| Break-in Time Good result! I assume that the other times you were listening all the other factors were the same. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? Looking at some threads on Ascend’s website I found that my speakers came with spikes. Trying to locate all 8 of them: | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @ryder Thanks. So you have tile-on-concrete and I have carpet-on-concrete. Need to think about how analogous that is. But again, trying these might be risk free given the return policies I'm seeing around. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @celtic66 @clearthinker @ronboco @rmdmoore Yeah, it seems that spikes, the less expensive option the best, first thing to try. Funny how some folks who love Townshend can’t seem to absorb my remark (in the OP) that I’m not going to spend that kin... | |
| Bookshelf speakers that pair well with Decware ZMA I just touted Fritz on another thread, but he told me once that he loves his Decware amp with his speakers. They're made in a way that play extremely nicely with tubes. You might call him to discuss. Other than that, I'd be curious about Omega, Zu... | |
| Looking for a good small subwoofer... Very happy with Rythmik subs. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? @captainsteve Not sure if you saw my OP mentioning that I have a concrete floor not a wooden. I can see how smitten you are with Townshend seismic podiums, though! @celtic66 Your comment is much appreciated and relevant -- I like your long dist... | |
| In search of a touch of darkness I'm not sure what the OP is looking for, but I was able to achieve adjustments in the sonic qualities indicated using changes in tubes, and more important, careful measurement, positioning, and room treatment. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? I've been using some nice inexpensive things I got on ebay but for speakers I think I might do a bit more. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? Thanks for the replies. @avanti1960 spikes are a good idea. Got a specific rec for those? Tiptoes is sugges@tomcarr @stereo5 Do you have a concrete floor under the speakers/gaia IIs? @captainsteve Is there a specific product Townshend has tha... | |
| Looking for good speakers, soundstage not important For standmounts, I’m partial to Fritz, Carrera (video, here) or Carbon 7 Mk. II | |
| Mini DSP 2x4 Remote question No, that is not an appropriate analogy. There are various reasons one might want to boost or diminish gain on subs or switch configurations. Hopefully someone with some knowledge weighs in. | |
| Bose 901 series with and ipod. @yogiboy Reasonable caution. On the other hand, people poked fun at me. It was not that hard to withstand -- indeed, it's worth the price of admission if one is really seeking information. Maybe give the OP credit for a slightly tougher skin or se... | |
| Bose 901 series with and ipod. @yogiboy I have but it's been a long time, and not in the spirit of close or careful listening, tbh. | |
| Bose 901 series with and ipod. @yogiboy LOL! I can't resist a good joke, especially involving (a) Bose and (b) a sledgehammer. OP, please do ignore me, though I am only half jesting. |
