| dts question What I find to be the biggest difference between DTS and DD, is that the sound is more enveloping in DTS. Sometimes I could swear that there are speakers all around me, and not just in the front and back. I am still only using a 5.1 setup. It does... | |
| Digital crossovers? Steved, thanks for your response. I did find their website, doing a web search, and I saw pictures, of the crossovers. I was surprised to see that they were outboard devices. I have already been talking to a speaker builder about making a pair of ... | |
| Digital crossovers? Dawg, I have two way speakers and a sub, do I need two for the speakers ($400x2) and one for the sub? Are they installed internally, if so did you install them? Does Behringer have a website? | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? ESS speakers are my pick. I've heard many more expensive brands, and I wouldn't trade mine for any of them. They can be bought direct from factory for less than $1500 per pair. A bargain to say the least. I haven't heard the Kitharas, listed above... | |
| Best subwoofer hookup? Thanks Dannylw, I am using the pre-outs now, and it sounds good on music. I haven't tried the speaker level yet, because I don't have an extra set of matching speaker wires. | |
| Spectron Musician II -- deep bass perfomance?? Also for Sattothestars, have you heard the Acoustic Reality amps? I have a short list of A.R., Spectron, and Stellavox. I can probably afford one of these used, haven't seen any Stellavox used yet. What do they cost new? | |

| What is your best kept secret in mid-fi? Amongst the many already mentioned, a couple that were big improvements in my system.1. Shielded power cord for the CD player.2. Separate dedicated AC outlet for CD player.3. Clean CD's with mold release remover. | |
| CDP"s with digital input ? What about the Theta Miles, digital input on this one? | |
| How come no one talks of sansui? I have a TU 9900 that I still use in my vintage analog system, it sounds great. And I have a 441 receiver that works fine, although I'm not using it at the present time. | |
| Center Channels sound crappy I use two center channel speakers,on both sides of the monitor. The tweeter and smaller driver are now in the same plane as the main speakers. I have a Y adapter from the center channel out, into a stereo amp so each channel drives one speaker. I ... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? I love you more than you'll ever know, sung by Al Kooper on Blood Sweat & Tears first album, Child is father to the man. I think every man can relate to this one. | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Matchstikman, Funny you should ask, but a large number of CD-R's come in green plastic, and black. I've only heard a few copies, on some of these, and they sound really good. As good or better than the originals? Can't say yet, but I'm going to do... | |
| Time machines In the summer of 73, I went into a high end stereo store for the first time. I entered the place with the idea of spending between four and five hundred dollars. Out of curiosity I wanted to hear what the more expensive systems sounded like, so I ... | |
