| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. I own the Tannoy Kingdom Royals of the Prestige line. I bought them because they are the best midrange and highs I have heard in any speaker. They are fast, coherent, detailed yet the mids and highs are not clincal and thin but have some heft and ... | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat To chime in with my experience. I just listened to the new mat myself as I'm interested in it for my master jazz CD burning. To start with, I just listened to it as playback and it clearly sounds more musical, more relaxed, than without. Very easy... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Dear Rrog, I have no idea why adding subs with no crossovers improves the mids, but it does. I put on JL Audio subs crossing over very very low at 25Hz with very little volume (barely on) and the mids opened up and are cleaner and clearer. And the... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... Dear Jimateo, Yr speakers must sound fabulous. I have SC IVAs and these mods helped them go from excellent to superbly musical and captivating. In no particular order they were: 1) soldered the internal speaker wire connection to each speaker rath... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Pryso, thanks for this data. Yes, I believe your basic concept is the answer. Move the speakers bit by bit until you achieve the highest quality or balance. Each room/equipment relationship is different. I know one thing. My speaker are in the wor... | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Thank you all for your excellent responses. So it is clear (whether right or wrong) I added the subwoofers not to extend bass (it was already extended and more importantly of very high quality, which characteristic I have found rare in most speake... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Dear All Dunlavy SC IVa Owners,Has anyone come up with other improvements to the SC IVa since our last thread of Sept 2008? I have since added Walker Feet under the bases of the speakers to good result. And I have added two Sunfire MK IV subwoofer... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Dear All,Again thank you. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately my speakers are very limited where they can go. This is because they are used in my studio to make digital masters and produce my jazz radio show. In fact I never sit down and there is n... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Dear All Who Helped me,As a final note I chickened out on any other changes to my SC IVAs after taking the bases off made such a negative change. My system sounds great since re-attaching the bases so I'll leave it at that. If anyone finds any oth... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Here is what I did to my SC IVAs that didn't work, from subtle to bad. 1. I put short cones under my SC IVA bases. It made almost no difference. If forced to decide, I'd leave them there but either way I don't hear a big or even small difference. ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Thank you all for your continued input. My unsubstantiated premise regarding some of the parts in the SC IVAs is that Dunlavy did not have the time to hand match each component in each speaker. Nor did he want to jack the price of the speaker way ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Again I want to thank all of your for your very helpful and intelligent comments and observations. I hope my questions and quest here will help you all in turn. My concern now is I note two of you did not elect to replace the resistors and I guara... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Thank you all for this. I do appreciate it. I'm new to this. I did have the connections to the actual speaker elements soldered and that made a nice improvement in the sound. Removed a kind of rizz or roughness I had not noticed until it was gone.... |
