| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? So yes, the crossover is set correctly in the M5s, the batteries were done at Vandersteen, and they have not expired. The manual says that testing the voltage actually drains them and that they should be good until the dates marked. | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? @holmz --Congrats on the VCC-5. I haven't been able to find one in black in some time. Damage to the other drivers, not the sub. It's in the manual. Regarding the frequency and having a Xover, it's for any Vandersteen sub product (except the V... | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Second night of listening. Definitely a little clearer and better defined. Slight bump in midrange, which I like. Less bass (maybe 1.5dB), but I just bumped up my levels. Bass is crisper, too--kick drums and such--so it's wasn't just the trebl... | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Well, I finally tried it last night. To @gdnrbob 's point and last post, I do trust RV's ears and experience. He didn't really tell me one way or another in terms of sound when I asked him, though. I need to do more listening, but I detected a ... | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? @holmz Thank you. I'm always tweaking, but getting the Quatros was a milestone when I got them. They were my price/performance bullseye for "forever" speakers, and I had owned 1Cs and then 2Ce Sigs before getting a really good deal on them fro... | |
| Theta Jade or Basic II I've been looking at older Theta transports, too. Has anyone compared these to the newer models used just as transports? While common sense would seem to say that something purely focused on CD would be better, I read somewhere a very good revie... | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Yes, I think I will give it a whirl when I get a free afternoon. Just start the volume off very low...😁 | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? fiesta75 Why would you want to do that? Are they not bi-amp capable? How many separate amplifiers are you planning to use with them? If you're going to use an amplifier for each driver, lows, mids and high frequencies, 3 or more like I'm doin... | |
| Vandersteens-- Removing M5-HPs for a Digital Xover? Thanks. Yes, I asked Richard, and he said to leave them but also said that it can be done. So..? I didn't want to press him on it. I never had a processor that could define the slope before like this one so that I know I am getting it exactly ... | |
| Why Do All Arcam Units (and Maybe Others) Have Only Two-Prong Power? Violating the ground of something designed to be grounded can kill you. Just saying. I actually experienced the opposite. I had two-prong outlets in an older home before building new. When I ran my same system/amp again in the new place on ... | |
| Why Do All Arcam Units (and Maybe Others) Have Only Two-Prong Power? Thank you for the answers. I don't know why I never got a notification that there were any... So is it possible for Class II units to have "fully balanced" topology inside? Are Arcams? | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper Interconnect It looks like this post is somewhat dead, but I would like to share my experiences with them and ask a little advice...So my background is in professional AV, and I ended up working in a very high-end music shop (a lot of 2-channel) for a year out... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute cables with Wilson Alexia? What did you prefer, Barto? I'm curious and always looking to hear what else might be better. I agree with your statements. | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute cables with Wilson Alexia? I started purchasing and demoing their cables in my system after reading many great reviews and because I was somewhat disappointed and "searching" for a different and better sound. I had Transparent Reference (MM2) everywhere--power, interconnect... | |
| Transparent Cables and Bi-wiring to Vandersteens Awesome feedback. I think I will get some separate runs made up and compare. This could be a HUGE cost savings, too. Has anyone tried Transparent's bulk cable? I know they have a 14-4-conductor to do bi-wiring, but I think they also have a solid-s... |
