| Bass Issues Disconnect the bass section on mains? YES, the problem would be could you produce enough Mid Bass 100-250-300 hz range.Again, if your not squeamish (purest) about an EQ, or inserting an active OX (300.00 usd) like a Behringer 2496 in between th... | |
| Subwoofer on Top??? I'm all for raising it, as a matter of fact I encourage that. Just not on top of a monitor cabinet... The other way around, maybe, BUT I'm still in favor of separate boxes if you can. It eliminates the back side of the driver being influenced by o... | |
| Bass Issues You need a way to block from whatever UP, you cannot control on the way down. SO if you only have control from 80 down, you need to cut from 80 down on the mains.. That make since? The boom will go away...Simplest way to make it work. Or disconnec... | |
| Bass Issues Getting a speaker to sound good on a particular room is ~ 90% getting the 20-300 Hz region in good shape. This optimization involves too many variables that are not fully independent. Unless you have a very favorably designed room and a speaker th... | |

| Replacing driver screws with brass screws 359/379 Peterbilt, aluminum nose. A true classic. I used to be in charge of 118 359s, and 26, 379s.. That puts a date on me for sure.. All Cummins power. Then I went HEAVY duty..Regards | |
| Subwoofer on Top??? The second part, the "sub" thing is, It's probably doing more than just SUB bass duty, Above 60-100hz things start getting pretty directional..Third, you really don't want all the vibrating and such ON the monitor cabinet.. Tweeters and mids, real... | |
| Budget Basement System Troubles! YUP, pick your poison, and go from there. Most of the Sonys I use use(ES series) have a remote and I adjust from there. You have the Sony remote that comes with the unit (s)?No bad or loose RCAs. You've checked the easy stuff, right?As far as the ... | |
| “Insides” of tubes Long story or not, they aren't gonna look and be exact. BUT they shouldn't look all cattywampus either. Be reasonable. Does it look all out of whack?YES, I'm saying something caused it to look that way. The valves are suppose to pass a "VISUAL" in... | |
| “Insides” of tubes If it what I'm thinking about, it might not cause a problem, but what did you pay for those valves? It was either put together in hast or got a bad bump in transport..Looks do count. It's actually part of the inspection process. Most likely a tran... | |

| What do you think of this power cord? I'll tell you this about the woven cables they make. They are good inexpensive, OFC cables. Double grounds, work well for floor noise issues. I use something very close, I DIY. I don't recommend it if you're not comfortable, or good at it.. They ... | |
| Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules Be patient, you learned. If they come back they "want", to buy it, not forced to buy it.. BIG difference, in a win, win, sale, AY!Regards | |
| Tubes? daj9 posts08-24-2020 9:18pm@jjss49 The heavy handed advice does hit on the conflict in terms of the concern expressed in the post and the speaker OP owns, though it's easy to see how this might be overlooked due to the rather obnoxious style in ... | |
| Low incoming voltage That PS Audio is 5,000.00 USD, WOW. Really. I've seen folks buy a PS Audio product and ask, "What PC to use", I don't get it (I think that one was 9000.00) it doesn't come with the best in world? The only one that could possibly work the best, sho... |
