| Best speakers for small listening room Every room in my house is square. Standing waves are driving me crazy. I dont know the speakers mentioned but best to stay away from the ones that have an upper or mid-bass hump to compensate for their size. | |
| really small speakers less than 500 A lot of good suggestions flying blind. As far as the immediately preceding, at least he didnt leave a link. (I hesitated to mention my Harbeth HL-P3's which you might be able to talk me out of for something more than your budget if I decide to ge... | |
| Speaker wire - equal length or shortest? Not everyone agrees about different lengths. Of course, the wires to the speakers should be as short as possible, but you won't be able to tell the difference between different lengths to the speakers unless the disparity is really big and you hav... | |
| really small speakers less than 500 New or used?A 6 inch woofer isn't really small. Lots of good little speakers with 4-5 inch woofers.Cabinet size? i.e., no bigger than, e.g., 14 by 6 by 8? Smaller? | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation I wasnt going to respond to this but now I guess I have to. The Harbeth Compact 7's that I own, are not "compact" at all. They are about 6 or 7 times as big as the LS 3/5a in volume, ie, twice as high and deep and maybe 1 1/2 as wide. They are won... | |
| Hockey Pucks under amp? On the strength of this thread I tried some, but took em back. They're not as good as roller blade wheels. | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Ok, Njonker and Jmc have good advice. Try lifting the ground (use a cheater plug) on the amp and then the preamp, but my guess is that wont do it, because I dont think you have a grounding problem. I have tube preamps that in combination with othe... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Whosyoudaddy, good comment. I tried out a rave reviewed pair of speakers a few years ago and rejected them because they were too bright. When the dealer told the distributor (a famously obnoxious guy in the industry) his response was that (1) I ob... | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Maybe you do, maybe you dont. How loud is it? First, make sure your interconnects are all on tight, then try a cheater plug. Then move the cables around. Im not sure exactly about the cables but I am sure someone will respond with how to do that. ... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Re Detlof on Redkiwi: Here Here (Hear Hear?) | |
| Buying "Sound Unheard" I have bought several components and speakers without ever having heard them, some from dealers who will take things back if you dont like them without charging you a restocking fee. Cd players from Reference Audio Video, a Classe amp from another... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology I warned you. Now we've crossed over. Might as well be rec.audio.opinion or audioreview. | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Actually, I meant Detlof, but your post was ok too Jadem. | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Redkiwi, Jadem6, nicely done.When I compare wires, I notice sometimes that although I cant articulate a reason, I prefer one over another. That is to say, I dont decide, this one is best, I just enjoy whatever Im listening to more so that I forget... | |
| Honesty of the Reviewers Well, I'm not sure that "audiophiles are generally no fools." Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell something though really really good is not listed among Stereophile's recommended components. Or how many sales are made immediately upon a r... |
