you cross over at 80hz. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Thanks Raul,I must have missed that part of the thread. Thanks! It does make sense.You say:"we use subwoofers not only for a better and extended low bass but for a better midrange/midbass too. So, the frecuency crossover will be over that 40Hz"I a... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul,Thanks for your comments about how to hook up the 2 subs in stereo - it makes sense, just send one channel to each sub (either RCA, XLR, or high level).However, your response did give me another question...It appears as though you advocate... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hello Raul and others,I understand that you advocate using stereo subs.My question is this: Can you provide detailed instructions on how to hook up two subs in stereo? For low level hookup - Do you send only 1 channel RCA cable to each sub?Can you... | |
| Preamp after Manley Steelhead? "The Steelhead got rave reviews as a pre-amp in Stereophile."You say that like it means something |
