| KEF LS50 Metas paired with Marantz PM7000 (not PM7000N)? @turnbowm - The Metas arrived on Monday. I've been driving them with the PM7000 with no obvious problems. The sound is great; however, there might be room for improvement with a better amp. I did not notice much of a difference when I compared the... | |
| Powered Subwoofer connected to integrated amp's speaker outs? Update: I had emailed REL with my concern and this was their response:The High Level input on all of our subwoofers has an impedance of approximately 150,000 ohms, compared to the 4-8 ohm impedance of most loudspeakers. As a result, when a REL sub... | |
| KEF LS50 Metas paired with Marantz PM7000 (not PM7000N)? Thanks to all who responded so far. I emailed KEF with this concern, and this was their reply:"The Marantz you are looking into would be a good pairing. We list the LS50 META as an 8 ohm speaker because the system has an 8 ohm impedance. This will... | |
| Powered Subwoofer connected to integrated amp's speaker outs? Thanks to all who have replied to my posting! I really appreciate it. It appears that I won't have a problem at all with my desired setup. | |
| How can I get a discount on Roon lifetime price $699 Emergingsoul, that's a bummer. I wish that I could help you out, but I have no experience whatsoever with the Nucleus. I run Roon core from a headless Debian VM on my FreeNAS (now TrueNAS) mini. I also have all of my personal music on a SMB share ... | |
| How can I get a discount on Roon lifetime price $699 I recently purchased the lifetime subscription at $699.99. I really like Roon, and I really don't see it disappearing in 6 years. Yes 700 is a lot of bones, but think about it this way. 699.99 / 119.88 is 5.8391. So the break-even point is 5 years... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? Thanks for everyone’s input and advice. I rotated the driver, and it only improved the crackling only marginally if at all. It was worth a try, though.@bigkidz does Miller Sound sell used Vienna Acoustics parts or is Bill Legall good at fixing the... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? @audiokinesis You're probably right about the overheating hypothesis. I think I may have damaged it via clipping. These are 4 ohm speakers, and I had been driving them with a Marantz PM7000. Marantz says to not drive speakers with impedances less ... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? @steve59 I'm not exactly sure how loud. I don't have a decibel meter on hand. It's not enough to hurt the ears, but I tend to like my music a bit on the loud side. I do know that I do not experience the same thing on the other speaker, so it appea... | |
| What's wrong with my speaker? @kenjit No not at all. I was only hoping that it was a stabilization issue and not a problem with the driver itself. I've heard tell of people adding foam etc. It's most likely not a wiring issue. I've checked all directly connected to the driver ... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker? @mofimadness , I just hope my Marantz PM7000 will drive them with not too much trouble. I might have to upgrade the amp as well. It's nominal impedance rating is 8ohms and the Vienna's are 4ohms. I've read of others driving 4ohm speakers with the ... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker? @mofimadness , Thanks for your help. Yeah, these aren't the greatest but a pretty good bang for the buck at least when that review came out and gauging by what the review says.It's ok, because I just upgraded to these bad boys, anyhow: https://tmr... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker? @mofimadness , they are indeed not Snells. Someone switched out the badge, whether it was the guy who sold them to me or someone who duped him, I will never know. I opened it up and the back of the woofer is stamped with KLH Audio Systems, and tha... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker? @mofimadness , that's my next move, to open them up. It's not only because of the badge that I think they're genuine. I bought these from a coworker. He's actually the one who turned me on to Audiogon. He seemed fairly honest, but so are the best ... | |
| Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker? @mofimadness , It boggles my mind, however, that someone would go to so much trouble to counterfeit a model on Snell’s low end. I bought these circa 2000. Might they be a custom job that Snell built, a one off? |
