| Subs with Maggies??????? There are a few threads on this topic - you might search for them. Short answer(s):1) the right subs will go deeper than 3.6s, may not matter much for music.2) even if the bass from doesn't go deeper, it will sound different than the same frequenc... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room I know that many A'goners are happy with Wilson speakers in small rooms, but...While others will disagree, I've always felt that most of the Wilsons I've heard (going back to the original WAMM with Crown electronics)sound like they're "voiced" for... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Shadorne,I agree completely. I've always felt that his band was outrageously good. Their music always seemed to just spontaneously start a party. So, when I was planning my wedding six years ago, I actually tried to hire Booker T. & the MGs fo... | |
| Which songs/albums take you back to college? Freshman year, some guy down the hall in my dorm played "Lady" by Styx (or was it Kansas?) over and over at high volume. I still shudder whenever I hear it.Bob Seger (Live Bullet) was always in rotation in Michigan. The first Boston album was rele... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Sean,I use Ohm 100s with subs and find that they are in that group of speakers which doesn't really sing til you turn 'em up a fair bit. Just MHO. BTW, I love the speakers. As trade-offs go, I'll take this one.Marty | |
| Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP BTW, I saw one of Elvis' last concerts (in Ann Arbor, Mi) during my college years (late '70's). There were some recreational chemicals involved and Elvis was certainly well into his terminal (bloated) stage as a performer, but my memory of the sho... | |
| Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP I have always maintained that you cannot truly understand America until you've been to Graceland. About halfway through the tour, when we were ushered into one particularly ridiculous room (among many impressively ridiculous rooms), I started laug... | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Mjm,I own a pair of gloss black 12" Rythmik SE subs with the 300w non PEq amps (this saved $100 per unit). I substituted this amp because I use external PEq (Velodyne SMS-1) and don't need the extra 70 wpc with dual subs in my room. They are very,... | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? For me, small speakers are a "pick your poison" proposition.If you want octave to octave balance (my #1 priority), you have to sacrifice bandwidth at both ends or accuracy (or both). A little mid-bass hump, while inaccurate, restores balance. IME,... | |
| DVD/Turntable Dilemna According to the (very reliable) HT dealer who did my install, 25 feet is just about the point where HDMI cabling gets iffy. Give it a try - my set up (HDMI to the projector at rear of the room from electronics app 25' linear feet away, near the s... | |
| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did I'm with Brewed on Bassbusters.Bass EQ was the other half of the equation.Marty | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far I just picked up Booker T's "Potato Hole". I suspect that it will prove to be my favorite record of the year (over the long haul). It's a little odd, however, since so little of the record (other than the title track) is the funky Booker T of the ... | |
| TAD 125 Hibachi ll amps IME, the original Hibachis were definitely on the warm side for ss amps - but I haven't heard the IIs yet. FWIW.Marty |
