| Grilles or No Grilles Stanwal-I know what you are saying but, in the context of this thread, it seems that most people are generalizing and, unfortunately, I took your statement as an example. Of course, the original post is a little confusing as it refers first to "a ... | |

| Filling a 6600 Cu. ft. room The question remains: Do you need to "fill that space" or do you need to have good sound in the portion of it used for serious listening? | |
| Will Squeezebox Touch play iTunes from USB Drive? Additional transmitter/receivers can complicate the matter. To determine if it is a wireless problem, run an ethernet cable from the SBT to the router and see if that has any interruptions.In my case, I had to deactivate the WiFi in my PC because ... | |
| Best Classical Stations on Internet Radio Nothing was directed at you, Ncarv. It was directed at the "personalities" and programming of WQXR.Kal | |
| Best Classical Stations on Internet Radio I like BR-Klassik (Germany) most of all with DR-Klassisk (Denmark) second. MR3-bartok Radio is outstanding except when they go to all-talk (and I don't understand Hungarian).For higher bitrates, the AVRO channels are OK and RCO-Live is excellent.W... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Eee3: So, the grilles off have it!50,000 Frenchmen can be wrong. | |
| Grilles or No Grilles And equally valid is the psychological effect of removing the grilles and believing, therefore, that the sound was more direct. There's little doubt that the grilles change the sound but it is not universally true that the change is an improvement... | |
| Filling a 6600 Cu. ft. room I vote for putting the stereo (one question answered) in a portion of the larger space. First, a subdivision would have to be substantial to be isolated but, second, whatever internal walls you build will introduce their influence on the sound. OT... | |
| Filling a 6600 Cu. ft. room 6600 cu.ft? 30x40 means 1200sq.ft. To get that to 6600cf.ft. means you have a ceiling height between 5 and 6 feet. That cannot be right.I suspect that a pair of Mezzo Utopias might be suitable, especially if you are planning on adding subs. I have... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles I think you cannot generalize. If the speaker was designed and voiced with the grille cloth on, then it will only be able to perform as intended with the grille cloth on. If the speaker was designed and voiced with the grille cloth off, then it wi... | |
| JBL B460 passive sub w/o external crossover unit Nope. The passive sub requires an amp to drive it and your pre-pro provides only line-level outputs. You will need to add a power amp to run that sub.Kal | |
| Dac with volume control and HT bypass HT Bypass? Those are usually analog sources and most DACs have digital inputs. OTOH, as long as you can set the VC at a fixed point for any analog input, it should suffice.Kal | |
| speaker level sub hookup on class D? I suspect that you can but I really wonder why. The sub will only convert that input to line level for its own internal amp and processing. The additional amp is adding nothing except its own noise and distortion; low though that may be, there's n... | |
