| Dual vs single sub For all you people planning subs on a limited budget just buy the first one and add another when you can. For point source speakers 2 subs will get you 90% there. For you panel jockeys, Magnapans and electrostats you are going to have to shoot for... | |
| Hartley speakers--anyone heard/heard of? I worked with Sound Components in Miami back in the late 70s with Peter McGrath who I think now works for Wilson. This was the hey day of the Levinson HQD system that has been previously mentioned along with John Curl designed electronics. #6 25 w... | |
| I need your suggestion for a Preamp. For what it is worth, you have a Levinson system. I would just stick with Levinson. You are not going to get audibly better performance unless you jump to something like the Trinnov Amethyst which would increase the adjustability of your system 2 ... | |
| Amp or speaker issue? Walstib, is the crackle volume dependent? How much volume does it take to get the crackle started? Erik is right. Most likely it is the woofers failing. The surrounds and spiders fail and in some instances the voice coil lacquer deteriorates and t... | |
| Dual vs single sub Oh, by the way Duke, I am not trying to sell anything. | |
| Dual vs single sub Audiokinesis, It always helps to know what ideal is to make the best compromise in any given situation. 4 subs at 4 foot intervals with the outer two in corners does not approximate a linear array. It is most definitely a linear array up to 125 Hz... | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? This is a very complicated problem. Forgetting the variability of speakers and subs there is a best way to do this but the market has not responded yet by providing the equipment options required to do this correctly. What is needed is a free stan... | |
| 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 ... | |
| Best Bass Amp! 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... |
