| What did your first "real" system consist of? In college I bought a pair of Ohm Walsh 2's driven by an Onkyo 504 amp w/ Adcom passive pre and a Kenwood cd changer. I have since spent ungodly sums of money, yet I rarely connect with the music like I used to. Maybe my memories have become roman... | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? MUSIC??? We don't actually listen to music. It's all about the equipment and constantly trading/upgrading. Who has time to listen to music?! | |
| MMG's with a Tube amp? Not a good match. I have a pair that I use as a back-up when my mains are in transition. I hooked them up recently to my McIntosh MC 2102 (100wpc into 8,4,2 ohms) and in my 20x 18 room they sucked all 100 wpc ( I know because the Mac has meters) I... | |
| The Klipschorn I have paired my 2002 Khorns with everything from Wavelength Cardinals w/ WE 300bs to 200 wpc McIntosh solid state. I agree with the posters who recommend tube power with them, but I have found that I get the best performance with a quality push-p... | |
| The Klipschorn I have owned the older, "classic" Khorns from the late 60's or early 70's and I currently own the 2002 revision, in which the crossover and drivers were updated, including better wire. There is simply a "rightness' to them that few speakers can ma... | |
| static electricity I, too, have noticed UNBELIEVABLE static in my listening room lately. It is about 20 degrees outside and dry as a bone. Last winter, my daughter pulled her blanket across the carpeted floor, and a wave of static electricity traveled across the flo... | |
| mcintosh 7270 questions The watts selection is for having the meter indicate wattage in real time. The needle will sway with the music. The hold designation will indicate the peak wattage reached for a given time period (10-30 seconds or so) This allows you to see what t... | |
| Best Cheap acoustic wall treatments? Some great tips- Thanks! Drguayo, those primacoustics products look great! I checked the site, but they don't have prices listed. Do you have any idea what their basic packages start at?Thanks,Jeff | |
| Help No corners for my Klipschorns Eddie:The Khorns NEED to be in corners (and snugly at that!)to sound their best. Building false corners is not difficult, but they need to run several feet in both directions. The bass performance will suffer greatly without corner placement. | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Plato:I have used the follwing amps on my 2002 Klipschorns: CJ Premier 8A(275 wpc);Wavelength Cardinals (8 wpc);Welborne Laurels (7wpc);VAIC VV52b (30wpc).I found the lower wattage amps provided the quietest background and, particularly the Cardin... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Allow me to add my 2 cents: I currently own several speakers, including the newest revision of the venerable Klipschorns. The Magnepans, Martin Logans, Thiels, Piegas, Soundlabs, etc. that have graced my room in the past couple of years have impre... | |
| how do you know when you've blown a speaker? When you wake up with a terrible headache,and glance over to your left to see a Thiel 3.6 laying next to you, smoking a Camel. That's a sure sign! | |
| Myrtle Wood So I guess nobody is interested in my amazing new power cables using baby harp seal intestines as conductors?? | |
| Speakers you regret selling I certainly regret selling my Cabasse Atlantis speakers. They were the ugliest things ever created ( 8ft. tall with a huge eyeball protruding from the pyramidal front) but they were amazing transducers. My wife made me choose between them and our ... | |
| $10 / foot speaker wire RED ROSE 336 cable at $10/ ft. is THE cable to own in this range. I heard them in the NY studio and was extremely impressed with the system. I would definitely look into these. |
