| Paradisea, Airport Express and Denon 2910 Does the Paradisea allow you to switch betw. Toslink, RCA and USB inputs? It looks like there's a switch in the back. The switch on the back toggles the Toslink and RCA. The DAC defaults to USB when a USB cable is inserted. I'm not familiar with a... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? yes a very thin piece of wood with almost no internal bracing. My buddy uses Forte II as DJ speakers, they are good for that.I have had Chorus, KLF 30, KG 3.5, KG 5.5, Hersey, some others I cant think of. KLF-30 were my last pair, got a pair of B&... | |
| Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed I posted about this release late last year...yes, the DVD is superb, both acoustically as well as visually. It is in widescreen format. Along with the entire session, beautifully lit, filmed and edited, it has an interview with the band and their ... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Are all Klipschhorns, save those with custom upgrades, created equal? Any variations in particular to levitate towards or steer away from?There's plenty to read on the Klipsch forums as far as opinions on this go. The drivers and the crossover hav... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Mapman - Boa2 had his Khorns in a relatively small room and they sounded great there. I'd say the really difficult aspect of using the room you describe is the square ratio which is one of the worst proportions for a good listening room. You may h... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? The George Wright AU-1000 preamp I own is actually the same preamp Boa2 once owned. He soldit to a another guy. And I bought it from him.Well, I can still say with great confidence that the LaScalas drop off severely just under 50hz. If you consid... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? You are talking about Klipschorns I am talking about Klipsch in general. The heritage series is constructed a little better than all of there other stuff. Mapman started the thread by asking specifically about LaScalas which are part of the Herita... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Lonestarblues reminded me that I have heard one good Klipsch/SS combination where the synergy was good: A pair of KHorns with an SS McIntosh amp (can't recall which)...so I do believe it can work, but synergy is critical, and if you go wrong with ... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Well OK, if you are comparing the Klipsch cabinet quality with new Polks, Bose, KLH then yes they have good cabinet construction. If you compare them to B&W, NHT, Dynaudio ect..then they are built rather poorly.As a matter of fact, no, I was n... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Klipsch Heritage are great horn speakers at a price most could afford. Their magic is in the midrange which is not at all cabinet dependent (the horns, mid and tweet, do not use the cabinet for anything but physical support). There are many techni... | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? I heard these in their room at RMAF playing with a pair of BelCanto Ref 1000's. I don't think they were bi-amping at the time I was listening, but they did have some serious tube amps in the room as well for exactly that purpose (sorry, can't reca... | |
| klipschorn modifications Wouldn't lining the horns narrow their geometry (or is that part of what's good?)? Any benefit from lining the outsides of the horns for damping? You line the horns on the outside, not the inside. You can use Dynamat, or you can get much cheaper a... | |
| klipschorn modifications Ditto...Klipsch forums - A short list:Replace Crossover - Options include those by Al Klappenberg, Bob Crites, Dean Westcott and others.Replace Tweeter Beyma CP25 is popular drop-in. Beyma CP385ND + TD250 horn (needs padding) is another alternati... | |
| Who else wants to keep their system secret? I've got the Bdgregory syndrome myself, though I do have a system posted thus saving myself from the flaming damnation of Onhwy61's special corner of hell at a slightly lower temperature than those who talk on hand-held cell phones while driving. ... | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? Back in '07 for me it was probably 16 Horsepower, "Folklore"...Hey, didn't "In Rainbows" come out in January '08? |
