Dual vs single sub
Audiokinesis, If you create a linear array very little energy disperses off the top and bottom or in this case to the side walls minimizing that interaction. Because the woofers are up against the front wall there is only the primary wave and no s... 
Best Bass Amp!
ptheo, the QSC amp fans can be easily disabled. In your use they will hardly break a sweat. You can always use one in Stereo. In my experience AB amps produce firmer bass than D amps. D amps are used almost exclusively in plate amplifiers because ...

QSC PLX 3602. Blast a hole through the ozone. Screw hearing. It's feeling that counts. 
Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono'
tobes, at my age you have to piss all the time. woodrum, that definition of troll adequately fits audiophiles in general as it seems there is as much mythology as there is reality in the practice. Trolls are most dangerous when they are trying to ... 
Dual vs single sub
I think Noble is on the right path here. Look at the difference between the radiation patterns of point source and linear arrays. The trick is in creating a linear array woofer. If two drivers are closer than 1/2 the wavelength of the highest freq... 
My experience after lost of 20k$
Since I set up my Mac Mini/Alpha USB I have ripped thousands of CDs to the hard drive saving huge amounts of space. Then I took all the CDs and traded them in at Bullmoose Music for a bunch of new vinyl. Truly the best of both worlds.  
is there an app for mac that plays any music file type?
For it is worth I use Channel D's Pure Music on a Mac Mini. You have to buy a license but it a one time purchase and updates are included. It will play just about anything and it does a lot of neat stuff like upsampling.It is not perfect. Once eve... 
Benchmark AHB2 - To 'mono' or not to 'mono'
Whoops, my error. Got my bridged and parallel modes mixed up. Right voltage doubles, damping halves. Troll, as in trolling for business? I hope not. The audio business sucks.Better off selling automobiles. Whatever AHB2s bridged acquitted themselv... 
Constrained layer damping tape on toroidal transformer?
I think someone should jump start Dynaco. You all would have a blast building kit amplifiers! Could be a money maker:-)

I love this amp! Absolutely, definitely, without any doubt what so ever get another one!Not sure what planet we are living on but when you mono strap this amp you drop the impedance of the output stage and increase the damping factor! Not only tha...

What screen for high ambient light room?
We Already have a black out blind in the most offending window but there is spillage around it. I suspect there are better. A laser projector will fix the lumin problem. The ones I have looked at are all 3000 lumins. I think the drape would push m... 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
I'll echo a few other posts. I have been using electrostatic speakers since 1978. Tube amps just do not cut it with this type of speaker even if you cross over to a woofer or subwoofer. The impedance drops with increasing frequency and they are es...

Thanxforresponding!Distance is 18 feet. What ever normal is. I am an encyclopedia of Hi Fi information and the reciprocal when it comes to video.   
Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus
Montaldo. Fill up a little glass jar with 3/4 91% Isopropyl alcohol, 1/4 distilled water. Get a small soft artist's brush, dip it in your solution and brush the stylus and cantilever clean. Go no further than 1/2 way up the cantilever. You can bru...
