| Potential Pair of Great Bookshelf Speakers for Sale! (1) The philosophy is clear. An affordable speaker with high-end amplification and source makes more sense in audio performance, than an expensive speaker with a cheap amp and source. @akg_ca , I guess that is the philosophy I basically went w... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole @immatthewj Must have missed this. So sorry to hear. Everything you read says good things about her and her shows. @curiousjim ? | |
| room size question. I have the same room size and today I sat closer to the speakers and lower. My ears were at the midbass driver level. 5' out instead of 6', sitting on the floor. Giant difference. a lot more "surrounding", spacious soundstage. @grislybutter ... | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) @bigtwin , I cannot and will not try to speak for gdhprentice, and I hope he does offer his explanation so I can learn if what I think is correct Anyway, I remember back in the 90's when I had a prescription to Stereophile, I had read in one of... | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) @ghdprentice , oh, don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t be jealousy (well, maybe a little bit of envy, if I was totally honest), but I think it would be hard to listen to mine after hearing a system on that level. I remember back in ’94 or so when I s... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @holmz , a ground loop at the panel? If it was due just to where that particular outlet(s) ground wire connect to the neutral bar, maybe experiment with some extension cord to an outlet on a different circuit? | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue I am following this with interest. Pretty bizarre. after leaving my system unpowered for 12 hours the problem is gone again. Really strange--I would think that all this would do would be to let the caps discharge. | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) @ghdprentice , I went to your page & looked---awesome room and system! Way, way, way out of my league. I hope you still have the dog? I did a quick search on your speakers and I may be being materialistic, but I believe that to a large ex... | |
| tweaking audio systems with modifications. I would rather go to one live concert than listen to any type of system. Each to his or her own. | |
| tweaking audio systems with modifications. basically like maghister...guy seems like a genius since he says the sound quality is really good. A troll post? No way. | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) Let’s address the elephant in the room — what are your room dimensions and on what wall are your speakers situated? Not sure why this critical info has to be a national secret. Sheesh. @soix Probably because everyone will tell me to giv... | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) So, it is really true. Formula are simply a starting point. For me, I did my movements over a year. I plunked them in the prescribed place. And listened for a couple months (they are really awesome speakers). I realized they were capable of disap... | |
| Anotherspeaker placement question (distance measurements) "I ain’t ever satisfied," Steve Earle wrote a song by that title. @bigtwin , with the adjustable dimensions from the formula that I used to achieve 32.75 (or quite close) I did some listening. These dimensions put my speakers closer to the rear w... | |
| Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this? @gs5556 Multiple receptacles on one dedicated circuit has the disadvantage of having multiple ground points, increasing the chance of ground loop hum. This is why it’s not a good idea to have one receptacle for each piece of audio gear. I am ... | |
| room size question. i have not turned the subs off. i guess my question is what would be the purpose of that ? yes the gear is in between the speakers. the stands are basically amp stands, so they are very low to the ground. 1) It is easy & fre... |
