| My speakers don't "dissapear" Thanks for your further information. Here's my suggestion:1. move the spkrs another foot (towards you) away from the screen.2. experimentally, GET RID of the coffee table or at least get it out of the field between the speakers and you.3. take the... | |
| My speakers don't "dissapear" Two questions:Does your listening room have 8 ft (or lower) ceilings?Do you have a coffee table directly in front of your listening seat?ATB,Joe | |
| Thoughts on Threshold Forte Model 3 Nelson Pass David, As the VP of Threshold from 1987 to 1991, I was also in charge of Sales/Marketing/Cheerleading/Dealer Support, and diaper-changing for Forte'. The Forte Model 3 will have much better control of your Kefs -- especially in the bass region -- ... | |
| Is it really the system? Blindjim -- I enjoyed your audiophilic blank verse; the proper proportions of joy and frustration. My feelings about our mutual obsession are similar to owning a beloved dog: There is the constant feeding and the constant picking-up of poop. And t... | |
| Wilson MAXX 2 vs Watt Puppy 8 Room size is an important consideration in determining which of these speakers to go with. If your listening room is small-to-medium, then W/P 8's might be the better choice. If the room is on the large side, or if you just-gotta-have pant-leg-fla... | |
| MIT Magnum M2 I/C Proper cable for me? That's VERY unusual! Does the cable have a network box? Does the cable have black mesh on the outside? A photo would help. You can email me through Portal Audio's website. To answer your question, the nominal input impedance of the Stingray is aro... | |
| MIT Magnum M2 I/C Proper cable for me? Hi, I'm guessing that your i/c is longer than 3m. That would be the reason it would not have adjustments. If so, there would be a shrink-marker on the dowmstream end saying HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. If you let me know, I can tell how optimum a match t... | |
| CD Player with the best Built-in Volume Control... Thanks for giving us information on the rest of the components. I'd strongly recommend a Theta Miles, balanced version. One of my current systems uses this to drive Portal Paladins. A similar system driving a Pass amp has been very satisfactory fo... | |

| Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot??? "12 ga. is 12 ga" ?? 1. the physical distance between the positive and negative legs will determine the capactive and inductive characterics of the cable.2. the number of strands will affect high frequency response and group delay.3. the material ... | |
| Another speaker wire possibility at Home Depot??? Just a hint -- try a sniff-test before you buy. If you can detect any PVC (like a new garden hose) smell at all, do not buy the cable for audio. PVC is a not a good-sounding dielectric. ALSO, that PVC smell is actually the out-gassing of chloride ... | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Depends on whether your amps are SS or tube. Very generally speaking, SS amps are more able to drive long runs of speaker cable, so short i/c's and long spkr cables will give you the least negative effects. BUT, if you have tube amps, then long i/... | |
| Anyone heard the MIT Oracle V2.2 spkr cbl upgrade? First a disclaimer: I'm an MIT dealer -- actualy the ONLY dealer, other than that factory, authorized to sell the "dot2" series. So, I might be a little BIASED.In the process of delivering a new pr of Oracle V2.2 WideBand to a long term friend/cli... | |
| MIT MI-330: How to tell for which impedance it is? Glad to help. MIT 330 Shotguns have a shrink marker on the downstream side (that's the shorter RCA) this shmarker will read "low output", or medium, or high. If the input impedance of your YBA is 27k, then the ideal match is LOW, but if you were t... |
