| how to connect a passive sub to my av reciever One idea;Sub out (via RCA or XLR) from pre-pro or AVR ---->(RCA or XLR input on) the Subwoofer Amp, then Subwoofer amp out (via speaker cable) ----> (via speaker cable) Passive Subwoofer in. | |
| How to set up Velodyne dd15 If the DD outputs it's response to video like the SMS-1, adjust for flat response and tweak by ear from there. The huge problem with auto-set is that it doesn't utilize the parametric capabilities of the software.Marty | |
| Check this video out. Quite amazing. Show me five girls on one flute covering Spinal Tap's "Lick My Love Pump" and I'll be impressed ;-]Actually, both videos linked here are great fun. Thanks. | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 Since Richard went for one song, I'll go for 70...I just picked up World Party's new 5 CD set "Arkeology".At a glance, this looks like a straight up money grab..5 CDs of previously unreleased material from the vault and...yikes..a calendar. Howeve... | |
| Deep, musical, in-wall subwoofer You might tryhttp://rythmikaudio.com/products2.htmlGreat products, helpful people.Marty | |
| Anyone tried out Vincent Audio Intergrated? Since you're using a subwoofer in your system (per your system link), you might consider the HK 990 integrated amp at $1500-$2000, new on-line. It's unique AFAIK in that it combines a terrific 150WPC Matt Otala (Citation, Electrocompaniet) designe... | |
| Melody Gardot "The Absence" The bossa nova-ish feel on the new CD didn't really move me, but I always find myself a little conflicted with MG's stuff. For me, she always gets really close, but never quite nails it. This feels like it might be another example of that phenomen... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? If you're looking for "rock concert impact" (ala the Dave Matthews show you cite in the OP) without (near) rock concert SPL, I think you're sunk. That impact is largely a function of the very high SPL.IMO | |
| Ideas on speaker like Magnepan but with high WAF Planars tend to sound like planars (and non-planars IME do not) so the EmTechs, Logans and and Apogees already recommended probably hit the "sound like Maggie" part of your request best, but also might miss on the WAF. However, if small planars ap... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Even though I have certain reservations about the speakers.......the closest thing to a live rock performance that I've ever heard on a hi-fi system was a demo of a live blues rock recording at the Strereophile LA show 5 or 6 years ago. The speake... | |
| REL G-2 or JL Audio F-112 I don't know the G-2, but REL and JL are usually about as diametrically opposed as designs can be. A quick look at test results reveals that the RELs are woofers with extended bass and the JLs are true subwoofers designed for clean output in the b... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Don,Good call. I've long been a Be-Bop DeLuxe fan, but never really thought much about the lyrics. I like Bill Nelson's songs and his guitar, but I've got to admit that that's a nice bit of wordsmithing you've identified.If interesting rhyme schem... | |
| Diana Krall Survey First off, thanks all for your comments.I saw my friend Mike (from Verve Records) yesterday and passed on the gist of the (useful) commentary, which seemed to be - "keep it simple, lose the strings". I didn't offer up the "She's a hack" side of th... | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? A few more good ones, following up on some of the suggestions above:Doc and Merle Watson - Sitin' Here Pickin' The Blues. It's a compilation that includes Chazzro's suggestion plus additional material. Just great, great stuff, recorded nicely.John... | |
| Are two smaller subs better than one larger? Three notes/Three caveats:Caveat #1: Your budget is sufficient to buy 2 very high quality "small" subs - call that +/- $1500.Note #1: A single large sub will usually provide great maximum output for a given distortion level than will two smaller s... |
