| Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii BB,You're in to needing an external, adjustable crossover, when selecting different amps. The output sensitivity will invariably be different, creating too much mid/too little bass, and so on.Externals are NOT a bad thing. This gives you ultimate ... | |
| Merlin Music System Master BAM and RC mod Great write up.As usual, Mr. Palkovic has another winner.Bobby, has this great capacity, not only to design great speakers, (the man must have one of the greatest sets of ears around, though I prefer Scarlett Johannsen's).His speakers are universa... | |
| Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii Barfbag,(sorry I called you Fishboat)I'm thinking that you can chose high quality caps of the same values and have the same results (with greater resolution, textures, air and space). The method Peter was using, was to dial in different values whi... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Why not tubes? Those who know Bobby, know of his fondness for tubes--and know that his designs are such that tubes can drive them without any problems.Just wondering, it seems a natural choice.Larry | |
| Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii Fishboat,You have a great speaker...Peter Snell was a terrific and prolific designer during his all too short life.The so called thickness in the bass, if you've heard this (someone else mentioned this) would be virtually eliminated with the use o... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? The Sound Lab A-1 was easily the best, AND most musical speaker I've owned.They are everything that the 'glowing reviews' claim them to be.The latest blurb on Sound Labs' site says that oftentimes, they're called the 'storm speaker' as they can re... | |
| Magnepan MG 20 help and recommendations Before doing anything, go to the source--Call Wendell Diller at Magnepan and ask him your very reasonable and appropriate questions. He will be 'mid-western helpful', which is to say, short and to the point--but helpful.Advice from anyone other th... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Maybe I'm late to the party...but I've got to say that the finest talent, new to me, that I've heard in the past 20 years, is Renee Olstead.She's just now 22 years old--but if one goes to youtube and watches her "Someone to Watch Over Me", that sh... | |
| Help with Speaker Selection Vandersteens are always a good/reliable speaker, with good rock potential.Inexpensive AND fun.Larry | |
| Front port vs Rear port The position too near the wall, so to speak, usually manifests itself in nearfield reflections, a larger problem imho than port constriction.Port velocity is usually well controlled in better speakers, with damping material--which changes the pitc... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 mid-range problem Your problem is not the same as THIEL's.The mid range driver 'blew', in my humble opinion, as a result of the incredibly wide band width asked of the THIEL Mid Range driver. The crossover point AND the dynamic askance of that driver conspired to m... | |
| Spectral preamps Casouza,To amplify, no pun there, I have a story about MIT Cables which bears repeating.Years ago, and I mean YEARS, when Bruce Brisson and Karen Sumner partnered in distributing the MIT cables, they quickly, because of her marketing genius, becam... | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler Bsimpson,Very well put...no way to state this better.Since I'm personally about the MUSIC, it's no contest.Larry | |
| Your First Concert was..... Miles Davis, at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY circa 1961. Of course Miles couldn't actually STAY at the Brown, given the racial tone of the day, and even though Louisville was/is not Deep South, but the Northern Gateway to the South--those pre... | |
