| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? A six-pack of beer - about $8 including tax I don't that exists in my town. Maybe for $11 | |
| Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway I am wondering about the same issue. Now it's very close to, as in high up, the meaning of life, on my list. | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj @mswale @thecarpathian I apologize if I confused or frustrated anyone. I know it's a simple issue for people who know what they are doing. I clearly don't. In the process, I learned a few things though. The silver lining is that if I ... | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj one quick test: I unplugged the subs from wall, sub stayed dead, speakers still worked. Does it mean there is no crossover? Just wires? Active crossover requires electricity I assume.... | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj I think this is a @thecarpathian suggestion: I don't think there is such a smart crossover inside this cheap sub that would split the signal. I think the full signal goes out, but that's just my assumption. I will post a question on ... | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj OK. that would make sense. I will check out the manual for the PSW10 if indeed it matches the crossover. (I also might just open up the beast and see if there is a crossover). It does sound "thinner" maybe because I am keeping the low ... | |
| speakers and cables @mitch2 sub’s crossover as a high-pass filter Are you saying the in and out connections on my subs have a crossover in between them? What I am curious if it's a filter actually, filtering anything out that maybe shouldn't be | |
| Trying to decide between Quad S2 and Ascend Sierra 2 EX I can suggest a little collection of data in that case https://speakerchoices.com/ I think there is a wide rage in value for the same $ based on who/what/where/marketing/hype/etc. | |
| speakers and cables thanks for the links @immathewj I am diving into it | |
| speakers and cables thanks @carlsbad2! I didn't know this. Also noting the parallel - serial difference, I am a slow learner but I don't forget :) | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To @immathewj re Van Morrison/Blowin Your Mind - the re-release is fantastic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Masters | |
| speakers and cables @immatthewj I need to find the right gain but they sound good. A bit shaky/buzzy on their flimsy legs so I should find a better platform. I listened to a pair of $60 Celestion F3s for 6 weeks and I just switched back to my Evoke 20s, they sound ... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To @bdp24 I have very low opinion of the John Lennon post Beatles body of work, compared with Paul and George's. (I have nothing against John, I just don't get most of his albums.) Band On The Run is kind of a mess but a beautiful mess. I just boug... | |
| speakers and cables @immathewj I have the splitter arriving tomorrow so yes, I will try it out. This is the carlsbad2 method: | |
| Do your ears deceive you? I seriously wonder about a blind test for a 2K and 20K streamer. |
