| Mapleshade tweaks RCCC Can you show us an example of a thread here on Audiogon that does not contain an opinion by someone ? I will further state that a debate with you is not of interest to me, for I am on the same side of the fence as the friend you speak of. Why... | |
| Mapleshade tweaks Pierre and Mapleshade recommends connecting powered subs using the speaker inputs instead of the rca inputs because of many hours of listening/testing. Their claims of greater coherency and blend with the main speakers seem correct. My ears concur... | |
| Woof Woof need a little help Many powered subs have low level and hi level inputs/outputs. These are rca and speaker connections. If the Yamaha amp does not have a pre amp out, look for a sub that has speaker connections and connect speaker wire from Yamaha amp to sub in this... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Weseixas, I believe it was you who said this was not a horn thread. If you read the original post by Renmeister, and I recommend you read it slowly or have some one read it to you, he is talking about 1 problem only. That was the integration or "c... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Unsound, you leave me no choice. If you are still using 3.5s and you feel "they" offer anywhere near the same dynamics as horns (I am extremely familiar with the 3.5s) . I recommend the biggest tweek to you. Qtips........I do hope you "enjoy" your... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Inna, I worked with the Jadis importer during the mid 90s and was at the '96 Stereophile show at the NYC Waldorf as the "demo" guy for 3 days. They were very complicated to set up, as the outboard crossover took a while to adjust and tweek. The Ja... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Unsound, I was waiting for you to come on over with your bashing. I can handle it now..... looks like Weseixas has company. What a shame...... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Dan ed, well said in 1 paragraph. Strengths and weaknesses equals compromise. It is important to understand what each one of us wants from a system. Equipment reviews and forum opinions/experiences are great, but it takes years, IME, for trial and... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Atmasphere, thank you......And yes, set up, gear and care upstream is vital......... | |
| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII Weseixas. Stock Lascala (original) cabinets have major resonance and vibrational problems, which destroy any potential for enjoying them, especially at near field......more info on this can be found on AA and the Klipsch site. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Planars and electrostatics are "coherent" in the mid range, which creates magic. They are also great with stage holography, if set up correctly. However, there comes a point with the volume control that they loose this magic by congesting, as most... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Roy Hargrove's "Habana" | |
| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII Br3098. You are not alone. I responded to another recent post by Renmeister. As far as Johnk is concerned, I take nothing away from his experiences, opinions and technical back ground. I take nothing away from anyone who does not like Lascalas, or... | |
| Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy? The mods I have made to my Lascalas are those to elimimate horn/box vibration and resonance. I find the stock crossover and drivers to be excellent. I made 50 lb bases/risers for them. I own them for a very long time and am extremely pleased. They... | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? Viridian, I understand everything and appreciate it. I do use a pair of subs. Everything is a compromise somehow. I believe it was Bill Lowe of Audioquest who said it first ; "To do less harm". It is wonderful to have such a vast amount of equipme... |
