| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup My recone/refoam friend is attempting rebuild. Will likely end up with foam reversed (sticking out like most drivers, nut inverse like original), but try original orientation first. Supplier of the foam indicates in description what it can be done... | |
| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup yogiboy, I need to replace the busted (foam, and broke voice coil leads) midrange Peerless KO40-MRF 8 Ohm. Not the Kef woofer (seems to work fine). | |
| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup kr4, thank you very much. No need to find 8 ohm version (ebay has a 4 ohm refoamed listed). Any suggestion for good replacement if I don't find exact match? | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? Sounds like the IRS are still competing well with modern speakers. I would have guessed that they had fallen behind due to decades in material (and electronics) development). | |
| Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist? Thanks. Being used so rarely, the very obvious advantages must be shadowed by overwhelming disadvantages. | |
| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? I mean the 'big' system Infinity Reference Standard IRS. | |
| The Highest - Suprema @jbthurston : I actually LIKED that (smooth, relaxed, ’easy’), and pointed it out to Livio during our conversation, and he confirmed that it very well fits the overall (and traditional) Sonu faber sound philosophy. I later went back and forth b... | |
| The Highest - Suprema @curiousjim : they pointed out the obvious to us (they ARE a McIntosh store), but consciously decided on the Burmaster. | |
| The Highest - Suprema They had them at the show in Chicago, but this was (I was told) the first time they were in a store. We had received invitation from Paragon Sight and Sound in Ann Arbor, MI and made the trip early that day (and were the first in the door). We had... | |
| The Highest - Suprema The issue with LS3 5A: "Klipsch later allowed that “For the blood stirring levels of a full symphony orchestra, you should have 115 dB at your ears.” He no doubt had instantaneous peaks in mind". Even a meak 100 dB in my VERY laraage (volume and s... | |
| The Highest - Suprema I would think the subs demand a lot more amps than the towers, hence the 159. I never sat in the front row of a concert, so I cannot say how it should sound :-) | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? Just curious regarding 'headroom' (and potentially limiting it using a power conditioner): can someone link to articles where they measured the actual draw of (high power) amps? I would assume the outpout power demand peaks are very short and shou... | |
| A listening test of two power amps I was hoping (like the OP) to read some OPINIONS or IMPRESSIONS comparing the 2 recordings. I don't see ONE (maybe hidden in all the other non relevant comments). Neither my ears (listening skill) nor may system are good enough to make a judgement... | |
| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" I think once a cable is burnt IN (best to measure that time), then you can only use it for 2x the burn in time before it is so altered that it is burnt OUT (you know those atoms and molecules get so dizzy from changing around that they start twist... | |
| T&A Criterion TB 160 - any around? German manufacturer ("Theory and Application). The Criterion TM160 scored in the highest group in their test (decades ago; Stereoplay magazine). And interesting conept of combining 2 principles (and praised for their bass); test also decribes th... |
