| Best speakers, used, for around $1,000. Snell CV or Type D. Superb used buys. | |
| Has anyone tried 2 amps in stereo mode? It's not a bad idea. You will hear a more effortless presentation. And biamping this way allows the amp to direct more power and current to the channel driving the woofer, and will completely eliminate any chance of crosstalk between amp channels.... | |
| Review: B&W B&W 603 s3 Speaker I certainly understand that more money will get you more. But this is a product that exceeds the price/performance ratio substantially. The Snell Type D can be had for less money used than the 603 new. But for all of us who love to buy used and sa... | |
| taming studio 100's I modded a pair for a friend 2 years ago. Upgraded caps, inductors and resistors. Two weeks later, after burn-in, he was one happy camper. Cheap crossover parts can hold back an otherwise excellent design. | |
| taming studio 100's Modify the crossovers. This will make the most substantial improvement, greater than cable tweaks. There is much room for improvement on your crossover boards. | |
| Upgrades to kef 104/2 - recommendations I would recommend revamping the crossovers with better components. The design is quite good, but the crossover could probably use upgraded caps, coils and resistors. | |
| Recommendations on mid-fi speakers They actually use Seas, ScanSpeak, Peerless, etc.Neil | |
| to buy or not to buy acurus act3 200five combo? Contrary to some opinions, I would go for it. The A200 can sound slightly sibilant, but a couple of modifications will get rid of that. The ACT-3 bugs were sorted out as time passed. By the way, are the speakers homebrew? | |
| Hovland musicap capacitor: What does it do? In a nutshell: a Zobel compensates for a driver's voicecoil rising impedance with frequency. They are most often employed on midbass drivers. But they can also compensate for a harsh sounding tweeter. Neil | |
| Recommendations on mid-fi speakers Correction: The Totem Arro uses a custom Peerless CSX woofer.Great speaker! | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? Best current production tubes, and better than many overhyoed NOS tubes. | |
| Snell type B:any upgrades? I do crossover and electronics upgrades as a business. That's a great pic of your crossover, and it's nicely laid out, with SOME good parts. But there are at least 27 components that I have counted in that picture that could be upgraded. That woul... | |
| Snell type B:any upgrades? Zaikesman,Agreed. The J and K were quite good. But the D had a stunning ability to disappear, which floats by boat! | |
| Snell type B:any upgrades? I would agree there - I think the D was the best speaker Snell made, and I owned the A and C/V. | |
| Snell type B:any upgrades? Everyone forgot one possibility, the strongest one - upgraded crossover parts. Don't even think about changing any of the drivers. You will destroy the speaker. But upgraded coils, caps and resistors will make a substantial improvement. If you can... |
