| Home Wiring Improvements For Better Quality Sound @cleeds Why would using a compound that enhances conductivity and reduces corrosion over time within an electrical service panel be a bad thing? | |
| Speaker Improvement Advance Design Better Upgrade @johnk This puzzles me a bit. So are you suggesting that only the slimline tower speakers are not collectible or all towers are not collectible. And why wouldn't a subwoofer be considered a collectible? This is not me calling you out for what you ... | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? Sadly or maybe not so sadly, there is no magic formula for what is going to sound best. The room itself, its size and shape, listening position, acoustic treatments, type of music and whether or not you intend to augment low frequency response wit... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? What you are saying is true but as a rough estimate my approach gets you in the ballpark of what you are looking for. Speakers that are rated for much higher power than 100 watts won’t suffer significant power compression or at least they shouldn’... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? No one did any math....91 db sensitivity would give you 101 db at 10 watts or 111 db at 100 watts. That is for the peaks in the music...if the peak levels you experience when you listen are less than 111 db, which they probably are, 100 watts is a... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. I know this is an old thread, but the Sig III's rank among the best I have ever heard. Very flat across the spectrum to the point of being a bit bass-shy if anything. Still when there is heavy bass in the music they speak up. You will not find any... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I am not at all horrified by any of this. I am thankful streaming works well enough to meet the quality standards I demand without a whole lot of fussing about. I appreciate that physical media may in fact be better but in the final analysis I am ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes It seems to me, and in this bunch there is someone who will correct me if they think I am wrong... :) IT seems to me that there are very few things that determine the accuracy of the played signal out of our streamers. Number one is the source fil... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands One thing I did not see mentioned that is in my estimation worthy of consideration is the Class D Hypex amps with tube buffer. Extremely low noise and presumably with the tube buffer offers some tube flavor to the mix. Throw in whatever SS preamp ... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Given that money comes in uneven increments or at least that is how it is for me, throwing down enough to buy a whole stack at one time has been a completely impossible thing all my life. Everything I have acquired in home audio gear has been done... | |
| picking speakers (and electronics) for a relatively large room - new As an owner of Ohm Walsh 2000's and a pair of Legacy Signature III I would say based on my experience and the OP's tendency to move around the room while listening, the ohm F5 with the built in subs would most likely scratch your itch. Since those... | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? I miss my old 40" Panasonic Plasma....god that thing was so good...but it was power hungry. and the TCl qm6k is very nearly its equal in every way. and for much less money and much lower operating cost. | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? Just a heads up for those looking for really good performance for less money than you would think you should be required to spend for good performance. the new TCL Qmk6k in the 65" inch version is a serious bargain. Its accuracy is better than ave... | |
| Recommendations for a new subwoofer? I can heartily recommend SVS as a sub source. I have a pair of PC2000 subs that are surprisingly good and will in the right room give performance well below 20 Hz | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Ok I'll chime in...the equipment we buy whether its an 80 dollar wiim mini or the top of the line wiim, will in many cases will be wholly adequate because it isnt the weak link in the chain. Many of us or at least some of us have quite limited fin... |
