Running Two REL Subs off One Amp - Possible?
Listen to Gandme. 
Vandersteen Quatro vs. GMA Calypso
I pose this question because both speakers are quite new to the marketplace and both retail in the same price range (well, the wood version of the Quatro's vs. the Calypso).In theory, the powered integrated subs (with room response adjustment feat... 
What don't you like about these speakers?
I didn't know about Sound Environment. Thanks. I bought my first set of speakers at Custom Electronics (Boston Acoustics A60s Series II) back in the late '80's. I loved those things hooked up to my Onkyo receiver. Receiver is still in use. The spe... 
What don't you like about these speakers?
Entrope...Where do you shop for gear in Omaha? I'm always looking to audition while I'm back visiting. Also, other than the shops in the Old Market, any suggestions for software (vinyl)? 
Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?
This is why I've not bought into the WallyTractor as an alignment progress. While I have not used it, it appears to be excellent at describing the solution, but not very good at defining the process to arrive at that solution - you're still doing ... 
Is Wally tool preffered for Graham 2.2?
I got tired of trying to figure out which protractor was best and decided to make my own using Microsoft Visio and John Elison's downloadable Excel spreadsheet for calculating horizontal tracking error and distortion.I created a printable triangle... 
Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range
Although I've never heard them, you may want to ask about the Green Mountain Audio Callisto. They may be exactly what you're looking for.

Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
Time to intereject some controversy...Shouldn't a speaker be able to reproduce all types of music equally well? 
Suggestions for a budget amp
That's what I love about this site...Everyone's eager to spend someone else's money without much consideration to the bigger picture. Hey, DK89, do you really trust that type of advice?If the money is burning a hole in your pocket, I'd recommend a... 
The Smiths. The Stone Roses. James.
This thread makes me feel like home...if any of you want to spin some tunes, count me in.When I got my first turntable, one of my first quests was to obtain all Guadalcanal Diary releases on vinyl. Then the Trip Shakespeare catalog. For the Smiths... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Let's assume that each "element" (speaker, driver, whatever) actually behaves like an 8 Ohm resister. Let's also assume that we're going to use 16 elements (instead of 14). It makes the math easier.We need to recognize that resisters in series are... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Mounting both drivers on a planar surface yet featuring a first-order crossover on the tweeter and no crossover on the mid-woofer is no doubt a feature designed to help optimize placement. If the speaker is placed horizontally (with the tweeter cl... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
I could use a project like this - it would be a nice break from M&A case analysis. If you're seriously up for this one, shoot me an e-mail. JQ will stay at home this time.

Somebody (in the Dallas area) really should build a 7 1/2' line array with these things (and then have a shootout with his Dali's). Hint, hint...I'll donate some CAT-5 for the wiring.
