| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? The most important variables are: length, guage and quality of conductors & manufacture. Which all distill down to LCR and R is mostly irrelevant. | |
| Best Sounding Speaker Cables? More like the "Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right" thread. There's a small third group. We don't recommend what we own or anything else other than what integrates into the system well.For the googleth time, Specific FanBoy recommenda... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon Ted Denney believes...And there is the crux of the problem: Belief. Untested. Unproven. Solely marketing copy.HiFi originated with great engineers designing better product, only to have it debased by charlatans. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It seems to work well almost regardless of how the subs are laid out.Geddes, a DBA progenitor, has several pre-conditions before the above statement is true.For a simulation comparison of the effect of moving DBA subs in a room and system similar ... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon I will visit 'big city'....but know when to leave. Remember when getting there was ½ the fun... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Lastly, your main speakers will sound much better if you high pass them at 80 than at 40 Hz. Depends on the room, main, sub and processing available. My mains are -3dB @ 31Hz measured pseudo-anechoic. ≈40Hz integrates better than 80Hz.When I used... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon No.From the A21+ manualPower Requirement Standby:1 Watt Idle (no music playing): 160 Watts Typical Listening levels: 300 Watts Maximum: 1400 Watts | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon @oregonpapa was MC calling about his system or his intoxicants? | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration 1Hz XO resolution on subs and mains is nice.Sub and mains may not necessarily crossover at the same frequency and more than probably at different slopes.I often imagine that DBA is a lot like what happened in a mastering lab in the LP days: After ... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon that is the idea, to share actual user experience in a way others may find useful. experience or imagination?There is a difference | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration I hope a sub with a continuous phase control will work well enough. Nope. "All-Pass phase controls operate at only a single frequency with varying degrees of shift across the passband."see http://www.ielogical.com/assets/SubTerrBlues/PhaseContr... | |

| Distributed Bass Array configuration mc’s formula is a rip from Floyd Toole’s book, the focus of which is setting up a home theatre, not a HiFi. Read the book and find that the mid wall location works for rectangular rooms. Not all room are rectangular.80Hz XO and no main roll off is... | |
| Different amplifier class for different music genres? However, I also have 3 others,...that sound different with the same music. I wonder which one of those cheated? Correction.

| Tube vendors. Matching is a bit of a shell game. The tubes are seldom run and matched under real world conditions which vary mightily between amplifiers. A match at one point may not at another.For a well matched set, they should be run for several hours before... |
