| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mail,You can also adjust the treble by adjusting the "toe-in" (I assume the MWTs are similar to my 100s in this respect). Be sure to experiment a bit before settling on final placement/orientation.Congrats on the new additions.Marty | |
| Which female artist 5 to start with:Dusty Springfield - "Dusty in Memphis"Shelby Lynne - "Just a Little Lovin'" (covers the above)Marti Jones - "Used Guitars"Joan Armatrading "Track Record"Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" (best sound quality of any pop/rock recording in ... | |
| Townes Van Zandt fans? The best calls have already been made here. You might want to call McCabe's Guitar in Santa Monica. They sell a "TVZ Live at McCabe's" that puts a different spin on some of his songs. Not TVZ at his greatest, but good nonetheless.BTW, you should c... | |
| Rythmik Subwoofin' - 1st Take Bob,EQ was +6db to +10db over virtually the entire range from 25hz to 50hz for the SPLRs, plus 2 bands correcting deep suckouts between 50hz and 75hz. The balance of the EQ was to reduce one narrow bump and to fine tune correction around the x-ove... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? John,One further thought:A lot of folks are going to be limited by cabinet size at SOME point - probably well before they could consider a box housing a 31.5" low excursion driver. The ability to accomodate a huge driver with minimal excursion is ... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? John,The crossover point deteremining "locatability" was NOT the issue. The reason I added the note in my original post about "even in stereo" was because I asked that very question. Rather, I'm sure that you hit it with your descrition of driver ... | |
| Best floorstanders under $600 Upscale Audio is closing out the Triangle Heliade @ $700/pr new. This is a little over your stated limit, but the speaker was competitive at its list price of $1400/pr, so it's worth at least thinking about. It's a good looking, good sounding, eas... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? John,Rythmik Audio does not recommend crossing their 15" model above 80hz. Meniscus Audio, a custom builder (that often -but not always - uses the Rythmik drivers) told me the same thing and added that they prefer to cross most 12" drivers at or b... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? One word of caution re: subs w/extra large large drivers.Just be sure they can be crossed HIGH enough in frequency to suit your needs. I know that people generally like to cross as low as possible, but if you eventually decide that you want to EQ ... | |
| Heads Up:New CD from Holsapple/Stamey JayboVery good question.The Bongos (along with a bunch of other bands) played a tribute concert for Danny Gatton shortly after he died and they just tore the place up. Barone's solo stuff has been fun but maybe a bit lightweight for my taste. Mast... | |
| 1 Subwoofer or Are 2 Better?? Moon,Partly the answer is simply "2 subs" because that allows asymmetric placement in order to minimize room effects - as noted above.However, there's also this:If you listen LOUD to LOW frequencies, 2 is also better because all subs behave worse ... | |
| Klipsch vs. Dynaco A25 A British magazine called (I think) Hi-Fi World has been doing an ongoing series on building a modern version of the A 25. The writer's been using an original A25 as his ongoing A-B reference. The magazine also has ads for someone selling a kit ve... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? My guess is that further extention may not be what you're really after - unless you're a pipe organ guy. If you're down 6db below 33 hz, that's gonna be inaudible on most recordings. There's a coupla keys on the piano that MIGHT be slightly dimini... | |
| Rel vs. MJ Acoustics vs. Sunfire Unfortunately, the subwoofer tests on AVTalk.com seem to have gone dark. IIRC, those tests showed that none of the products you mention are actual SUBwoofers. They are (very fine)woofers whose performance starts to fall apart below app 50hz or so ... | |
| Fleetwood Mac Staples LA Map,Good call on "Oh Well" - right you are. They did a great job with it, too. It was fun to hear LB's take on Green's leads which extensively "quoted" him while not precisely copying him - IIRC.Marty |
