| bi wiring Just as counterpoint, some of Theo's statements are simply not true. For example, "I beleive that the benefit of bi-wiring is that a seprate run from the amp output allows the frequencies to seperate according demand." Cables cannot do this withou... | |
| Passive Sub Woofer connections ?? In case A, there's the possibility of a HP filter being inserted to remove the low bass from the main speakers. In case B, that possibility doesn't exist. The user's manual should say so.Kal | |
| Anyone familiar with: Pickering Pickering, of course, was the consumer twin to Stanton Electronics which is still, I believe, situated on Long Island NY. | |
| b&w? in a bright room??? You do not describe enough of your room but it seems as if it is somewhat bright (from your assessment) and it has a hard reflective floor (and, I presume, ceiling). You should consider acoustic treatment for your room. It can be unobtrusive or, e... | |
| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... The Boyk paper makes no such speculation and it is, frankly, old news. As for the speculation (it was not a finding or otherwise demonstrated) in the referenced paper that the saccule might be a transducer for such high frequencies, it is hard to ... | |
| The importance and effect to and above 20kHz... "Good point. Not many people are aware that we can't even hear proper waveforms above 4 KHz....the ear's nerve bundles fire too slowly! In order to hear above 4 KHz the brain relies on two things; beat frequencies and differences in timing of what... | |
| How's this for speaker break in? What can you possibly conclude from a non-statistical result that lacks a control? Just enjoy the sound.Kal | |
| Will SACD Formats Play through a Standard DAC? The answer, in general, is that all digital outputs from an SACD must be encrypted in some way or other, at least if you play by the rules of the SACD licensing agreement. So, the relatively standard links that RW mentioned do this. In addition, t... | |

| Bi-amping Paradigm Reference 100's - good idea? Biamping will not change that. Getting the best power amp for your budget (and good placement and good room acoustics) will.Kal | |
| Bi-amping Paradigm Reference 100's - good idea? IMHO, it is a waste of time. There's no significant power advantage over a 200WPC stereo amp and, for the same money, you might get a better 2 channel than 4 monoblocs. (Of course, I do not know what you are paying for these, but comparable stereo... | |
| J&R salesman says turntables outsell CD playe 10:1 I don't believe it. J&R sells Cd players in an number of their divisions but TTs in only one, afaik.Kal | |
| How high do subs go Acoustat6 wrote: "Hello, Not only do cheap ones go to 80hz but good ones too." Yeah but the OP asked about 180Hz, not 80Hz.Kal | |
| How high do subs go Small cheap ones. Sorry, but 180Hz is not the range for a sub; it's in the range of a woofer (or, even, some midranges).What's the application?Kal | |
| Can I Bi-amp speakers with single surround amp? Not a problem although I'd go with two higher-quality and more-potent channels, instead.Kal |
