| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? I forgot to say,you could see they got a higher output at 4 ohms,but they only did two channels.Driving more channels into4ohms might kick in the protection like the manual says in a round about way over long periods of time.The Maggies don't tell... | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? The new receivers don't have to follow the old FTC rules for audio gear.The more channels you drive,the less power is typical.8 ohms is the standard for home theater receivers and systems.That is why a lot of them have a external or internal switc... | |
| Granny says heah. After reading the above about a high backed chair,one made of leather might work wonders.A friend has high backed leather recliners in their theater room,and I get that affect you might be looking for.They are comfortable too! | |
| Toe-in or NOT toe-in ?? Your ears are the best guide. | |
| Power Cord Compairison - your thoughts? Your better off cleaning the poor power coming in to your home with a decent conditioner.The power cord just brings it to your equipment like all the rest of the AC supply wiring.There's no use spending extra money there.Here's a link on the subje... | |
| tube amp on with speaker wire disconnected Yes.The output transformers could arc inside,more so with a signal present.Sometimes an output transformer will arc in different parts of the windings causing different results.It may sound normal,but the primary impedance may be different.It may ... | |
| Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED? I wouldn't bypass the fuse/fuses in any speaker.Directly soldering the fuse will most likely ruin the fuse. Onkyo does not give a true 4 ohm power rating that I can find.It would have to say something like this,200 watts per channel into 4 ohms wi... | |
| Looking for Wagner recommendations Try Wagner on You Tube.At least it will hopefully give you some idea. | |
| Granny says heah. If not already,try aiming the speakers directly to your listening spot. | |
| Choke regulation vs power conditioner I've always heard that its not a good idea to use a computer UPS for audio. | |
| Loud buzz and hum in my REL subwoofer I Would try a different cable first.Also if you have some other preamp,or receiver(any thing with a variable output) ,try that too.When the receiver is turned off,most subs powerdown.If the interconnect wire broke loose inside from moving things d... | |
| How to fix the brake on Technic sp10 mkII? If I'm thinking of the right fastener,it might be called an E-clip,or E-retaining ring Some Sears hardware only stores might have them,Lowe's etc.And best of all,a real private owned real hardware store. | |
| Ribbon, planar magnetic, electrostatic omni-driver OHM had a omni type speaker for years. | |
| Just got a pair of Polk Audio LSi15s Need advice I'm pretty sure your speakers are 4ohm.I think you need to double check that.If they are,put the 4/8ohm switch on the 4 ohm setting.Otherwise your receiver might be running hot and hard trying to drive the Polks.Actually the Sony looks like it has... | |
| Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines Sorry,this is the correct link.For close idea,if stated in watts,divide wattage by voltage.If your equipment draws 900 watts at 120 volts.You should get about 7.5 amps.This linkwill give you some idea why a smaller wire is not liked by most.Link [... |
