| monitors/speakers? Both terms, monitor and reference, have no meaning as applied to consumer speakers. Calling stand mounted speakers monitors is market-speak. | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? I am leaning Grant's way here (on the driver or crossover perspective; I know it's not my system, since it was also used on my Andra IIs)...I only agree with you on the "can't gain 15db during break-in" statement, and not on the room issues. If it... | |
| Bass Drivers - Quickest / Best Way to Break In? Are you kidding? You cannot expect changes on the order of 15dB from "break in," even if you assume that it will change anything. It is room acoustics and/or setup. Putting the speakers closer is not the issue. It is the relationship of the speake... | |
| Help with understanding Stereophile test results. 1. Those are not bad numbers.2. You need to measure more, both in terms of frequency spacing and multiple readings. In-room frequency variations are generally sharper than can be distinguished with certainty from one measurement at only one place.... | |

| Do you ...Center Channel? kr4 = Kal Rubinson | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? If your speakers are set up for multichannel, the left and right are too far apart for stereo. With a 2-channel source like a CD you must come up with a center signal/speaker, or be faced with moving speakers around when playing a stereo recording... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? 05-29-07: Shadorne OTOH, creating a phantom center when there is a discrete center signal creates inevitable phase/time errors in the process. This is noticeable even on-axis but mostly with music sources. Really? How?-----------------------------... | |

| Do you ...Center Channel? Markphd, I find your answer simplistic since the inventors of stereo (which means solid) found that it required a minimum of three channels across the front but, due to the technical limitations of the media of the time, only two were used in the ... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? Jack_dotson wrote: "I always use one for HT, but not for music unless listening for 5.1 SACD, which I normally listen to in two channel as well." Well, of course. Why use a center speaker if there is no center channel signal?OTOH, creating a phant... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? I could live without it for TV/HT but find it essential for MCH music.Kal | |
| How do I combine 2 channel preamp with my SSP? Sure. You connect the main R/L outputs of the SSP to the HT-bypass inputs on the SP16. Then the amp/speakers that are connected to the SP16 are your front channels.Kal | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... BTW, I think it is less that one needs to learn to listen in MCH than that one needs to unlearn thinking that 2 channel is an accurate representation of a real event. We have listened in 2 channel for so long, it has become the de facto standard f... |
