| No, You Cannot Bi-Amp "Macrojack:Bi-amping (sic) provides more flexibility in circumstances where more flexibility is warranted. While that flexibility MIGHT provide improvements, it can provide problems. The Nigels of the world read this forum and will take advantage ... | |
| No, You Cannot Bi-Amp "Eldartford:...True biamping means that you use a line level (sic) crossover." WRONG. There are at least 2 types of biamping, and both are 'true'. Each has advantages and disadvantages."Subwoofers are almost always biamped."WRONG again. In the las... | |

| Why do some volume controls start at -80db or..? On level scales that indicate zero full open, '0' is NOT no gain, it's FULL gain...as much as the device was designed to create. The minus portion of the scale is that number of deciBels BELOW FULL GAIN.Such a scale is quite useful in displaying j... | |
| Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help- Blues, I've had many CC speakers in my multichannel ssystems over the decades, including KEFs, Eminent Tech. LFT-12s when I had a pair of LFT-8s, and a damned-expensive VonSchweikert Visiun. (Was the latter a huge waste of time and money!) I use V... | |
| Good Tube Amp w/Quatros? I hit 'Submit' too soon. I've always loved the sounds of triodes over pentodes/tetrodes, but some prefer the latter for its punchiness. Perhaps a push/pull amp in the 100-to-150-Watt range that's switchable to triode mode? Antique Sound Lab Hurric... | |
| Good Tube Amp w/Quatros? .Hi Ron. What's your budget?.I just happen to have a pair of Atma-Sphere M-60s for sale, and they have the correct hi-pass filter already installed.http://ads.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ampstube&1329262165. | |

I do believe that improvements in pieces of a system are cumulative, and mine continues to improve its transparency as I im... | |
| Speaker wire gauge "You don't even have to calculate since area doubles every 3 steps. 4 wires = 4 x area = 6 steps. 24-6=18"An easier way for me to remember is that the change is the same as with dB. Double the number of (same-gage) conductors (power) and the gage ... | |

| capacitor dielectric bias Vandersteen, among others, also uses a DC bias on some of his crossover filter caps.Here's a pic of the 5A crossover with its 27V. stack of 9-Volts.http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/jeffreybehr/0%20Vandersteen%205as/Boardtop1_1280w.jpg. |
