| Too many tubed components in the system? I think if you put two 300Bs under each armpit you'd still have room for plenty more. | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? Yes, kinda like a mini-Princess Leia is floating between your speakers saying "help me Fatparrot..."Although with me, I've got Maria Grazia Cucinotta or Sophia Loren floating in front of me saying, "get off your lazy culo and put that green slante... | |
| Do most manu. buy or build their x-overs? Wow, Sean sounds like an involoving project! It's great you were able to do a before and after listen and note the differences.From the description of the complexitiy I'm assuming this was no first order 6dB slope set up, but then again you do hav... | |
| avantgarde loudspeakers I think their looks could be terrifying too, especially if you had some guests walk into your room and they didn't know they were speakers.Some people might mistake them for space robots from a 1950's flying saucer movie. | |
| Do most manu. buy or build their x-overs? Interesting question.I'd think the crossover design is so critical that it would need to be designed specifically for the cabinet design and drivers being used, so that the speaker manufacturers would pick the parts and build them to their own nee... | |
| Spade adapters I actually used the X-Terminator Banana Adapters before sending my cables to the factory for retermination with WBT Midlines and thought the Monsters were pretty good.Sonically, I didn't notice any degredation with them. I eventually stripped one ... | |
| Balanced or singled ended IC's? For HT setup. Do you have cabling now and been able to hear the whole set up?If so, what direction do you want the sound to go in?I'll go out on a limb and recommend some of my favorite brands which are Audience and Acoustic Zen.I've had great luck with all AZ ... | |
| If my subwoofer has no LFE input... No problem at all.Sounds like the Audio Physic cabinets will make a good looking and good sounding combination!Good luck. | |
| Balanced or singled ended IC's? For HT setup. Nice gear!Tough question to answer though. As for different brands it depends on what you're using now and how you'd like it to sound different and how much you're willing to spend. If you don't have any cables yet, what kind of sonic signature ar... | |
| If my subwoofer has no LFE input... In answer to question #1:In the speaker set up of most processors you'd set the subwoofer to OFF, then set your mains to LARGE. This will prevent a signal going to your processor's LFE output and send a full frequency signal to your mains.Regardin... | |
| Would you pay to rent my media/video room Like Quake 3 Arena LAN wars? | |
| Spade adapters I think sonically WBTs are excellent, however I am not a fan of their design when it comes to using them.Most of the interconnects and speaker cables I've owned used them.I've owned many speaker cables that used the Midline and their more expensiv... | |
| A Packing and Shipping Manifesto Thanks Lester.After reading your Packaging Manifesto, I realize I am in far more compliance with it, than Southern California Department of Motor Vehicle highway laws.I agree with you, the only kind of peanuts I like are the ones that go spinning ... | |
| New vs Used when buying please share thoughts Saint2, welcome aboard!Before buying anything on Audiogon I would suggest reading the forums extensively in order to get an idea of what you'd like to spend and which brands would appeal to you musically.Also at the same time I would recommend vis... | |
