| Audio House Keep your criteria in mind when you shop but be prepared to compromise a little if everything else works for you. I shopped for houses and apartments with audio considerations and made out quite well even if not perfectly. Remember that, with dece... | |
| Heard the Ultimate speakers in NYC I see a picture and note on page 48 wherein Paul Bolin makes some very positive comments of the $53K SL1000 speakers. No where is there any endorsement from the magazine or the statement that they were 'one of the best sounding speakers at the Ste... | |
| Heard the Ultimate speakers in NYC Was that a poll of attendees or one person's opinion? | |
| What do you think of the new Linn Unidisk? It is very simple to use. | |
| 2+2+2 Multichannel You are right about the differences between the Chesky and MDG setups. The Telarc, too, is different in that it has a single height channel multiplexed with the LFE channel. I also agree with PBB that it was unfortunate that compatibility with HT ... | |
| 2+2+2 Multichannel Chesky has also offered and promoted 2+2+2 recordings. | |
| 2+2+2 Multichannel Try their website. They have a white paper on the setups. | |
| Sub setup in acoustically dead room It may be the size. It's possible that the larger room supported modes at lower frequencies to your taste/needs. The smaller room will have higher modes regardless of damping. | |
| 5.1 bass management I do agree with most of your analysis but you are suggesting an arrangement that is already a problem since there's no reason to use 100Hz on C and 60 on L/R unless the C is lacking. Phase problems will already exist. Using 100Hz for all is better... | |

| Guilty pleasures and interesting music posts? Black Dahlia (especially in MCH SACD) is beautiful. A bluesy, jazzy, sorta soundtrack on BlueNote. Gorgeous! | |
| Anyone aware of the problems with the Linn Unidisk I've seen none of those glitches as yet. | |
| DVD-A monitor Try one of the small LCD monitors with composite vidio inputs from RS, MCM, PartsExpress, etc. | |
| Center speaker placement I suggest that you place the center channel over the TV and use it for video/cinema sources. If it's quite off center, switch to phantom-center for music. | |
| Freqency response The problem with 'averages' in presbycusis is that the environment plays a very large role and that, of course, varies considerably. |
