| Bi-amp a two-way speaker makes sense? Andy2, Bi-amping with your 5 channel amp will not give you any more power, You'll still have 125 watts per channel. Now if your amp can be bridged then you could get more power but I find when you bridge power amps they genraly sound not as good. ... | |
| Any opinions on Acurus amps? I run Acurus A-250 and 100x3 for my HT set up and these amps have worked flawless. I disagree with above, these amps are not bright in any way, they do however lack a bit of low end detail and punch, that's where a good sub comes in handy. For the... | |
| Speaker cables for panels of Martin Logan Sequel Go to www.martinloganowners.com lots of good info there. Enjoy the stats! | |
| severe limiting factor Newbee, I agree the room is to small or the speakers are too big, what ever way you want to look at it. Since Ketchup's current speaker setup isn't working, I think he should explore all possible setups first as this cost no $$ and if this fails t... | |
| Which Amp for ML Ascent i? Go to martinloganowners.com as you'll find much more info. I vote for Classe for SS and Audio Research for tubes and if your bi-amping stick with two identical amps as it will make your life easier. Remember speaker placement is critical also, I h... | |
| severe limiting factor Ketchup, You also need to get them farther away from the back wall, I think 2.5 feet is too close, try 3.5 - 4 feet from back wall, 4 feet is better. 6.5 feet apart and no more than 7 feet from speaker to listener. Toe them in slightly but have th... | |
| severe limiting factor I think you stll need to work on speaker placement....even systems that the components are mid fi can create stage and some depth, maybe not the ultimate in these areas but some. I think your equipment has the means to produce the things you want ... | |
| To leave on or not to leave on, that is the ? If you run SS I would leave on all the time, as mention above, it's harder on the equipment. Some SS components have stand by and really all it does is shut the display off and and at most a few curcuits inside. I own both SS and tubes. My amps, P... | |
| Used Record Shows in San Francisco Bay Area... Rasputin has eight stores but the ones in SF, Berkeley, San Leandro and Pleasant Hill sort all there groups but all the other ones just lump them altogether which makes for a long day, Amoeba has two stores, one in SF and one in Berkely next to Ra... | |
| Moving to UK, what to do? I second the PS Audio power plant but go for the P-500 or the older P-600, There is a switch inside the unit and that's it! no new power cords needed, and why your at it bring along a few good receptables like PS Audio power ports and you'll be di... | |
| Phono pre-amp problems Artizen65, I think you nailed it! Talked to a tech at Sonic Frontiers today and they said the same thing, a cap leaking voltage is most likely the problem. The bad news is no vinyl for about 3 weeks but the good news is that this is not a high cos... | |
| Used Record Shows in San Francisco Bay Area... Forgot to mention, the Anolog room in San Jose. Someone had mention another store in the San Jose area but can't remember the name, anybody know? | |
| Phono pre-amp problems Sbank, The clicking noise i'm reffering to is from the phono stage and not speakers. when a component is first powered up it goes into stand-by mode for 10-20 seconds then turns on and a click noise happends, this is normal and the phono stage doe... | |
| Best way to clean records Ditto on the 16.5 machine, record research super deep cleaner and vinyl wash. Takes approx. a minute to clean both sides. | |
| Used Record Shows in San Francisco Bay Area...

Both these stores are as big as grocery stores! Prices are from 1.00 on up, I have purchased... |
