| Manufacturer Warranty Well, just for those of you interested, HK finally sent me a new (refurbished) unit. It works perfectly, in fact, after having this unit, I realize the old one was deficient in several ways.At any rate, HK honored their warranty and I am pleased w... | |
| What's better: RCA or XLR? Thanks to all who responded. the technical viewpoint is relevant, however, my main concern is, as someone suggested, the difference in the "quality of the sound". There seems to be so many different views on both sides of the question. My only exp... | |
| Manufacturer Warranty Rockvirgo,you sound a little like me, (capable of a mean streak when ripped off), and believe me that is an option I had reserved for last. However, doesn't look necessary. HK rep. agreed to replace for free. They will ship me a knew one within a ... | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus help Ok, I have a set of N804's. Tried them with underpowered gear and they were a waste of a fine speaker. I now have a Classe CA 300 and Classe cp50 pre-amp. That really brought them to life. Dynamic range, and clarity, good sound stage and decent ba... | |
| Cable short-repair? will do, thanks,jb | |
| 40hz ratings/speaker response Well, looks like I'm back in business. I had my electronics tested. The tech said there were no spikes, square waves etc. In fact, he said it had one of the "flatest" frequency response deviations he'd ever seen. so I can trust my Classe gear. BW ... | |
| 40hz ratings/speaker response OK, time to get specific. Heres the crux of my problem.the speaker in question is a B&W Nautilus804. the exact specs are: freq.range= -6db at 30hz and 30khz. and -3db at 38hz and 22khz. the freq. response rating is:45hz-20khz +/-2db. Now, to g... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? What happens techinically if you add a sub? And also, what is the proper way to add a sub? If I plug in the powered sub to a "regular out" on the pre-amp, does the signal somehow only send the lower frequencies to the sub, thereby reducing the "lo... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I forgot, Bonnie Raitt, what a combo of musical ability and voicejoeb | |
| rock/jazz fusion and to you I say, thanks again for "mo music!", I'd say trying to keep up with this list will just about tap out my budget for awhile, unless I skip the rent...joeb | |
| Best female vocals on CD Ok, gotta be Joni Mitchel, not just for voice, but style, composition, overall musical soulfullness. And what about Stevie Nicks? Her work with Fleetwood Mac and even solo is not too shabby.jobe | |
| rock/jazz fusion Fantastic! Best damn thread I've heard in a long time. Now I have some stuff to get. Thanks to all of you. I used to own some of this stuff on vinyl: billy Cobham "spectrum", and Mahavishnu "birds of fire", Romantic Warrior. loved them. I probably... | |
| "tube" cd players? well, thanks to you guys who provided feedback, food for thought, joeb | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Nilthepill, theres lots of music about "pain" that does not exploit it, wallow in self pity, and use it as an excuse to degrade, belittle, insult and threaten others. No other form of music or any type of art that I can think of, does just that, w... | |
| Need B&W match for Krell KAV300i amp don't waste your money on the N805's, unless all you care abut is HT. If you're into the music, you need at least the N804's, which are superb. the 805's are really just monitors, not "full range". to step up in anything better is going to cost mu... |
