| BEST SUB FOR HT:MUSIC 50-50 with CM9/CMC2/CM5 That room will probably be very, very tough for deep bass; smallish and square. Whichever sub you choose, you might want to think about digital room EQ (included with the Velodyne DD series).Good LuckMarty | |
| Subwoofers location Slightly (okay, more than slightly) OT:Yesterday I set up my phono rig for the first time in the new system. This comprises 2 'tables; a Rega/Rega/Acoustic Solid and a Graham/Graham (or Lyra/Graham on a second wand)/Oracle, both routed via an Aeth... | |
| Subwoofers location If you're using the bass management in the Integra 80.1, I doubt that you'll hear a ton of difference between sub positions - unless you happen to pick a really, really bad one. I've had my pair of (Rythmik) subs in five different spots - includin... | |
| artist touring entire old albums I'd be first on line for "Something/Anything" and "Kiko". I'd also love to see Tweedy, Ferrar and the boys re-up for "No Depression", World Party do "Goodbye Jumbo", The Reivers do "End of the Day", and The New Radicals regroup for "Brainwashed". ... | |
| What is the crossover point ? Different formula:When Cost of System>Cost of Car, a line has been crossed. When Cost of System approaches/exceeds Cost of House, intervention is required. | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. One more idea for a digital-centric system:HK 990 Integrated Amp (with full digital bass management): $1600 (new, available on e-bay)Magnepan MMG Planar Speakers $ 600 (new, direct from Maggie)The remaining $800 goes to a subwoofer and source as y... | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match I own PL 6 mono amps. I'd suggest that you talk thru the 6 vs 7 option with Kevin. At an audition of the two options at Upscale, he capably demonstrated that they are voiced a bit differently from each other. Your preferred speaker may then impact... | |
| Should i changes my sub to Fathom f112 or f113 I'd also suggest replacing the AVR before addressing the subs. You'll almost certainly end up with some sort of digital bass management (Audyssey or similar) that will DRAMATICALLY impact the performance of the subwoofers. This may also make the V... | |
| Anthem AVM/20 upgrade to Integra or Marantz?? I just got an Onkyo 5508 (AKA the nearly identical cousin of the Integra 80.1) to replace an ARC LS25 + NHT X-2 + Velodyne SMS-1 + Cambridge DacMagic in a music only 2.2 system. One box vs 4 and very, very good sound thru Maggie SMG or Ohm 100s wi... | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" Larry,Don't be so sure about blind tasting. I attended blind wine tastings every Tuesday night (+/- 30 per year) for about three years with industry professionals (excluding myself, just an enthusiast who was friendly with the owner of the restaur... | |
| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" Edorr,I've measured my room with Studio Wizard EQ (a room Wizard variant) and saw consistent results between the SMS-1 readout and the SWEQ analysis, so this sounds like it might be room specific. However, I will say that the XT32 full range EQ on... | |
| Tact 2.2XP for room correction "proof of concept" I don't have an answer for you, but I can suggest an alternative approach to answering your question:Try to get hold of a Velodyne SMS-1. They're less than $400 new. This will provide "subwoofer only" room EQ and give you a good sense - tho not a ... | |
| Cary 805 C or 805 AE? I would note that some speakers (like my Parsifal Encores) do change character when the 845s are pulled for 211s. The ability to preview with both 845 and 211 and stick with the better match for the speaker that you are using at that time (and tha... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Slightly OTIn my main system, I cycle my speakers from time to time. Ohm 100s to MMGs and back with a pair of Rythmik subs on bottom. The Ohms just rotated back into service (after +/- 4 months of MMG service) and reminded me just how good they ar... | |
| U.S. Symphony Orchestras The biggest problem that I see is a public hostile to supporting the arts. The NEA is under constant attack fro the right and that source of funding has now shrunk to (last I looked) app 5% of their budgets. Since ticket sales won't do (insufficie... |
