| The winters lessons. Great thread, Jadem6 -- thanks for sharing experience & tips. I particularly liked the one about the metal dish w/water. I'll use the trick to relocate my cones.BTW, chords do work, we now even have scientific evidence (See Elisabeth's thread ... | |
| Speaker Placement Forgot to mention, I had mine 42 inches from the back/front wall. To tackle one of Redkiwi's questions, "...shifting speakers closer to optimum position": A)soundstage started expanding beyond the speakers to reach room boundaries B)image stabilit... | |
| Speaker Placement Abstract, pls excuse my misunderstanding, but is this 40 inches from planer to back wall? Regarding rules of 3rds, I had active panels (Audioexklusiv 3A) placed 2/3 from side walls, 3/3 between them, 3/3 or 4/3 from panel to back wall (depending u... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn revII vs SPM Had both. Greater difference on the speaker cable than the I/C -- the reason, allegedly, that capacitance matching is not a major issue on the speaker cable... Agree w/ sugarbrie on the price differential though... | |
| The partner or wife factor W.A.F. aside, how about IN-LAWS?? My friend loves music but rarely joins in listening tests. Not so, her mother. We recently sat down with my "virtual" mother I-L and auditioned speakers for a whole weekend!! In fact, I had comments such as "aweso... | |
| Audio Physic: Virgo or Libra??? Beware of room & amplification, Sunnyjim! I successively had Virgo, Libra AND Avanti -- and, also auditioned the Medea -- AND met J.Gerhard (Mr A Physics). I spent 2 happy yrs with Mr Gerhard's products.IMO the difference in quality justified ... | |
| dedicated power circuit for amp Hi Jjurich. The freer flow of power (i.e. larger gauge wire) allows the equipment to "breathe" better. I had a similarly ear-opening experience when I ran a 32A dedicated line from the fuse box to my listening room, and hooked up the whole system.... | |
| If you could... Hi Ziff -- try a rectangular 15W x 25L x 12H. Also, you can check out Cardas' Golden Rule for speaker placement that also refers to rooms. Good luck! | |
| Best Bach St. Matthews Passion Hello Doug, for St. Matthew I strongly recommend the O. Klemperer version on EMI. (In the latest EMI a.r.t. version you also get good sound.) IMO this is a "universal" performance. For a more "germanic" you could consider Scherchen. But... a live ... | |
| Supplying Power and Working Miracles Hi Meta. The plugs are three prong with a click-on lock (should i have said industrial???). The wire from the main board leads to a "distributor" (*proxy*) in the listening room, basically a rod with one input and 6 outputs. The same 35A wire is u... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Steve, welcome to the happy Genesis gang. Re mid-low: I haven't yet managed to achieve flat coupling between low & mid in my room (15w x25l x10h). However, a flat result below 200Hz sounds very good... My speakers are ~7 ft apart woofer to woo... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? Just a remark from a latecomer in the Tombstones discussion. Much of the junk found in graveyards (RIP)are MARBLE and IMO, marble does NOT work the same way as marble --- granite is invariably better, especially under heavy components eg, power am... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Amcore, thanks for responding. The coil was CUT at one point, and I had no sound coming out of it. I was playing with volume @11:00 (uneccessarily load, for my room, I might add) and the music was Mahler's 5th symphony. By the way, I have never ti... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Pls don't disqualify me from this forum, but I blew one of my front ribbon tweaters (had a spare) -- is this part of the GenV package or (probably) am I doing something wrong? Maybe playing too loud? Anyone encountered this shortcoming?Txs again | |
| Tuning Subs on GenVs -- Help, Anyone? Adrian & Joe -- thanks for yr tips. I'm working on them |
