| Speaker size and bass Volume isn't merely a consideration, with bass it is everything. Look up Fletcher-Munson equal loudness contours. This is a graph of the way we hear the different frequencies. Low bass frequencies are all bunched together. What this means in pract... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Yes, for just $750,000- you can own one of these new models.What do you mean? The left one or the right one?(Eighty feet is correct, now that manufacturer's are moving to the Kenjit Society standards for speaker cabinet construction.) | |
| Cables: Okay, I'm a believer. I was extremely doubtful, beyond skeptical in the beginning, but that was 30 years ago. Even way back then the difference was night and day, and the quality has gotten so much better over those 30 years I find it hard to see how anyone still can d... | |
| Two Turntables? Why chicks dig turntables......multiple.:-)i've had as many as 5 at onceDang. You win again. I've never had the stamina for more than three, even with Viagra. | |
| Replacing everything - Speaker Recommendation Request - Under $3,000. With music.... What you want is called a wave guide. You just need to find one that can guide the wave around your monitor. | |
| Advice/Warnings for a newbie One 20A line is not overkill, and may help. The reason I say "may" is its hard to know how the house and panel is wired. Often times systems are plugged into ordinary wall outlets, which because houses are wired for average use and to save money t... | |
| How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? This was May 2004. https://www.theanalogdept.com/c_miller.htmThis was earlier this year. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367Check back in a month or so, should be some Moabs in there.Check back end of year, look for a Raven Osprey. After tha... | |
| How Does a "HI-LEVEL IN" Affect Impedance Load? There is no such thing as stereo sub bass. This is a hard one to understand but I will try and explain. Again. Really low bass frequencies are experienced very differently than higher frequencies. We cannot for example even hear a very low bass to... | |
| Advice/Warnings for a newbie Thanks mrdecibel he did misunderstand and yes everything matters. The problem in situations like this where the OP doesn't know and if I was there and could see and hear it would be easy but going by partial info its impossible. So my default is r... | |
| Question for amp experts Technically? No. Take your imaginary great sounding amp. Now imagine that amp inside a speaker. No way it will sound as good as outside away from all that speaker vibration. The speaker also will sound better with its crossover further from the po... | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? A Z3 and would drive me to drink too. | |
| matching receiver and speaker question Just so you know, speaker watt ratings are meaningless. The spec that matters, the one that really tells you how much power you need, is sensitivity. Boston VR-20 are 93 dB. Anything 90 and up is excellent, as it means your 35 watt amp will run th... | |
| Cleaning power with tweaks. Receiver. Not power. Receiver. | |
| How Does a "HI-LEVEL IN" Affect Impedance Load? Right. No effect. This paper explains exactly what is going on. If you can find the circuit diagram for your sub you will find this same circuit inside the sub. The values of the resistors may be different to accommodate a wider range of amplifier... | |
| Watt War I am a veteran. As always the soldiers are recruited from the young. I was in my teens when Bose attacked our high school with a multi-hundred watt salvo. Then came the Phase Linear. 200 massive watts!At one point I myself was taken prisoner, plac... |
