Need help with wiring second pair of speakers
Y'all have convinced me that I had an ill conceived idea. Thank you for saving me the time and trouble of trial and error. 
Need help with wiring second pair of speakers
Thanks for the clarity. The second speakers would be in the same room. The idea is to balance the voice of the first set, which are what some call "bright" or "analytical", with the second set that are "laid back" or "mellow". I'm thinking that a ... 
Mellow speakers
educeus, sorry about the delay in getting back to you but I've been out of town and away from my computer.  I'm in North Georgia, on the border with North Carolina and close to Tennessee; 100 miles north of Atlanta, 100 miles west of Asheville and... 
Mellow speakers
I have a pair of KEF 105/3  four-way speakers (two woofers).  They have been recently re-foamed and recapped.  They sound great but a little too "mellow" or "laid back" for my new space.  They can be had for a very reasonable price but are heavy (... 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
Someone please explain "time aligned" 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
Thanks oleschool, I will certainly check out your recommendations.  
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
Johnnyb:Based upon your experience with OMD-15s, what length spikes or feet would be appropriate to enhance the bass?  How high off the hardwood floor should I go? 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
This set up is not in a dedicated listening room but rather in our living room and  I don't think my wife is going to stand for bass traps. Anyone else experience a similar problem? (lol) 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
Well, I've been strongly considering trying to stretch my budget and get an SVS SB-1000 (piano finish) but I came across an excellent deal on a "like new" Sunfire HRS8 and, based somewhat on the praise for it on this forum,  I bought it.   I will ... 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
My OMD-15s are sitting a a very solid hardwood floor over a plywood sub-flloor  built on a concrete slab.  Contact between the speakers and floor is rock steady.  I wonder if I'd get more bass by putting the speakers on feet to isolate from the fl... 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
Thanks all for the good information and suggestions.  
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
The two subs I'm looking at are the NHT Classic 10 and the Energy ESW8. Both of these have fully variable crossovers and they both have the black piano finish that would match my mains; not necessary but a bonus, all other things being equal.  Is ... 
Vandy 3A and "Signature"
Thanks; great link for comparison of the 3A and 3A Signature. 
Buying Without Audition
Discretion being the better part of valor, rather than delve into the unknown I decided to have my KEF 105/3 Reference Series speakers (circa 1990) serviced.  The foam surrounds and donuts for the four woofers have been replaced; the crossovers ha... 
Buying Without Audition
I don't mean to be didactic, but only want you to gain a skill set, before buying speakers based on others reviews. I'm not a newbie and have been playing around with hi-fi equipment for over 45 years.  The nearest "big city" is Atlanta which us...
