| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I'm a big fan of switching amplifiers. Like you I had been using well respected linear solid state amplifier. While it was at the manufacturer for upgrades I purchased a PS Audio HPA-2 that had just come out and not yet been reviewed. Aside from t... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black The OLED's are another story, lol. That's what I would purchase if I was looking today. No questions about it and that's another reason the plasma's are gone.I think it became cost prohibitive to produce high quality plasma tubes and just like V... | |
| turntable/cartridge for old 50's 60's rock records. While I don't share your generalization of reissued and/or remastered LPs I do enjoy collecting vintage pressings. I suggest a high quality record cleaner then consider the deck. A good cleaning of a new reissue can be surprising. | |
| Golden ear sub x The Velodyne FSX or FXR Servo 12 subwoofer is actually a very good subwoofer despite its age. Muddy output maybe due to its poor location within the room and/or poor setup procedure before and after your processors room correction was performed. T... | |
| Subwoofer Polirity +1 sfallDefiantly maybe. I have a polarity preset on my subwoofers remote. Most noticeably with heavely recorded kick/bass drum, polarity can change from track to track on some recordings. | |
| Paradigm Speakers Correct me if I'm missing something. After a cursory search of this website and its guidelines there does't seem to be any rule or suggestion that prohibits or even frowns upon retailers from hawking their goods on these forums. Unlike many other ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it? Kurt, Avalon specifies "26Hz to 34kHz (+/- 1.5 dB, anechoic)." I forget which is lower anechoic or in room. My Eidolons measured 32Hz just a hair below 0dB at the listening position using Velodyne Manual Room Optimization in my room with the spike... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars +1 mr_m My limited experienced suggestion is the most copied of your dynamic speaker choices. The one that hasn't been significantly changed since its inception on a count of they're that good. If your like me you won't be able to realize them fu... | |
| Where to put budget A room large enough to equally space the speakers from the listening position requires less, if any, processing to adjust for time/distance variables which can only be a good thing. You don't need a big room to enjoy the benefits of 7.1. More impo... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen I, for one, have been schooled.I now know that matching beryllium drivers insures coherency and there is an established speaker hierarchy. I just knew old age is having its way, silly me. What's up Doc? | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 ["I would like to hear about others have experience with adding subs to nearly full range speakers? Did you feel you got your money’s worth for "a few silly Hz"?"]Silly Hz? Considering how silly post production can get, many recordings have the ex... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Auditory, I was fortunate to purchase locally a pair of basic cherrywood Avalon Eidolons in 2012 for $11K. In my opinion $35K is in the "world class" neighborhood.In my experience all the Paradigms I owned or auditioned at home were not very good ... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen JUMP SHIP!!!Strictly by chance I listened to a pair of the Persona 9H at a store I haven't been into in a few years being driven by ARC electronics that I've never even seen before, so. I once owned Paradigm Studio 100v1, v2s, and auditioned S8s, ... | |
| Improving 2- Channel Soundstage Consulting with an experienced stereo professional (not a Home Theater installer) may provide the quickest outcome you're looking for.If you have experienced great two channel sound staging at a store or a show one should take note of the environm... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options treebeard, I couldn't possibly change your perception. The affect an HT receivers room correction has or the affect built in room optimization has on a subwoofers performance is a substantial reality. The ability to mitigate system and room integr... |
