| Dynamic Headroom vs Resistance In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same across each resistor. If the resistors are equal in value, the amperage is equal in value (E=IR) across each resistor. So a parallel circuit of equal resistance value will utilize twice the current si... | |
| A Simple Test Very clever! Thanks for sharing. | |
| matching impedances Agree with Newbee -- that input impedence will match up with almost anything. If the amp has both balanced (XLR) and RCA inputs, you may want to be sure the input impedence of both are at least 6k (12k is better) if you plan to potentially use eit... | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Holy cow! Now Charles is a guy who's put a lot of serious thought into this, well ... except for the kitchen ;-) Charles, I'll give you a call when I win the lottery. | |
| help thiel 2.4 placement??? Yes. I opted for brass cones/discs because: 1) They looked a lot nicer and that appealed to my wife, 2) I was able to purchase brass pucks with the cones so did not have to leave permanent marks on my wood floor, and 3) By the time I ordered the c... | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Ditto on the acoustical room as the first priority. Add separate transformers and dedicated lines with the works -- e.g., star grounding, high quality outlets, ceramic fuses. One large room that allows me to listen to the music while in the kitche... | |
| help thiel 2.4 placement??? Slight clarification. I meant to say that isolation cones attached to the bottom of the speakers and affixed to the floor or metal pucks add a lot to the character of Thiels. That's what I meant by "speaker cones between them and the floor". These... | |
| help thiel 2.4 placement??? Nice post Redkiwi. From my experience with the larger Thiels, they do like their breathing room between the speakers. Typically, setting up an equilateral triangle with speaker, speaker, listener is a good starting point. I've noticed that the Thi... | |
| "Power - what is most important." Apparently, you can't use the search engine to find these titles. I don't know why. One should be able to do that, but I tried it for grins and it just doesn't work. So, here are the actual reference addresses -- just copy to the address line on y... | |
| MIT rumors are untrue Thanks for the info Joe. You had me worried for a minute that I may have misrepresented you, but I went over my past threads where I recommended you and I'm in the clear! Whew ;-) But I did think you represented MIT in a different manner, so thank... | |
| Is it possible to shield unshielded speakers? Dweller is right -- to expand on that just a little, I've always noticed the distortion on the edges/corners of the picture. The color may be saturated or the picture distorted. Even small distance separations can make a big difference since the s... | |
| Montana EPX opinions? Marc, I've owned the KAS's and currently own the WAS's. I believe the reviews that are on the Montana website for the SP (SP3) and EPS's are generally applicable to the entire line. The speakers are very realistic with a smooth frequency response.... | |
| "Power - what is most important." A while ago, I posted some "best of" threads related to power, outlets, conditioners, etc. Here's a copy. It could save you some work in your research. I'm sure there are some more current threads, but these are some oldies but goodies. Search on ... | |
| Can I use an 'Integrated Amp' as just an Amp? Back in the day, some integrateds used "U" shaped metal connectors to tie the amp and preamp together. These were rca jacks on the rear. That's a long shot, and you probably would have figured that out anyway, but just in case ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Thanks for the heads up Pops. I've never heard of it, but will give it a try. |
