| Floorstand speaker sounds "Boomy" A small square room will have standing waves so there will be locations where the bass reinforces itself and sound boomy, places where the bass will cancel itself. Plus your speakers may contribute by not being flat in the low frequencies. The bes... | |
| Hear ye! Thou who knowist thy speakers.. ...either electrostatic (the best, but more reliability problems) or magnetic (i.e. Magneplanars, Alternate Audio, etc). I don't know how you are going to work around the dealer problem, maybe find the closest one (S.F or Montery area?) that has t... | |
| Amps & Maggies...what is your take? I live in an apartment and can't play my older maggies (mgIIb's) loud. I have an electronic cross over and subwoofer, so my maggies go from 80hz on up. I use a class A amp (60w a channel) because I like its clean midrange and treble. | |
| Best Used Dynaco Stereo 70 amp. For 20 years they sold for around $100 and were more lisenable that the 1,000's of amps, intergrateds and receivers that have come and gone. | |

| Take the audiophile quiz! Not bad. One of the few pieces of audiophile humor I have ever read. Try submitting a sample of you work to Lisener magazine. This hobby could use someone who will help us laugh at ourselves. | |
| bass reproduction The post concerning bass in a small room are confusing if not inaccurate. Remember, a car interior (which one could consider a very small room) boost bass response. The bass response is influenced by room dimemsions, standing waves (which can add ... | |
| XLR (Balance) Cable I made some about 10+ years ago. The basic cable configuration is 2 conductors plus sheild, plus conductor to pin 2, minus conductor to pin 3, shield to pin 1 (this is the "standard" but can vary with different manufactors). For non critical use s... | |
| TO upgrade or NOT, that is the question! I would first upgrade the interconnects. HCM audio has a lot of cables on their closeout list or you can make your own using pure silver wire. I purchased an Audio Magic digital cable from HCM, sounded good for a budget cable, I think their audio ... | |
| SAE X25 Class A Amplifier Circuit Hi. It has been awhile so I hope this gets to you. Just did this whole response offline and lost it trying to post to this site so I am not going to worry too much about errors. You raise some interesting points: 1) Crossover distortion was identi... | |
