| Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce "Room is 16” wide x 14” deep snd have them 3 feet from back wall toed in slightly and tilted back a few degrees."In my experience with the 2Ci model, the set up without any toe-in yielded much better results in terms of soundstage and imaging. Als... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? I experimented with putting a small amount of Blue Tack on the corners between the speakers and the stands and then switched to using the 2"x2"x1" square pads made-up with a layer of cork sandwiched between two layers of rubber. The speaker/stands... | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp You can these adapters if the spade terminals on the cable are too wide. I've used them on my McIntosh amplifier terminal strip.https://www.ebay.com/p/1x-OEM-Copper-Banana-spade-fork-Plug-Adapter-for-McIntosh-Scott-Dynaco-Audio/...My cables have b... | |
| speaker/stand, couple or isolate? Thanks. I agree that applies to the speaker and the stand as a unit but I'm asking about the interface between the speaker and the stand. I know some folks use some material like blue tac to "couple" the speaker to the stand but I suspect that's m... | |

| Does anyone have any impressions about the Aphex Sound Exciter ? Why would anyone want to use a "harmonic distortion generator" in the audio chain? Is it for special effects? | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? This topic has been discussed ad nuseam. A quick search on “Autoformers” would be more helpful than rehashing this topic once again. | |
