| Professional Speaker Set-Up - South Florida Thanks everyone for the responses!I've got the speakers setup pretty well using the Sumiko method. I'm sure a pro could do better and when I get to a permanent home I will engage someone to do it.For whatever reason, the Duettes were easier to se... | |
| Any other tweaks for Wilson Audio Duettes? <I always wanted to dump the supplied umbilical speaker wires but never got around to doing that. >I just got a pair of Duettes and was thinking of doing the same thing. When I asked Wilson they recommended against it as they said the cables... | |
| Top resistors I just got some 5.1 ohm resistors to try on my tweeters in a pair of Wilson Duette. I actually preferred the lower cost Duelunds to the more expensive Duelunds but preferred the Path Audio to both of those. I had never used the Path's before. A... | |
| Professional Speaker Set-Up - South Florida Dweller,What they have are two values of resistors that control the level of the tweeter output. I have been playing around with them as well as trying out other hi-end resistors I have around the house.Hifi,Thanks for the info. I was hoping to fi... | |
| Cable Cooking/Burnin I received my Cable Cooker the other day and love it. I have a technical question for those more versed in the science than I.I was trolled and ridiculed on Head-Fi for talking about the cooker with a couple of respondents saying 'you can do the ... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I Almost embarrassed to admit that the look of a speaker is nearly as important as the sound to me, especially in my main set-up in a living room surrounded by art deco furniture.I have a pair of Liutos in there now, Very high WAF for floor-stander... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I If it was the Cello it's quite a bit more $$$ than the Cremona @ $18k. The Cello is a floor mount. Maybe you saw the Violin which is stand-mounted. That's not cheap either at $8500.Whether they are value or not is another matter but I've heard ... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I All the responses have been helpful. My understanding is that the Cremona M Auditors are easier to setup/less finicky about placement than the original Cremona Auditors.Has anyone heard any of the Lawrence speakers? You can find good deals on th... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I Excel, I am pretty sure that was Serblin's last SF design. I didn't realize they were that setup dependent. The best I can do is a regular living room as opposed to a dedicated music room. I'll never manage to get them that far away from the ba... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I Kelvin, are you talking about the Cremona Auditors or the Olympica Is? I wasn't sure.Has anyone heard the Lawrence Audio Violin SE? If not can you recommend a used monitor in the $3k-$5k range (current used price)?Thanks ! | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors or Olympica I Thanks much. I really appreciate the insight though I am surprised by the responses. I’ve read a number of posts from people raving about the Cremonas and how the original version might even be better than the M version. Also have heard some compa... | |
| Acoustic Treatment of 'Unique" Room Thanks for the response. I ended up buying a bunch of stuff from GIK. The room turned out reasonably well considering how bad it was. It's still got a null at 55hz that I can't seem to tame even with their help, but I'll have to live with it. | |
| Simplifi Audio - DSpeaker 2.0 ultra power supply Follow-up to steakster's post...He is ABSOLUTELY right about setting the voltage to 12V. The DSPeaker sounds much worse being fed 13.8V. On my system (PS Audio BHK, DSD, Memory Player, Sonus Liutos) the soundstage collapses at 13.8V. I couldn't... | |
| Simplifi Audio - DSpeaker 2.0 ultra power supply Just got mine today...Did anyone find they needed to re-run room correction once the PS was changed? I find the Astron makes the unit more dynamic and robust but that the bass seems a little thicker now.Wanted to see if anyone else has experience... | |
| Vintage Sonus Faber vs New Scansonic Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize it's only been 3 years since the Cremonas (M) have been discontinued. The original Cremonas I believe were phased out in 2008. No knock on SF or anyone else, equipment gets better over time. I recently... |
