| Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model? Shugho,Can you take an M series amp home for trial? I'd suggest you at least try it for a weekend if you can. I am not saying it works...but at least you have gone well up the NAD range to see...and if you get the right result...you can determine ... | |
| Wilson Maxx 3 A good read Statman...let us know when the Maxx3s are ordered! great great speaker. | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model? Shugho,presume you have no ability to try the Hsu at home. you might wish to call Hsu and ask for their advice...specifically the size of your room and basic system components. As for the amp, i can only suggest you try one at home. Typically i fi... | |
| Tube amplifier to power Sonus Faber speakers? BTW, i do not have good experience with the 845 amps...but edgy is not a word i would normally have associated with them...unless they are bring driven beyond the range where they are comfortable/linear. That might be what is happening in that ins... | |
| Tube amplifier to power Sonus Faber speakers? Interesting...i have always liked SF Homage series with mid-powered tubes and Class A SS. But on the other series, i have found the mid-powered tubes did not seem to be able to bring them to life as well as higher current SS amps. A personal choic... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model? Hi there.1. Agree to buy quality now and 'double up' later if you wish.2. I would think if you are able to get a powered sub, that will allow you to try to blend the 2 speakers using the crossover...or run them in parallel. I have played with Cele... | |

| Final Speaker Decision: TAD R1 vs SF Strad Goosebumps are hard to find in audio sometimes...its a personal thing. And at the end of the day, all audio systems are a compromise in some form or other...so we all pick our personal choices.In your case, i would ask a few questions:1. What equi... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model? Interesting...a few observations:1. You have an exceedingly large space...that will challenge many systems to provide serious bass/impact. Presumably you know this already. After all, you live in the space and know how much volume it takes to real... | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise good news Radioheadokplayer...yes, as Theo mentioned, i also put mass damping on top of the unit...i happen to use 30kg (66lbs) of solid brass weight on top of those HRS nimbus coupler things. Helps a bit yet again. | |
| Advice from apartment dwellers Unless you're in an old unrenovated Brownstone, the bulk of the large NYC apartment buildings actually have good sound attenuation between apartments. That is good. As far as having limited floorspace (so no loudspeakers 7 feet into the room,etc).... | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise You might try isolating your sub from the floor. For $60 bucks, an Auralex subwoofer isolation platform can work extremely well...we use it under our Velodyne DD18 and it is great. Much better bass, and no complaints from the neighbors!Start there... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? ZYAC39Fascinating comments on the WAMM7. Would love to hear the WAMM7 someday. How does it compare more specifically with the Alexandria? Why does the Alexandria pale in comparison? I am told the XLF is voiced a bit more similarly. Any thoughts on... | |
| Class A Coda 15.5 Vitus SS-102 or Gryphon Mephisto Hi Goldman,I am a big fan of Gryphon. I also have heard Forte 4, Krell FPB series, Boulder 2060...all extremely good amps in their own right. I prefer the Gryphon the most but i could have easily built a great system around any of the above. Each ... |
