To biamp you mainly need to know 2 things:1- Do your speakers have separated Xovers, ussually if they are biwareable Xover should be separate, most importantly: at what freq. do your speakers use the mids from, lets say anything from 500 hz down I... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I am sorry I didnt mean to hurt (or tripe) anybody I was just picturing a world without vinyl, after I did come to find that picture film was gone. I was a vinyl diehard, in the 80´s a friend brought over to my place one of the first CD players to... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? If I imagine a world without vinyl, I imagine the death of high end audio, How many manufacturers will go under when it is finally accepted (in an imaginary world lets say) that Digital is better than vinyl. I heard not without sadness a couple of... | |
| Attenuator recommendations You dont need an active preamp, you are not using a Turntable so no need for phono or diferent sources switching, just CD direct to amps has enough gain. Sell your active preamp and go passive EVS like Tvad said use a low impedance of 1k will prob... | |
