| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Ron,I can only assume that you're kidding. Grammar and syntax? Psst - I got a secret for ya. Folks take some liberties with the formal rules of the language on this here internet thingy. It's called "conversational" English and it's assumed to be ... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Ron,I hold a Masters degree from the Stern school. I have been published more than once. I can play a piano. The last concert I attended was an organ recital at the Great Cathedral in Passau, Germany, the largest such instrument in Europe. I have ... | |
| Audio Research amps - balanced & non Dgarretson,With a single ended input through an XLR adaptor the VT -130 SE will produce less than half the power output that it will produce with a true balanced input signal and that only with THD nearly an order of magnitude higher. I'm unsure o... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Ron,Your capacity for error is impressive.I never said 1st order crossovers were worse than any other design, merely that they presented their own advantages AND disadvantages. I assure you that Thiel, Vandersteen, and Dunlavy would be the first t... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? 9RW,I don't know why you'd be surprised that I've kept the LS 25. Oh, yeah, I do - it's because you're not remotely as clever as you think you are. I don't replace electronics in my listening room very often. The ARC stuff is nearing age 12/13/14i... | |
| High efficiency bookshelf speakers for 300B SET You're not going to get a lot of deep bass out of any bookshelf (that I know of) with sufficient sensitivity to mate with a <10wpc 300B amp. I used a pair of 3a deCapo (large-ish) monitors successfully with a pair of Cary 300B monos. Dynamics a... | |
| Has anyone hear the Anthony Gallo 5LS Towers? Glad you liked 'em so much. I didn't get a head to head comparison with the 3's, so you undoubtedly got a better read on the relative capabilities of these two models than I did. Either way, the 5 is a great sounding and looking system, for sure.M... | |
| Tube Amp and Sonus Faber I've got a pair of SF Minuettos (3 generations or so earlier than the Concertino) in my home office. I think the specs are similar @ app 85 db/1w/1 meter - I'm not 100 sure about that - between the 2 models. I use 100 wpc of SS amplification with ... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Since the last 8 posts here have been Bobby and 9rw and are OT, I'll start a new thread for you guys, see:Another Merlin ThreadThen we can return this one to "regular programming" for the OP. Marty | |
| Looking for basshorns Go to Decware.com, click on "Speakers" and scroll down. I have never heard any of these products, but I believe one or more may meet your description.The last 4 or 5 items will be horn loaded subwoofer enclosures. Personally, I like the one shown ... | |
| Audio Research amps - balanced & non Sorry, I didn't see the bi-amp part of your post. Some active x-overs will output a true balanced signal even if the input is single ended. The NHT x-2 is an example. If you bi-amp as follows: Source -> ARC sp-10 -> NHT x-2 -> ARC vt-130 ... | |
| Audio Research amps - balanced & non The VT-130SE does not have a phase splitter and requires a true balanced input to operate correctly. If the SP-10 is not a balanced design you can't run it directly into a VT-130 SE.Good LuckMarty | |
| NEW SVS PB12-Plus If you go to the forums page on AVTalk.com and HTshack.com, you'll see a link for subwoofer tests. There, you'll find threads with results for many different SVS models, as well as their competition. Based on these results, the SVS PB series clear... | |
| Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100? Someone's asking $2K for a pair of VMPS RM 40 ribbon towers on A'gon right now. I doubt that there are many speakers out there that will produce the kind of high output below 30hz that these will (I assume that meets your description for rock and ... | |
| Amps for Ohm Walsh 100S3 Joe,Congrats on the purchase! I own 100s and they should be a great choice for you, given your taste in music. I, too, enjoy guitar music of every variety, including the slack key stuff from your 'hood.50 to 75 wpc should work well, but I wouldn't... |
