| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? One of Thiel’s better speakers. A lot of thought and care went into that crossover to make those particular drivers work very well together. Change one of them, even if it is more "advanced" and it will probably turn into a Sh!t show. | |
| Bose 301 modifications Best thing to do with 301’s without changing out drivers is to power them with a receiver with a loudness function (turned on) and a bit of bass and treble boost....they’re at least listenable . This is for 301-II’s I took mine apart because they... | |
| Small Floorstander? ProAc have some manageable sized floorstanders that should give you plenty of bass in that room | |
| Black Ash..... The only positive I can see for black ash is that scratches are easily touched up with a black sharpie. Other than that little tidbit, no thanks...its horrid ! | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I have a fake pair of Cardas Cross speaker cables, 8 ft with bananas. Put a max bid in on eBay for $75 and won them for 65 bucks U.S. Pretty convincing looking though...the shrink is correct and even the outside diameter is within .001 inche... | |
| Totem Hawk Tweeter problem Check your jumpers ..if you haven't already | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? THAT ^^A loudspeaker is not a musical instrument. | |
| If your system were a car! Probably a Vauxhall Astra GTC VXR. British. Good performance for not a lot of money. | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? If you can find a used pair of ProAc Response 2.5 they may fit the bill. | |
| PSB Stratus Gold v GoldI real differences? Stereophile reviewed the original Gold in 1991 and the Goldi in1997. The new version seems to have less of a bump around 70 hz and a smoother flatter response from 6khz to 15khz, read both reviews here, http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Pretty much anything from KMFDM. Artist is Aidan Hughes | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Queen's "News Of The World" cover has a cool story behind it Queen commissioned artist Frank Kelly Freas who drew the October 1953 cover of "Astounding Science Fiction" to rework the image painting the dead band members in the robots hand. I cre... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? I have 7 inch 2 way towers that dig down plenty deep below 30 hz. However It’s in the volume that where they will never match a 10 inch woofer or multiple woofer system. Big woofer doesn’t equal deep, Big woofer equals loud + deep....but that’s ... | |
| How long do high quality speakers "last" Wondering if the OP will see this and chime in on the condition of his Response 2's now that they are roughly 22 years old. | |
| Should I replace my driver? 150 seems a pretty decent price compared to some other companies. I’d by 2 and change both, and then you have one good spare.... if you plan to keep them a long time. |
