| It's the small things that drive you nuts... Oh YES! Drive... to tears. My (Greg's) General Law of Audio Connectivity:"Whatever the efforts you make arranging the power sockets for practical reasons, and whichever new COMPONENT or whatever PLACEMENT you choose for sonic reasons, the signal/p... | |
| Hendrix blues The BBC sessions of Jimi are reasonably well recorded. The snag is, I don't know if they're out on cd... | |
| S-F users: any successful sub matings out there? Jayme, yes they're active. As to price I don't know... Any way you can try the "small" Audio Physics sub, or the middle REL? I'm extrapolating here as I've only heard the S-F, the A-Physics Luna & the big Rel, play with the Amati in a biggish,... | |
| How do I biamp? WOAH, Left... don't connect ANYTHING yet, please. Especially NOT a signal from an amp to ADDITIONAL amps --- you'll blow the lot.The connections in bi-amping are from PRE outputs to (electronic?) crossover or to individual amps. Also depends upon ... | |
| Is it worth it? Another speaker is the new small ATC (whatever it's called). I heard it recently & quite liked it. If you listen to classical & jazz, you can consider small S-F's as suggested... with yr superb front end & depending upon amp, you might... | |
| Sonus Faber Concertinos & 30watt tube integrated? Shouldn't be ANY problem. The Concertino's are "sweet" sounding and, IMO, S-F speakers generally like classical & jazz, in that order. So they match your musical taste. You want an "articulate" amp because the Concertino's are more charming th... | |
| Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns You *just* get by size-wise; a little room treatment on side walls wouldn't hurt the sound (but that's stretching the waf, isn't it?). Otherwise, I'm not sure you can get 10 b/ween the speakers--too close to side walls? Just to be on the safe side... | |
| S-F users: any successful sub matings out there? IMO: *drive* the Amati well (I don't know your dr-8),*place* them correctly, *treate* the room as far as you can, and *check out speaker *cable*...BEFORE you invest in a sub. You'll get many returns for your efforts. The Amati are supposed to go d... | |
| Output voltage of Denon 103 The arm on the 6.1 is a good tracker & solidly made. BUT, as Twl notes, the 103 is heavy. Ask the Pro-ject people b/fore you buy, just to be on the safe side. | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Ulf, look into "reviews" for Neuance. Jadem6 wrote a detailed report. | |
| Tickled Pink. Make that Aquamarine Twl, one TT manufacturer that uses Discovery is Clearaudio. Another is Pluto Audio (I think). Good for you, Judith! | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? If it were b/ween the two, I'd rule out marble & try granite instead. Particularly for a suspended wood floor. BUT, things are as Twl explained & all other have illustrated, i.e. which frequencies are you acting upon & what compromises... | |
| What is "critical listening"? Josh: in my case the "left brain activity" calms down when I'm "vibrating" to the music. Then, it doesn't come up! | |
| Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers? Rcrump, LOL :). On a more serious note, we still haven't identified the offender here: the speaker, the amp or the source? If Mfb33 could get back in the light of responses above... | |
| Duevel Part Deux I have a reasonable experience with Bella_lunas & also lived with a pair for a short time. What would you like to know? |
