| Looking for some new floor standing speakers bigkidz......Read the OP. The Vandersteen 5A's are just a TAD over what he wants to spend. | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers I have no experience with many of the speaker models mentioned here. However, I do have some experience with NAD amps but not the M33 in particular. NAD amps mate very well with PSB speakers since they are, or were, sister companies. I've heard mo... | |
| The problem with Magicos Tweaks and adjustments are all part of of the audio experience. Some work and others don't. However, the construction and sound of some speakers may or may not suit an individual's taste. An initial purchase may be very pleasing but after tim... | |
| The problem with Magicos There's a simple remedy here. Take a large hole saw and drill a large hole in the back of each speaker. Then, install a flange like the size you would use to vent a clothes dryer. Then, use a long length of flexible duct hose and feed it to eit... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! I believe I can offer some constructive input as pertains to hearing loss. Years ago in one of my sales positions I sold hearing aids for Beltone. I learned a lot. Some hearing loss is a natural condition that comes with aging. This condition i... | |
| The survival of the fittest. I agree strongly with kenjit and millercarbon. Where marketing power, familiar brand name, and affordability come into play, the masses will spend lesser dollars and afford those companies with larger profits. It's a numbers game. When it comes to... | |
| Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise? Since you're starting off fresh forget about Dac's, streamers, etc. for now. They can come later after the basic system is built. Take millercarbon's advice about a standalone phono stage. I learned that early on. Avoid tables with a built in phon... | |
| powered sub to an Adcom speaker selector box Plenty of good advice from the replies. Here's another suggestion that may offer a more simple solution.......Check out the Outlaw ICBM. It's an active crossover that offers adjustable XOVER frequencies. It is placed between the preout and main in... | |
| Vinyl Engine Registration Problem.....Is there a trick? Not so.....my IP address is static not dynamic. I have worked with computers and all types of issues for years. Just read posts of present and former users of the VE website and see all of the different problems encountered with the site. If you h... | |
| Vinyl Engine Registration Problem.....Is there a trick? Being able to register at VE is not a major concern. What interested me was the blocking from the registration since I am always curious to drill down on Internet issues. One restriction is the use of a VPN, which I do not use. The other is the... | |
| Vinyl Engine Registration Problem.....Is there a trick? I absolutely have not previously registered at VE. Like I said.....the website never allows me to reach the registration page. Many others have stated that problem as well as numerous other problems. Thanks for your response. | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Agreed....for cars nothing beats a high quality carnauba wax if the surface is prepared properly. Aside from the appearance of the finished product that wax offers excellent protection from weather elements. Speakers don't need that. No need to ap... | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Never used it on speakers but I had a black BMW. In certain lighting conditions I could see very faint swirl marks. Most people probably didn't notice but I did. On the recommendation from a friend (professional auto painter) I used the 3M Impe... | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) My room is similar in dimensions to yours. "Enough"? That depends on how much thundering bass you want. A room of that size must be able to accommodate at least a second sub. Don't predetermine where a second sub must go. Sub placement is one of t... | |
| Why so obsessed with bass? Everyone has their own opinion as to what is good bass. A teenager who has 400 pounds of amps and speakers stuffed into a Honda Civic may like to see birds flushed from trees frightened by the booming coming from the car. If that's their goal...go... |
