| Subwoofer crossovers I'll take the other side of Brad's argument. Unless you're using full-range room EQ (ala Audyssey), the most audible of the passive-treatment resistive, room induced, problems occur between +/- 60hz and +/- 110hz in most rooms (IME, anyway). Bassb... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... "Seeds We Sow" from Lindsey Buckingham(No surprise for those who've read my posts here before).Nine of the eleven tracks on this CD are IMO wonderful songs, just about perfectly executed. Two others, the title track and "Stars are Crazy" probably ... | |
| Speaker Selection with "difficult" room I'm with Plato. Anthem, TacT, Deqx, Lingdorf, or Audyssey are your main options for room correction electronics. Not neccessarily audiophile approved, but probably your best call.You could also go with bass only correction from Velodyne or SVS/Aud... | |
| Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen? Many, many years ago I heard the old Quicksilver monos with the original Vandy 2s and was very impressed. FWIW. | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp Grandtech,Are you using a video monitor to view response during the set-up tone sweeps?If so, you can see the impact of adjusting any of those controls. As you adjust them, the change in the output of the sub will be reflected on screen. Once you ... | |
| Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to Let's not forget "I'm Your Penis" by the Shocking Blue. | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp Edorr,I tried a Marchand (used) from a local dealer, but the example I got was too noisy to keep. While looking around for a replacement, I tried the NHT on a money back trial basis and ended up keeping it.Marty | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp Don't know why my post turned up twice. Strange.You may well be right Al, I was just guessing. The speaker level may go thru the same processing, but intutively, I reached the opposite conclusion....I thought it unlikely that the speaker level sig... | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp If the DD works like my SMS-1 (and I'm told that it's functionally the same), there's a very versatile (fine control of slope, phase, frequency, output level) line level high cut filter to the sub. There's also a crappy, fixed 80hz, 6db/octave low... | |

| Help with options under $1500 A 10' x 12' room is probably going to be tough on anything in the bass (below app 150hz). I'm a great believer in digital room correction for most installations, but I suspect that it will be unusually beneficial in yours.I'd personally take the c... | |
| Sub connection to CARY SLP-05 preamp I think that the problem with tapping a DD sub off the main power amp is that (AFAIK) you can't use the RTA/Room EQ function that the sub offers in that configuration - unless I'm reading this wrong (always possible!) In my book, the Room EQ is pr... | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? I've used my VSMs (again, quite happily) with Cary 300B mono amps. This worked much better in my room than it does on paper. OTOH, I've never tried the sli80, so I can't comment.Sorry 'bout that - and good luck with the new amp.Marty | |
| merlin tsm/primaluna? I've used the PL 6 monos with my VSMs for about 3 years now, with great results. The PLs allow tube rolling and the character of the amps (at least mine) changes pretty significantly with the choice of output tube. My PL amps are a pleasure and I ... | |
| Dedicated listening room design I did a similar project in my last home. I focused on 3 main points:First, fir out the walls (if necessary) to acheive a good length x width ratio. IIRC, 1.4 to 1 was the recommendation in the book (similar to the Geddes book Duke cites) that I us... |
