| Subwoofer slam vs boom Thanks for the help all, just pack to tinkering I reckon...The processor has stereo sub outs, with the usual large/small speaker sizes and bass redirect and roll off. Cross points are 50,65,80,90 and so on up. The processor can be switched from on... | |
| Subwoofer slam vs boom I thought I was cheating by using all large speakers. In hind site for a ht setup this might not be true.What is in the .1 track? I wonder if some frequencies are not being duplicated in both the mains and subs. What I have tried to do is let each... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Honestly, when I was done braiding the wire and all the mess, the DIY were going to be better...No matter what :).I had not a/b the cables, until just before this reply. "more noise" between the two- nope. Seems to be the same. I had meant this fo... | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Sometimes you can get a straight screw driver to bite what is left of the screw head. Try different sizes, with a sharper point.Marty | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Bob's not going to like this,I wonder how one could do a DIY active shield? Put a dummy load on a small DC transformer and shoot the current up the shield, or wrap the wire around the cable?I must say that with my limited, yes very limited tester,... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords I might be over taking too simple of an approach here, but I took one of the little pen things that detect current/voltage(hot leads) and went around my system with the supplied(careful wording here...) and it went nuts.With my DIY adventure, the ... | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? I also heard the 8b's at the same time and my experience was the same as yours. | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? 7b's- I only heard these once but,"Where's the bass", is what I walked away with, empty handed.Marty | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons Room size is only a general factor. I am sure I would be moving some day. No married so I just have at it.I really am looking for new speakers and am wondering what a better route might be. It seems that the less cabnet one buys, the better the dr... | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons In general, less than 500sq feet. The average room size, 600 is getting pretty big. | |
| Component video cable? I tried the Straight Wire Silver Link II's vs their cheapo conx one, very little differance. I was surprised as other cables (ic's) can make a huge differance.Must be a video thing or just me...If/when I try again I will try the Better Cables out.... | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons I should have added more specific information, the processor is a Simaudio Attraction with stereo sub outs.The subs currently are HSU VTF-3's(pair) and a VTF-2 on the center run from line level inputs. Might pick up a Outlaw ICMB and only use it o... | |
| Ready to Plunge into Aerials; One more question... Why did you skip the 8's? | |
| Ready to Plunge into Aerials; One more question... Can I ask what other speaker models you looked at and why you choose the Aerial line? I am just beginning my search for new speakers.Sorry, I can be of no help with the center channel speaker.ThanksMarty | |
| Any ideas on Amp selector boxes? What happens when two amps are on at the same time, one wins and one loses. The loser ends up in the repair shop.I did this when I was young, not the best equipment. JVC receiver and a Denon poa-2400 or something along those lines.Granted with bet... |
