| Subwoofers, and standing waves... Byron, are you saying you kept the sub along the same wall as the mains, but moved it closer the corner, or that you relocated it to one of the side walls so it's actually now closer to your listening position? Thanks. | |
| next step please Hey Cyanzky,I think part of determining your goals is to have an idea of what it is about your system you'd like to improve.You state that you're interested in 2 channel, but what kind of music do you like to listen to? Knowing what kind of music ... | |
| I'm confused You ain't done Viggen!As soon as you locate a cool, inexpensive, obscure piece of equipment that has a cleaver yet elegant design you'll fall off the wagon and order it directly from the guy that builds them with his own little hands.It's only tem... | |
| I'm confused Sean, I'm a little more yellow than green. I have a wedged head but not on one side, it's more in the front. I don't know any fellow named Pokey, but I do whiz around on one foot with the other one lifted behind me.FOUR 2 channel systems??!!!! Wow. | |
| Audiophile Special Event Songs Weddings, etc. Mine is Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "Constipation Blues"!! | |
| next step please I will quadruple-echo all the previous comments. Excellent, excellent advice. I wish someone would have told me this eight years ago. Follow it and you will come closer to Nirvana much sooner. However, I must I am enjoying the journey! | |
| What does a pre amp do I have two passive preamps and one tube preamp. The passives seem to pass along very balanced music and well defined bass, while my tube unit bloated those lower frequencies. However, I greatly preferred the midrange of the tube preamp which was r... | |
| I'm confused Hey Marty, I wish 2 channels was easier, hahah! I'm finding it to be way more expensive as well!Sean, your discussions always seemed to center around 2 channel and I never considered you might have an HT system. What kind of gear are you running? ... | |
| I'm confused Interesting results Lej1447! I have a few questions regarding the test you conducted.You said after setting the 8.3s to small you adjusted the crossover higher on BOTH the Denon and Polk PSW350.When setting your speakers to small and allowing the ... | |
| I'm confused Ooops, sorry to confuse you more Lej1447!! :-)In my opinion, most people view bass reproduction in a monitor or main speakers as secondary to how it performs with everything above those frequencies. This is just my opinion, others may disagree.I u... | |
| I'm confused Marty, the 80Hz LFE setting you mention IS actually quite standard. Although many processors and AVRs these days have bass management systems that allow adjustability of this frequency, 80HZ seems to be the THX standard [for whatever that's worth]... | |
| I'm confused Lej1447, as I said previously if your speakers are currently set to "large", before considering any further purchases I would definitely recommend changing them to "small" then take the time to evaluate your system.If the 8.3s are reproducing full... | |
| I'm confused Lej1447,Five years ago I set up an HT system using a Marantz 5.1 pre/pro and an ATI AT1505 5x150 watt amp feeding five NHT monitors. I also have an NHT 12" sub and all this is in a 12x14 room. By now all this equipment is yesterday's tech, but I h... | |
| Reasonably priced, well matched speaker cables A few years ago I replaced Silversonic T14s with Analysis Plus Oval 9s and felt the AP9s presented a fuller, more organic sound. The DH Labs T14s and BL1s I've tried I thought were lean and bright.As Thsalmon says, cables are very system dependent... | |
| I'm confused What kind of speakers are you using. What is their efficiency, and processor output setting?Do you have a subwoofer? Marty makes a good point, because if you use a subwoofer you can set all your speakers to "small" rather than a "large" setting if... |
