| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative It is understood that only the original woofer will net the original result. But if that is not a requirement, what other drivers would FIT and have similar characteristics. There are THOUSANDS of example where (particularly for vintage speakers)... | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Isn't ALL our equipment running on DC (internally)? With all the discussion (in the esoteric faction here) about power to feed them, why is no one making (or offering a stripped down version without power supply) DC equipment (from DAC to amp to t... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." If you invest upward of (say $250) in an audio system and do NOT BUILD a house (or at least 'barn' or complete addition from ground up) to put it in (including floor, walls, ceiling, power supply (obviously, nothing but a solar powered bttery bank... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Who has (no or in the past) tested (incl published tests) the DD15 against - old or new - subs in the (new or used) price range? What are strong pionts? What are weaknesses? | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? At $1100k, I would just spend $400k on equipment and $400k to build a suitable listening HOUSE. $300 for nice car to get me from my living house to my listening house with wet bar and tailgating room. | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Would bi-amping (class D brute plus tube) help? | |
| Bi Amping: highs and lows or a seperate amp for the left and right. "Plus, you can run the tweeters or mids/tweeters from a channel that doesn’t have the burden of driving heavier woofers, which has some benefit too." Not in vertical. There, the amp's ONE channel is burdened, and typical stereo amps share power su... | |
| Bi Amping: highs and lows or a seperate amp for the left and right. Why would I bridge? And what, the amps? if bridging amps, would need 4 stereo amps then instead of 2. The amp is currently driving the speakers without issues, i don't think the impedance changes when splitting low/high? Just that the low will h... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? HSU was also mentioned. and maybe the sealed SVS SB-3000 is a better comparison to the DD15. If ported is tolerated, then the PB-3000 and HSU VTF-3 may fall into the ($1,000, used) category. HSU 15 looks seriously (way too) big, approaching the s... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Maybe someone has a side by side comparision of the modern SVS SB-2000 and the Velodyne DD15? | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? If nothing works: put 2 wood screws (in new holes, small pre drill but not all the way through) in. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? I often half insert the screws back in, push/pull them to the side (to jam) and apply lifting force to seperate the seal tape from the wood. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Currently driving it with an external class H brute, 'no controlled'. Does the job. Surprised how much amps it sucks in. Switched the class D to mono bridge mode to stay out of the first red clipping light flickering at high volume. Amp is QSC 702... | |
| Infinity Quantum 2 - crossover - tri amp Already getting helpful tips from one reader on DIYaudio. I may just start with active bi amping, running the two Watkins coils in parellel and use DSP driven by big power amp (have class H and class D on hand), then the passive network for the ... | |
| Subwoofers: Ported or sealed? Sealed with correction and plenty of power. |
