| Best upgrade: amp or pre-amp? As @goose typed, I had always thought that conventional wisdom dictated getting it right up front & then working back. | |
| How can I tell if I am overdriving the amp or the speakers? "The amp is 250 x 2 into 8 ohms," and the speakers are rated at 90? I wouldn't think it would be the amp running out of power. I would think the speakers are just trying to work to hard. But I also think that the room acoustics suggestion has m... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 LOL! Nothing little about the SLP 05. Source: SLP 05 owner. | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 so you went back to the sub & you like it? When you say the "center in my room" do you mean between your speakers? Anyway, glad to hear that worked out for you. I was still experimenting with placement of mine . . . and... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @hilde45 my question was whether or not a subwoofer between speakers would have a negative effect on imaging & sound staging; if I am reading your answer correctly, you are saying it is room dependent. @ghdprentice I have some comments... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? Thanks again for all the helpful replies. What I was intending to ask was not so much on how to maximize my sub's potential, but more along the lines of how not to have my sub's placement/physical presence have a negative effect on the imaging &a... | |
| Will you hear the most beautiful music... You may need a roto-rooter for your coronary arteries after that one. . . . | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 sorry, I’m tired and something sarcastic struck me at that moment. But I do not believe that a well treated room is going to happen for me in this life time, so I am trying to figure out how to make the most of what I do hav... | |
| A post on AC Voltage Regulators - Why you might want one I thought it was an interesting read. Do any of theses look appealing? https://www.crutchfield.com/S-QUKlkvLE9Hg/shopsearch/furman_power_conditioner.html | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @whitefishpoint1175 thank you for that. But in the mean time, I don't have a well treated room. | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? Thank you to all. @ghdprentice I am going to watch that youtube, but since I cannot get sound out of the speakers on my ten year old desk top and I lack the energy to dig out my head phones at the moment (fence building all day, www.hownottobui... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I don't know if it meets the criteria for 'vintage', but in '98 or '99 I tried out a Mesa baron that I always kind of wished I would have bought. I don't think I would have been happy with it for the long haul, but it was fun to play with. | |
| Please settle a bet! "….and that Brandon magic continues….if anyone believes he really got 81 mil legit votes, you should also prefer Lloyds to Audio Research too." @lou_setriodes and how many votes do you think that Fat Donnie got? | |
| HFTs? @coralkong thank you for that explanation. | |
| HFTs? @raysmtb1 sometimes it all smells like snake oil. But here is the discussion I alluded to and one of the sites I found to buy HFTs at. The Cable Company also sells them. https://www.thecableco.com/accessories/acoustic-treatments/hft-speaker-k... |
