Linn speakers
Twl, OK any idea how much the DMS weigh? I seem to remember their being quite big. And in the passive configuration how much power does it need? From the description, it sounds like a hog. My Plinius 8200 is rated at 175 W.Does anyone know if ther...

Twl, After reading your description of the DMS again, it's starting to sound familiar. Was this model also known simply as "The Isobarik" or some such? I'm thinking of a speaker that had multiple tweeters, firing in various directions and maybe mu...

Thanks for the info. Twl, when you say there is no conversion, are you saying that the DMS can not even be bi-amped passively?Don 
Speaker match for Plinius 8200 Mk II

Hubbell 8300

Hubbell 8300
Just to update anyone looking at this thread with what I have found. You can indeed get what I'm looking for - even in white - but it is on a made-to-order basis, and is not listed in the Hubbell catolog even though the part number exists.So in su... 
Hubbell 8300
There are some relay based preamps that won't work with isolated ground outlets. The Pass Labs Aleph P, I have, is is one.I was thinking that "isolated ground" simply meant that the ground conductor of the outlet was isolated from all other conduc...

I would call Audiopoints.com and ask to speak to Robert. He's the man over there... I don't know if you'll be able to do those "devices" for the $ you want, but check out their website...I can't access their website - I don't have shockwave instal...

>What I have now is (don't laugh) 2 long pieces of stick-on felt on the bottom of each speaker...I didn't laugh, but I sure smiled. I have done the same thing to the bottom of my furniture. The normal room set up is not condusive to listening. ...

Warrenh said: "... As far as your "speaker stand coupling"--why don't you tell us a little 'bout what you've got there?"OK, not sure what you're looking for here, so I'll be complete.I have an EAD UD 2000 CD player and a Plinius 8200 Mk II integra...
