| Speaker Terminology You can try the Madisound website. They have an online forum, just like here, but just for speakers. A lot of speaker builders over there to answer your questions.Sonnyhttp://www.madisound.com/ | |
| one 7 channel amp or seperate 2 channel amps? I prefer using multiple amps. I use one amp to power the main speakers which I use for movies and 2 channel listening. I have a stereo surround amp in the back of the room, so I use long shielded RCAs and shorter speaker wires. I also use a third ... | |
| DTS vs Dolby Digital? The biggest difference that I find between the two is that often times, when there is information coming from the surround speakers in DD, I can point to their location without looking. With DTS it seems like I have more speakers as the sound is m... | |
| novice needs help with cables I am using LAT international cables throughout my system. I would recommend them to anyone looking for uncolored sound at affordable prices. I have heard a few more expensive brands and well, let's put it this way, I am not planning to upgrade in ... | |

| Balanced to unbalanced? Try a balanced digital crossover. The Rane is VG. I'm using a DBX Driverack, about $500. The Behringer DCX2496 is less money.Sonny | |
| Preamp/Subwoofer connection question.... You can try a digital crossover like the Behringer DCX2496 ($350) or the DBX Driverack ($499), which is what I have. You will be able to adjust both the high pass and low pass settings between your speakers and sub to get the best from both. You c... | |
| Where do I go from here ? Spectron Musician II Just curious, how long have you had your setup? I recently got a used Musician ( not the II ) to drive speakers with Heil tweeters, which are like electrostatics. Although, so far most CDs sound much better, a few, 5-10 % sounded a little bright o... | |

| crossover question The crossover (at 600hz) will decrease the volume of the driver gradually (the slope) so that the mid-range speaker will take over and produce the sound until it hits the next crossover for the tweeter. So the crossover creates a downward slope fo... | |
| the 4 ohm rating It's not that simple. No speaker has a perfectly flat resistance curve. A speaker may be called an 8 ohm because it averages 8 in the midrange but frequently may jump to 16 ohm or higher in the bass and may also jump in the higher frequencies as w... | |
| AH Njoe Tjoeb 4000 or Consonance cd120 ?? I am a Consonance CD 2.2 owner, and I recommend it highly. On the RCA side it has tube output and a volume control on the remote. On the XLR side, no tube, but it is FULLY balanced. I think it still sells for less than $1500, and it weighs in at a... | |
| CD players in $2K range with balanced output The Consonance CD2.2 would be my recommendation. I bought one based on a number of reviews and listening tests at some of the local audio stores. I am very happy with it. If I was going to trade up, it would be only for a Resoultion Audio Opus 21,... |
