| Need advice on bi-amping That 3dB wattage gain is theoretical since the power driven through the LF is the limiting factor such that the additional power though the HF is rarely realized. | |
| Need advice on bi-amping Bi-wiring is of even less value than passive bi-amping. | |
| Multichanneled amp question? It will not have any effect. | |
| Need advice on bi-amping There is little or nothing to gain from bi amping in this way. You can try it and decide for yourself. | |
| D2v vs Classe ssp800, which would you prefer? The XTZ measures whatever you feed it to. You can feed it to one channel, some channels or all channels. For EQ, use a single channel to develop the filters but pairs/multiples to confirm results. | |
| the best, cost-no-object, music streamer? The Sooloos is an extensible system including storage, distribution and rendering. You can get all three in one box (controlled by an iPad app) or you can get a multiple zone, multiple storage system with multiple dedicated touch-screen controllers. | |

| High quality AC turntable motor Some years back, I designed/built a little sine/cosine generator based on the B-B 4423 chip. Long discontinued but old stock can sometimes be found.If interested, you can see the datasheet here: http://www.icmaster.com/PartDetails.aspx?Part=144094... | |
| Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system Also, probably, the DAC will have to support DolbyDigital, not just PCM. | |
| Wiring confusion with JL sub and components Simple answer. 1. The manufacturer of the integrated amp has not chosen to accommodate a sub as an option because his market analysis told him that it was not cost effective.2. The manufacturer of the subwoofer has not chosen to accommodate speake... | |
| Wiring confusion with JL sub and components Surely, someone makes an inexpensive buffer/line driver these days. All it takes is a chip or two with connectors. Easy for DIY but I could not find one assembled from a quick Google except for car audio (http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Co... | |
| sub with two sources - can processor control gain? Yes, it can control the gain on the sub as part of the calibration but there is a definite possibility that the gain setting selected for the 2 channel rig will put the sub beyond the processor's adjustment range. That will depend on the relative ... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels "Really good speaker placement" is undeniably essential but it cannot fix the acoustical problems of a room with unfortunate dimensions and inappropriate surfaces (lack of absorption/diffusion). You just make the best of a bad situation. | |
| Office partitions as sound panels I want to point out that (1) 3" is not sufficient for a bass trap, depending on the construction/materials, (I use 6" OC705 and tuned traps) and (2) the plastic foam used by Auralex is less efficient than is packed mineral wool (fiberglas, OC 703,... |
