| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Bvdiman, what has happened with you virtual system page? I've just looked for it, hoping you had a chance to test the DG-38 and the PD-1220 but I was not able to find it. I also do not see it anymore next to your avatar. | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Audiozen, I do not agree with what you are saying. Firstly, with Accuphase (and any serious manufactures for that matter) there are no quantum leaps in performance from one generation to the other. The new generation is most often "only" a fine tu... | |
| Sub placement Another reason why I can't get the "put your head where the sub sounds best" thing is that it takes the main speakers out of the picture...and the sub/main synergy is where the mojo lives. Wolf_garcia, you are incorrect again. As I have mentioned ... | |
| Sub placement Hi Marty, what you report it can certainly happen but it is not the general rule. Sometimes the interference fringes may be less affected when rotating and/or moving the sub. I am sure that you have often noticed while setting up your sub that mov... | |
| Sub placement Marty, the orientation of the subwoofer can make a big difference as the interference patter in the room, i.e. position of the bass nulls and peaks, depends sensitively on the relative orientation of the cone (and port) with respect to the walls. ... | |
| Sub placement Elizabeth, are you sure that you have describe the "echo-slap" theory correctly? Any room echoes are detrimental to the sound of a stereo, so why would one want to excite as many room modes as possible? Even in rooms that are perfectly symmetric o... | |
| Sub placement Wolf_garcia, regarding your comment:The "put the sub in your listening spot" suggestion is ridiculous (but amusing) so ignore that oneYou are simple incorrect. Placing the sub in the listening position and then walking/crawling across the room to ... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? Kiddman, I did not say that Wilson ever said that their old speakers can be harsh and/or fatigue. That story is indeed told by reviewers and dealers. However, what you wrote is only half of the story. Basically, we are told that the Wilson can be ... | |
| Raidho C1.1 The Raidho C1.1 deserve a much better subwoofer than the REL T9. We talk about a 12k euros pair of speakers and a 900 euros subwoofer ... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? Regarding Wilson speakers and acoustic problems, I tend to disagree a bit with Bo1972. Wilson dealers, while not experts, they know a bit more than the average dealer about placing and setting up their speakers - as they are trained to set up Wils... | |
| Franco Serblin RIP Anybody knows why he sold/left Sonus Faber? | |
| Sub placement Have a look at the following thread for some good explanations about subwoofer set-up:SubWoofer Help ASAP...Regarding your question, there are four possible orientations so you would need to experiment. :)Good luck!Paul | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Hi Bvdiman, I have just seen on your system page that you have bough a pair of A-100 mono blocks and also the DP-900/DC-901 SACD player. Congratulations! (In my first post to you here, I was not aware of this and I was actually wondering why are y... | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Bvdiman, unlike most of the old Accuphase power amps, the new amps (i.e. including the A-46 amp) have two sets of speaker terminals and therefore also on/off buttons (on the front panel) for each set.Also Bvdiman, would you care to share with us y... | |
| Raidho C1.1 Hi guys,I had a Rel Stentor 3 for 4 years in my system (which complemented a set of Focal Utopia Micro Be speakers). While I was quite happy with the REL (and the whole system for that matter) I am reluctant to recommend it. After starting doing m... |
