Free air resonance?
Trelja wrote:> But, again, you raise a caveat.That was my intent. I'm unfamiliar with your level of expertise - which is whyI stated it was not an "amateur's mod".If you are a seasoned "speaker-mod" expert - then be my guest.Dr. Gregory Greenma... 
Free air resonance?
In the original design of the speaker, avoiding resonances isdesired for the reasons Sean, Greg, and Joe... have stated.However, Tkwolek has a point here.If you are going to replace drivers with drivers of a differentdesign - then you effectively ... 
Center Channel for Martin Logan Aerius
Paulrichard,A center that will blend with the speed, timber, and uniquecharacteristics of a Martin Logan - will only be anotherMartin Logan.The Cinema is the least expensive center that will blend withthe Aerius. [ The Logos and Theater are more e... 
HELP - How Hard is to Blow a Bass Driver
Dr balance,The fact that you heard distortion with deep bass only is whatyou would expect if the amps were driven into clipping.It takes a lot of power to do the deep bass notes - so theyare the most taxing for the amplifiers.The distortion - whic... 
HELP - How Hard is to Blow a Bass Driver
Dr. balance,With a 70 watt amp - it's more likely that the upper frequencydrivers could be damaged if they overdrove the Exposure 18into "clipping".If the amp is driven into overload, and can't supply enoughvoltage so that the peak voltage equals ... 
Krell FPB from C to CX
Inpieces,From what I've heard and read, the "c" series has the oldtraditional "Krell sound" which is the tendency to be veryanalytical.The newer "cx" series are said to be more "musical" and"sweeter" than the "c" series - both with CAST input andX... 
Krell Reliability?
I have to second Jond's post above.I have not heard of any problems with Krell equipment.As Jond states, there are lots of folks that don't likeKrell; but when one has been receiving high acclaim andthe products are rather expensive - then that ki... 
Connect my amp out of phase?
For abb@cs.comThe design of many amplifier stages result in inverting thepolarity. Your common everyday "op-amp" is most likely inverting.A preamp may have several stages - and if it has an odd number of inverting phases - then the preamp as a who... 
Martin Logan Aerius problem
Mlogan,The red LED lights up when the circutry detects an input signal. It sounds like you've got a bad connection or ablown component somewhere.The red LED should light up and stay lit if the speaker isreceiving a signal of sufficient level.Dr. G... 
Watt/Puppy 5.1 Upgrades?
Lpan2000,See the review of the Watt/Puppy 6 by Marc Mickelson inthe Dec 2000 Home Audio Equipment Review:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_watt_puppy6.htmThe cabinets of the Series 6 are somewhat larger than thatof the 5.1 and lower series... 
Bryston Vs Classe
Rgd,Although I would have hoped that was the interpretation,many have said that "Classe is rated Class A", and "Brystonis rated Class B".Stereophile has never rated a manufacturer - only individualproducts. Also, I don't recall many Classe product... 
Bryston Vs Classe
I wish people would learn what the terms "Class A", "Class AB"and "Class B" mean.These are terms for certain circuit topologies - i.e. modes of amplifier operation - not a "grade" of quality.One can have an amp that operates in Class A that is of ... 
What does mono "bridged"
Newbee,I think you should have stated that the bridging of the ampis done by a switch on the amp - and is part of the designof the amp.The paucity of your original explanation may have led someonethat is not particularily versed in amps and electr... 
Standby Mode in Krell FPB power amps
A_hayman,When the back panel circuit breaker is turned on, the powersupply and the input circuitry are energized. The amplificationstages are not powered.When you push the front panel power button, the bias circuitryis fired up [ lower left LED in... 
Krell FPB 300cx enough to drive B&W Nautilus 801?
Krell's literature and web page state that the FPB-300cx, FPB-400cx, and FPB-700cx share the SAMEcircuit topology.It's basically a question of how much power does the power supply have to put into the same circuitry andhow many output devices shar...
