| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Tim, how do you toe-in the Magnepans? Do the speaker axes cross in front of you, at your position, or behind you? I think this matters, also in terms of sub integration. To get my former system time-coherent I had to place the Velodyne DD18 a bit ... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Hi TimOptional - exactly. I have followed Romeyn’s advice in my own LCS setup, and 95 percent of it was extremely helpful and good. But at some point, it becomes a matter of individual room integration and also listener preference. I do use phase ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? I would guess that Dream Makers like other AK speakers sound best with beryllium tweeters, but I have not heard them. The PRVs lifted a veil compared to the Celestions, so thats why they stay put, but I may test with the Celestions, later. They ha... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Clio09 - the LCS effect speakers are a bit of plus and minus in my system, but tuned right (and turned quite low) they are mainly a plus. Helps fill the room, smoother bass, some more dimensionality. But I agree, the Dream Makers alone are very go... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Noble100 - re: debra / swarm system - phase changes. I have found reasons to not always follow Audiokinesis advice "mechanically" - it depends on your room and a bit on your listening tastes also. So I’ve now found that my main Dream Maker speaker... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel Dear all, as stated in a post above, I’ve tried a lot of subs, and gradually gave up on it, preferring another system (main + effect speakers) instead. Why? I worked a lot with sub positioning. Getting the subs and the room to agree. The more that... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten tswisla - I followed Ralphs advice, and bought Audiokinesis Dream Maker speakers to match the MA-1 amps. Very glad I did. They fit my large room, you might prefer something smaller. I live across the Atlantic, so buying US products is more expe... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Interesting, Clio09. I feel lucky to own a pair of Audiokinesis Dream Makers, that probably sound even better than the Jazz Modules (have not compared). My respect for them, and for Duke's philosophy and design, has grown over the years. I think a... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Hi folks I supplied some long term user information regarding horns. What about some others, not just opinions - ? | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Dear all, sorry for a long post here - but here is some experience, using a horn system with OTL amps - Audiokinesis Dream Maker and LCS speakers and Atma-sphere MA-1 amps. I have no commercial connection whatever with the manufacturers mentioned ... | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel I use a pair of Audiokinesis Dream Maker speakers, plus a pair of their LCS "effect" speakers firing towards the ceiling. I just want to point out that the LCS helps with the bass too, although their main purpose is to enrich the total sound (a va... | |
| SUT or phono stage? My experience is different. With a good phono preamp like the Aesthetix Io, I prefer a direct connection, no SUT. Although my testing has been limited. It has involved carts in the .25 - .60 mV output range. With a tube phono preamp there will be... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it Here is a quick tip - how to get your cartriddge to last longer. After a lot of experimenting, here is my "regime" for playing vinyl records.-1) Use the Mofi record brush to wipe away dust. Before playing a record, let the record spin some rounds,... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten I bought used MA-1s here on Audiogon some years ago, and later upgraded to v3.2. I am very happy with the sound. The support from Ralph &co has been outstanding. | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Update: I have got a replacement for the broken cartridge, and I am very happy with the performance. Some testing: The new Atlas makes it clearer that the subsonic effects (and possibly, the subsonic woofer pumping once per revolution) is part of ... |
