| Should I add a Preamp to my system You are always better off with an analog volume control. You should always try to run your digital sections full tilt for maximum definition. Digital volume controls lose definition as you drop volume. Analog controls do not. I am not sure what th... | |
| Hooking a Phono Preamp up to a Preamp You can run it into any high level input like tape or aux. | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Simple noromance, The plastic is almost the same mechanical impedance as air. What you are really listening to is the electricity!Speakers that are a bit brighter with heavier bass sound better at low volumes. Consequently the same thing holds for... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Mola Mola? That is some name for an electronics manufacturer. The problem with class D amplification is that there is a very broad range of quality. It can be a very cheap way to build an amplifier of mediocre quality with a high school electronic... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs I love 20.7s. Great speaker. They do bass better than most dipoles but still suffer a bit below 40 Hz. The cross overs are at about 450 and 3500 Hz and they are usually pretty slow. 12 db/oct. Putting subwoofers in will clean them up a bit and inc... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Well if it is electrostats you want then go with the Sanders Model 10,The panels cross to the transmission line sub at 175 Hz which will allow them to operated 2 feet from the front wall. You will need to put acoustic foam behind them. No big deal... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! jaferd I am most definitely with you. A good system should do everything right and play all music correctly. Unfortunately to get it all right requires a fair expenditure beyond what most of us can afford so we have to make compromises. This is wh... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Alex, I did not know he used those. They are a 15" (I think) coaxial driver with horn in the center. Altec called it a duplex driver. It was mounted in a simple ported enclosure. It would be about the right size for a studio monitor. Probably ver... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! No idea bdp24. But I think you missed the point. I was actually measuring what the subs were doing and had total control over the target curve sent to the woofers. There is no possible way yet anyway to maintain flat frequency response in a dipole... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Even methodical scientists have their pet theories which sometimes over run their thought processes. They were more like Linkwitz's W. I was using speaker (room) control from the start and a lot of power. The response of the subwoofer's was measur... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Correct. It all had to done at the same time. Tower of Power Direct is an amazing disc. Lee Ritenour also had some great direct to disc albums on JVC records. Lee also has a new album available in high def on HD Tracks which is killer. It sits you... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Klipsch Heresys with a tube amp like the Atma-Sphere M60 would be perfect. A smaller Pass amp like the XA 60.8 would also do.You can put the Heresys right up against a wall. You can also put them up on stands at ear level. Subwoofers in a small sq... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Oh as for plump subwoofers, I think most subwoofers sound "plump." This is probably due to cabinet resonance which is one problem dipole subs should not have. My current system sounds anything but plump dipoles and all. So I guess you have to watc... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! bdp24, Siegfried was quite the character and I quite agree with him on the subject of dipole speakers however he took it a bit too far with the subwoofers. I have not bought a subwoofer since 1987-88. I make my own as commercial subwoofers have to... | |
| What are the advantages to a Class A amp & what are the trade offs? People never complain of heat with tube amps only with SS class A amps. Yes, unless you get some trick Boulder or Krell design, class A amps run hot. The biggest problem with this is durability. Nothing benefits from recurrent heat cycling. A well... |
