| Critical subwoofer tip I recently purchased a sub to augment the bottom end of my Spatial M3 open baffle speakers. Due to domestic constraints, one sub is all I will have in the living room. The sub is front firing, and placed about 18” from the rear of the Spatial. If ... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? At RMAF there is a guy who always sets up in the lobby area, and uses Voxativ driver based speakers. He doesn’t play them loudly, but I remember thinking- I’ll be damned if that doesn’t sound EXACTLY like a piano. Every time I went by, same impres... | |
| PSB - Stratus Gold(i) vs Totem Acoustic - Sky towers I have compared the two- unfortunately in different rooms- mine, and my friend’s living rooms. They both sound great, and honestly, when I had my original Golds, I probably did not feed them amplification as well as they deserved. My friend’s Gold... | |
| Gershman Acoustics Inspiration I’ll pony up 20 bucks. You pay shipping. I have great feedback. Buy an ad. | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated I can’t debate the merits and demerits of the various classes of amps out there, as I’ve not heard that many, and I’ve certainly never heard them AB’d. What I can assuredly say is that the Luxman L590 AX Mk2 made by far the most positive change in... | |
| Bache- Tribeca- 001- Upgraded- THE BEST (w/ Wolf & Exogal) I belong to an audio club in NY, and Bache speakers were presented for audition. It’s been over a year, so I can’t recall specifics, but I do remember really liking their full bodied sound. IIRC, someone bought them midway through the meeting. In ... | |
| Can neighbors remote impact your system functions? My in-wall a/c remote would interact with my system- it took me a bit to realize it. Changing temp or fan speed would pause the cd player and/ or turn it off. So there certainly can be unintended interactions. Without involving the neighbor it mig... | |
| Muraudio SP1 Speakers ?.. Not a lot to go on, but I heard these several years ago at RMAF. They were showing- pretty sure- with Wolf Audio electronics. I thought they were great. When you go to shows, it really says something to stand out- there are so many rooms. Hate to ... | |
| Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room A small electric heater. Don't make more of it than necessary. From an old old old listener. In two weeks it won't matter. Something else will. Don't stress. | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Erik beat me to it. They make a great product and are not priced in the stratosphere. I had an original VTF-2 and it was great. Their Variable Tuning Frequency design gives you more flexibility to tune the sub to your room. They have as good a ret... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver RX6 Spike Thread size? Take a trip to Home Depot or a hardware store. I'd bet they are either 1/4" or M6 (metric). 1/4" has a fine and coarse thread available- get both. Just buy one of each size, and maybe one size larger and one size smaller.See which screw goes in wi... | |
| Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables. I also need 22 and 25 ft. lengths due to domestic equipment placement, and thoroughly enjoy AntiCables. They were one of the only affordable solutions for me.I won't pretend that I know if they'll work in your situation and with your speakers, but... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box You didn't ask me specifically, but to me, OB bass surrounds you rather than punches you. This is not a quality judgement, they can both be great. In my case, where my room is less than ideal, the Spatial OB sound works better than box; though it ... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box Yeah, don't get the distortion thing at all. Great speakers, those Spatials... I sent you a rather lengthy PM; any other questions, feel free. I'm on Long Island if you want a listen. | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? I use Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S speakers with a Luxman class A 30 WPC integrated amp (L-590AX MK2). I love the combination. |
