| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape I was referring to the lifetime of the RECORDINGS ON the tape. I heard that also vibrations (for example keeping it in the car) will erode the quality and reorient the magnetic particles. My VHS tapes (20 years?) have lost pretty much everything, ... | |
| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape Sidenote/unrelated: Just curious: how long do recorded magnetic tapes (here: R2R, but also 8 track, cassette, VHS, etc) LAST before they loose their information? | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman So with the 2 subs, not playing loud enough? | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman What do you mean by 'too small for my room'? Not reaching the SPL you desire? In the mid range or bass? or just 'not loud enough'? I did not see a subwoofer in your equipment list. I use a subwoofer (in both of my systems, one very larg... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging As far as small bookshelves go, what about: Dali Oberon 3 B&W 606 S2, 707S Kef LS50 Meta, Kef R3 Sonus Faber Lumina II, Venere | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @tom2015 Yeah, those ScanSpeak Beryllium seem to be the cats meow for a 2 way (I have always been a fan of ribbon tweeter, but they need a midrange, no good for under 4 or 5k). PRICEY (and hence the Kismets as well, and not very 'common' therefore... | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer Never understood why some subs have remote control. I can see different settings for the home theater sub vs the audio sub (those effect in the .1 channel !). I found myself (on the HT system) often that the TV ADVERTISEMENT producer should start ... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @steve59 That is easy: he uses the cheap china pixeldust from Walmart at one time, and the audiophile quality $50k/pound pixeldust the other time. And uses his home made electrical current with ground rod staked into the equator at 11.11 pm on 11.... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging As mentioned, my single sub is 18". Don't want to trust it to handle 100 Hz (and the Nautilus are not known to be 'weak down low'. But I have to go high in my small setup with various small bookshelf speakers, some of them do NOT feel good han... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @mijostyn Yes, I run one large subwoofer crossing at 50 Hz, and run the Nautilus 804 as 'small' to relieve from 50 and below duty (also relieving the receiver from the heavy lifting for that frequency range). So the Nautilus woofers only have to h... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter reading up on SL6 (SL6s? SL600). Also Thiel CS1 (xxx) mentioned in this context. Opinions? | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Too much thinking/evaluating options. Had a pair of local Vanderstein 1 slip by (gone now for $250), not sure if that is a loss. Friend has 2B, but not suitable audition room, but sounded 'easy', 'light', 'airy'. | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter "254 Hz is middle C! 350 Hz is well into the mid range. RAISE THE CROSSOVER POINT for the subwoofer" The Nautilus 804 has no subwoofer, just 'woofer'. And small ones to begin with, so 350 Hz does NOT sound like a very high frequency ... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging Room size concern: I am currently running my Nautilus 804 as SMALL speaker with lowest sub crossover my receiver can offer (50 Hz). Her two 16.5 cm low woofers cut at 350 Hz, and the large mid range runs from 350 to 4k. Method 3-Way,... | |
| Sound Stage and Imaging @grislybutter just checked the specs of the 2TD-X. Rated at 100W. As with every small speaker: do they have enough (even with help from big sub under 50 or (pushing it) 80 Hz) in them to fill a large (volume vise think 40x40x10) room with 100+ db... |
