| Is this Placebo or something real? Photon46 - I guess the biggest part of my question is if I assume that the Sort Kones made an improvement, could the addition of three toe corn pads eliminate the benefit? It seems that if the concept of the sort kones is to remove micro vibration... | |
| Is this Placebo or something real? I really don't plan to stop analyzing things like this simply because I'm an engineer and actually enjoy trying to figure stuff out. The world is full of people that don't care to know why and just bumble through life. I realize that I have partak... | |
| DTS HD via Multi Analog vs DTS via Bistream There's something special about blu-ray lossless audio. I find myself ignoring movies at times just listening to the soundtracks. I'm only running a 4.1 setup with sub-par rear channels so if you have a more all around setup it can only get better. | |
| Subwoofer with good monitors Have you actually done a tone check to verify the response from your speakers? You'll be the most happy with a large driver subwoofer that can really go low, at least in my opinion. I used a ML Dynamo 700 subwoofer for home theater, but generally ... | |
| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. I visited my local Focal dealer last Friday and asked the owner about doing this. It was obvious that he didn't like the idea, but said that he has done it for customers where it was the only option for the requested installation.You can probably ... | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Tiggerfc - You just have not found the right person. I have a friend that proclaimed many things as a single guy and then it happened, he met the right girl. I've never met a single guy that was over 40 that I really wanted to be. You get to a poi... | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? My wife wanted me to get whatever I wanted just so I'd shut up about wanting new speakers. At first she hated the look of the Focal Chorus V series speakers, but once she saw them in black she was ok with the look. For some reason the V shape of t... | |
| DTS HD via Multi Analog vs DTS via Bistream The idea situation is to have a reciever that will decode the DTS HD and Dolby True HD formats with the signal being transferred via HDMI.The next best option is to have the blu-ray player decode the signal and sent it via 6 plus RCA cables to the... | |
| how does current work in an amplifier? The KISS answer to your second question is YES. An amplifier rated for a continuous 4 ohm load should handle 4 ohm nominal speakers better than an amplifier that is only rated for a continuous 6 ohm load. You're probably safe to make comparisons w... | |
| how does current work in an amplifier? A formula that might help is the following:Current in Amps SQUARED = Power in Watts DIVIDED by Resistance in OhmsFor comaprison:100 watts into an 8 ohm speaker requires 3.54 Amps100 watts into a 4 ohm speaker requires 5.00 AmpsNot sure if this hel... | |
| A surprise CD gem Thanks! | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. True enough, but I fairly confident that I'm enough of a skeptic to avoid the majority of placebo effects. I wasn't really expecting to be impressed having heard them previously in the store. I figured I could always take them back. I do think tha... | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. Mrtennis - According to Nordost, "Sort" is Danish for black and the concept is that the kones remove low level white noice from the audio signal. Ironically, that's almost the excact feeling I get during the times that I am convinced that I'm hear... | |
| Brought a new Tweak home today to try out. I wonder if the concept of placement has as much to do with the improvement as the actual physical design does. Don't the Pulsar points just replace the exisiting equipment feet? | |
| Using 2 of Centers as Bookshelf Speakers. The Focal CC 800v isn't ported like the bookshelf speakers in the Chorus series are, but having two 6-1/2 inch drivers should provide plenty of bass. |
