Speaker - Room/size dilemma
Another idea, depending on your flooring, is to move your speakers out into the room just when you're listening to music. My speakers sit on a wood floor and I don't spike them. Instead, I use Symposium platforms under them. These platforms have a... 
Shorten my speaker cables?
The old rule of thumb, is that given the choice, shorter speaker cables are more critical than shorter interconnects to the amp(s). I am in the same boat, as I've been using the same 12' speaker cables for many years, but l have finally gone to mo... 
What model are my DCM Time Window speakers if the seril numbers are 7677 & 7677?
Funny, after all these years I only thought about my Time Windows yesterday, when I replied to post about how old speakers may sound great with today's electronics. Then today, here's an inquiry about the Time Windows.I was under the impression th...

Enjoying Some Old Friends Regularly Once more
Congratulations mapman. It's been said, if it once sounded good it still sounds good. And, with newer electronics...even sweeter.Back in 1978, I owned DCM Time Window speakers driven by Sansui electronics. That was the best I could afford at the t... 
Is Audio nirvana real?
I agree with jmcgrogan2, it's a state of mind. I see it as an art form which we all appreciate in different ways. We're all on a voyage of discovery. For me, it's the most authentic reproduction of the recording, whether or not the results are goo...

Even though, I would be inclined to throw more money at this, a builder of subs recommended to me the Blue Jeans LC-1 subwoofer cable. For 20 feet, this would run you around $40. Worth a try?Kenny

Best type of Sub to consider?
Hey guys, is there anyone out there making the H frames for the OB Subs to order? For example, no extended table top or bottom base? So, let's say I wanted them to look like my Horning speakers in terms of styling, like rounded edges, etc.. I also... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
I contacted Danny from GR Research and he was a wealth of information. I wanted to know how an open baffle design would be an advantage in my room's layout. He responded, open baffle woofers don't load the room like a sealed or ported sub. So the ... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
All - There are two parts to this. The first is the quest to best match my room and system layout to a specific type(s) of sub(s). So, the science of it. I really don't care who makes the best sounding sub for me or for anyone else at this point. ... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
Whart - I need to take a break from my busy day and call Brian and/or Enrico to get a better sense of the sealed and ported differences. The recommendation of two subs small and large had to do with the reflections advantage of my room's cathedral... 
Best type of Sub to consider?
The guys at Rythmik quickly got back to me, so they checked out my system and room layout relating to integrating the OB/Dipole subs that have been recommended above. Unfortunately, they did not recommend the OB design with my dynamic speakers as ... 
Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod?
I'm glad I built mine with threaded rod, because l've been moving things around, and changing gear. My rods are brass and they take on a nice patina over time. I have system pics, if you want to check out the wife factor.Kenny
