| 2nd system for office, all-in-one integrated suggestions What about a hybrid solution like the Heaven 11 Billie? | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier Depending on the seating distance from the speakers and how loud you listen, I'd look for something that is at least 20wpc. I have a little 5wpc tube amp and with my 91dB rated speakers at about 8' away and I get plenty of volume for my office sy... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! ^^ Agreed. I understand some speaker and gear designs are functionally great, but they are either ugly or boring. I can't look at that every day, no matter how good they perform. | |
| Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed Is the issue apparent almost immediately after power up, or does it take a while for it to start acting up? I had a somewhat similar issue with my little tube amp recently and it turned out to be a solder point on one of the resistors, inside.... | |
| Listen to a CD or LP in showroom? I would just call ahead to the various dealers that you plan on visiting and tell them you want to bring your own CD's and LP's. This way, they can move some CD transports and turntables around as needed in anticipation of your arrival. | |
| Advice on Speaker upgrade vs System Component Upgrade Your local dealer would probably deliver and set up the speakers in your home for you to evaluate for a time, especially at that price point. I’d have a console with them to see what they think. | |
| Crossover frequency curves - what should I be looking for? Generally, you would want the summed responses of all the drivers to be equal across the entire spectrum. This can change, sometimes dramatically, when listening off-axis where phase-issues between the drivers at those crossover frequencies revea... | |
| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range I think you can get full-range drivers to play some good bass, in-room. But the cost would be cabinet size. You can take a larger 10"-15" full-range driver, but with their reduced xmax, they need a big enclosure to reach into the lower frequenci... | |
| In Walls Leon, James Loudspeakers, Phase Technology and Wisdom Audio are all top-notch. Most all the pedestrian brands I have come across over the many years like Polk, Klipsch, etc. are "meh" at best. | |
| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range Let's pretend the cone has to play 2 tones, for example, 100 Hz and 3000Hz, simultaneously. Imagine looking at the speaker cone in slow-motion. As it is progressing through its' 100Hz cycles, the cone is also moving, (vibrating), just ever so sl... | |
| BEST ON WALL/IN WALL SPEAKERS? Triad, James, Leon. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Sitting On Dual Subs? Probably the tweeter height would be my biggest concern. It might be way too low. | |
| Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers How about a set of Klipsch Cornwalls or La Scala’s? | |
| Inexpensive streaming amplifier The Powernode or a Sonos Amp would be the easiest ways to go. | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Of the $1500 budget, I'd spend about $500 - $600 on a nice, basic turntable, pick up a set of Klipsch The Fives powered speakers and with the funds remaining, some vinyl to play. |
