| Is your now then? A technics tt,pioneer receiver, parallex speakers was my first system in the early 70s.After many different configurations over the years I'm very happy with CDs, a tube amp,and Zu speakers.I'm feeling that 70s live concert vibe again. Totally sat... | |
| Opinions needed-fatigue Another thing to try is toeing the speakers in so the tweeters are crossing about a foot in front of you or pointing at your shoulders rather than directly at your ears.My brother has to remove his hearing aids when listening to music. He finds i... | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers This same scenario happened to me last week, but the company I purchased the speakers from took care of it immediately (TMR).I paid for residential delivery, but someone at FedEx made a mistake,put the merchandise on an eighteen wheeler then calle... | |
| Could The Music Room biz model be duplicated? A second TMR? There is another one. Or was?I'm not sure if they are still doing business.https://skyfiaudio.comI've been happy doing business with TMR a few times myself. | |
| Sub placement One sub is always difficult to place.At least two are needed to help balance out the peaks and nulls.My two are both behind the listening position in opposite corners. | |
| And My Budget Is... Responsibly well - I like that. I find that in the long run stretching the budget to acquire what you really love saves money. The alternative that actually costs more is settling for something inferior, selling and upgrading in small increments.I... | |
| Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used Ascend Acoustics for new tube friendly speakers. Also Zu Dirty Weekends for a fun less refined sound.For those that enjoy projects eBay has a wealth of vintage JBLs ready to refurbish. | |
| Speaker cable advice My Harbeth C7s respond very well with a larger gauge copper,11 or 12 gauge rather than 14 or smaller. They sound fuller,warmer,and seem to have a bigger soundstage. I stumbled upon this trying two pairs of 13 g from amp to speakers. Any high quali... | |
| ZZ Top-Dusty Hill RIP Sorry to hear this:-( R.I.P. Dusty | |
| What’s the biggest mismatch you’ve seen, heard, or done? Older Krell amp with Klipsch Cornwalls.Ice picks in the ears. | |
| Quality outlets for non-audio DeKay for what it's worth I've had very good luck with Moen for both kitchen and bath fixtures.Eric I replaced all of our outlets 15 years ago.I don't remember the brand, but I just chose the brand that felt and looked sturdy from HomeDepot. They ... | |
| Connecting Klipsch Cornwall to Rotel RA-1062 There should be four binding posts on the back of your amp - two for speaker "A" red + black -. two for speaker "B" red + black -On the front of the amp set the speaker selector to EITHER "A" or "B" and connect to whichever you ... | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound A nice bourbon and turning the lights down low | |
| Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!? Nobody needs it. Lower gain tubes help a little, if one has tubed components. My amp has adjustable gain thank God. | |
| Just wondering about speaker cables It won't hurt anything. You're just increasing your wire gauge is all. But using two totally different cables won't give you the best of both, more like all of each:-)Give it a try and see what you think. |
