| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? "That pretty much sums up this hobby. If you don't believe that you will hear a difference, you will not. If you do believe that you will hear a difference, you will. "...and back to the topic of the thread, a lot of product marketing that might r... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I think everyone has their own unique findings and perspectives that most others may or will not grasp, beyond the common learnings/understanding . Nothing new there. Not worth getting too upset about. If something works for someone, that's all th... | |
| here is my delima............ darn, I had researched your gear and posted a lengthy response with a multi-step plan that did not make it through somehow + I am too lazy to do it again.In a nutshell...Good news was you have a problem which is solvable, not a dilemma, which is n... | |
| Best bookshelf w/ ribbon tweeter under $2000 Goldenear AON (larger model) at ~ $1000 designed for good sound and value should compete well up to $2000 otherwise. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Disclaimer: OHMs and Peavey commercial horns are opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of design, but I still would be interested to hear how the Crowns might do with OHMs. From what I read they use some Harmon International proprietary Class D c... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I noticed during spinning class at a brand new gym yesterday that the newer Crown Class D amps were being used with Peavey (horn) speakers there. Sound was very good, much clearer and dynamic than older non Class D Crown amps in similar setup at m... | |

| Bass leaves after amp warms up? There are many well received integrateds out there these days that use CLass D amplifiers, even inexpensive Japanese ones from companies like Onkyo. Quality of power supply, which matters might vary widely with an integrated more so than separates... | |

| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I've heard the PSBs sound very good off 100w/ch Rowland Class D switching amp. That would be a good place to start as a reference. I truly believe a good modern Class D amp with good power supply that can mostly double down to 4 ohms can solve OPs... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "I just got off the phone with Musical Fidelity..I was assured the M6i is more than capable of handling PSB Synchrony one speakers."This is a subjective statement. Most listeners out there might be more than satisfied. There is no reason for MF to... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I'm not sure that an issue with eletrical power supply would be consistent with the pattern OP describes for sound deteriorating over time. The amp would appear to NOT be up to the task of driver the PSBs OPTIMALLY given its bench measurements Al ... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Acoustic reflex seems like a natural defense system against what I have read where 80-85 db is the general limit for safe listening without causing damage to hearing. It is very possible that when sound seems to change systematically over time, at... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? If changing source impfoves thingx temporarily, its possible the source selector switch on the amp has a problem. Could be dirty or defective. Ops comment tnat hs is not listening at hign volume would seem to work against the amp not being abl to ... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I have seen cases where old switches in pre-amps or other gear cause a very significant loss of power over time as they oxidize, etc., and good contacts are lost. Same true with volume controls, balance controls, etc.If there are any manual switch... |
