| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Tim,I think you are failing to see the forest through the trees because you are so focused on obtaining the smoothest in room response for the maximum number of listening positions (what a distributed array accomplishes). In doing so, you are mis... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. I am still concerned about him having enough output even with the addition of two PB1000s. The PB1000s run out of steam at about 100db in the 20-30hz range. Even if you combine them with the SB1000s, depending on how loud the JBL's are turned up... | |
| Budget floorstanders - Sonus Faber vs. Revel vs. Focal For me it would be the Revel F36. I owned a set last year while my Magnepan 3.5's were being rebuilt. My room is a similar size (21 x 19 with a cathedral ceiling that tops out at 18 feet and open to other rooms). I found the F36 to be transpare... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design Re: "Heco, The New Statement, bass response (according to their website) can go down to 18 Hz with 93db sensitivity. I think it may work well with low power 300B amp."Talk about playing fast and loose with the specs. They rate the speakers as "4-8... | |
| Pricing Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-VI speakers Well, now we need to know. How much did you get? | |
| Pricing Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-VI speakers The VI weigh over 500 pounds each. They really were great speakers. The difficulty with them now is the drivers were custom and I believe there are no perfect replacements. | |
| Used Pre under $8K with lowest nosie floor(?) What do you define as low? If you are using single ended connections (RCA) the best SN ratio you can achieve with a standard 2v output is 100db. True (4v) brings that to 125db. 20v professional balanced can push it to 135db. Your SN ratio is o... | |
| Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer) A few comments:1) Power- For these speakers, at a 12 foot listening distance, 10 watts gives 99 db, 25 watts 103 db, 100 watts 109 db, and 200 watts 112 db. The OP said he mostly listens at lower levels, where 10 watts would be more than suffic... | |
| Thoughts wanted for new speaker design My two cents, keeping in mind I am not shopping:1) The 2 way with a compression driver seems like a good way to diversify your line and offers a choice for lower power tube lovers. 2) $2,000 standmount. It is probably just me, but it seems lik... | |
| Help selecting a new preamp Maybe ask Bob Carver, but my guess is he will tell you to find a Sunfire Stereo Pre, which is just about impossible now. I will jump on the Schiit Freya wagon. I am using the Freya S now to replace my longtime Adcom GFP-750, which was considered b... | |
| How would you upgrade my entry level system? My thoughts:1) System setup. Have you spent time dialing in the speaker and listening position?2) Room Treatments- Without knowing anything about your room it is hard to suggest, but often they can make an tremendous difference. With GIK you can g... | |
| Pricing Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-VI speakers I believe $3-4 a pound is going rate for large Dunlavy speakers. In all seriousness, the pricing is probably going to be more determined by if the drivers have been replaced and the distance from you for any purchaser. Realistically, the cost of... | |
| Suggestions for getting a commission to custom build tube amps Well the OP did say his inspiration for the look was Jules Verne, so I would say it follows that inspiration. I am sure if he were commissioned to build a pair, he could do more traditional cases if the buyer wanted. I have never marketed any prod... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. I am going to join in the camp that says look at your placement and room setup before you replace your subs. That said, it is entirely likely that your subs are running out of output relative to your main speakers, which are capable of large dynam... | |
| Can I use 2 two channel amps to run a 3 channel system? leaving one side of an amp unused The simple solution would be to bridge the amp and reduce the center channel level 3-6db. Unfortunately that amp cannot be bridged. I would contact Bel Canto and ask if there is any issue just using one channel and if you should use a dummy loa... |
