| Wilson Benesch ARC vs. other Scanspeak revelators Durbin, Tyler uses both the Seas Millenium and the Scanspeak Revelator in different speakers. Most of his better speakers use the Seas Millenium. | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Gammajo, Thank you for your recommendations. Since you bring up Volados, I would most highly recommend to you his Schubert solo piano works on Sony. This is not only outstanding playing, an excellent recording, but who would ever have guessed that... | |
| tall speaker in small room??? FWIW, I'm running the 1 piece Linbrook Systems full range speaker in a room 13x19x9 and its more than enuf for my room. It also produces a large and deep image at much lower volume than my other dynamic speakers. With a room of your dimensions, be... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling I agree with TWL, except I'm never at a loss for words. I think this thread is a vintage argument for the old saying what ever works for you must work. There are just so many theories regarding vibration control it's tough for folks like Gammajo a... | |
| Sonic frontiers sfs 80 or 160 Franczyk makes an interesting point with some merit. I've never matched my SFS or SFM amps up to a Quest Z. However most tube amps do have a higher output impedence than a tube amp and its not unusual to find them going as high as 3.5 for the SFS8... | |
| is interconnect more important than speaker cable Eldartford, I grew up in Massachusetts. I agree with you, there are many reasons for moving to Arizona besides the weather! :-) | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Tom, If you want to couple speakers as massive as these to the floor why would you need to do anything except let the wood bottom rest unobstructed to the wood floor? That would certainly allow all of the vibrations to pass directly to the floor. ... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling With your speakers I'm afraid the mass would compress the felt so much that it would just become another mudium for transmission of vibrations. Cork could work and those dense rubber mats sold at Home Depot combined with some felt so you can push ... | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling Personally I would not advise spikes. Why would you want to couple these speakers to a wood floor. In fact, with the mass of these speakers they are already more than adequately coupled. In my view you should want to isolate them from the floor, i... | |
| HELP requested for system setup analogue source With that junk its no wonder the sounds sucks! JUST KIDDING!!!!!If you want some decent answers why don't you describe the room including all dimensions, furnishings, openings (incl glass windows, and present location of speakers and listening pos... | |
| equipment rack along the back wall-Bad? Shouldn't really have much effect on the sound, however I would stand where the racks are during loud music with substantive bass and see if the bass waves are setting up a lot of vibes in your equipment, phono especially. Both the front and rear ... | |
| Smetana Ma Vlast I don't know what your taste run to or what you've heard, but here are a few that come to mind....From the romantic period: Fibich, Novak, and a BIG one, Franz Liszt. From the modern period Martinu and Rozsa. That, and the few I mentioned before w... | |
| Smetana Ma Vlast Reprince, You're right of course, I just got carried away...I just love Eastern European music. So much life in it, unlike the more somber stuff from Germany. Just think of the Czech's I didn't include.........:-) | |
| Smetana Ma Vlast Avguygeorge, Not to hi-jack a Smetana thread, but as you brought it up......Dvorak's other symphonies are not chopped liver! I enjoy and recommend the entire nine symphonies, but especially 3, 5, 6, 8 and of course 9. The violin concerto, and his ... | |
| Smetana Ma Vlast Well, I would agree that Kubelik's live record on Supraphon is very special indeed, as they were celebrating an occasion, his return to his native land after a forced exile of over 40 years. However, from a recording quality I find it somewhat fla... |
