| speaker stand question As long as your ear is within 6-8 inches of the tweeter output you should be fine...but the closer to ear level the better...on ave 36 inches with tweeter on top configuration...which is about the average for most floorstanders...but I would agree... | |
| nad 370 upgrade I have Quad 12LS and am flabbergasted at the level of detail,transparency,soundstaging,dynamics, and bass...they have a very "open" presentation...with a "sweet spot" that simply fills the room...I am also using NAD amplification and have not expe... | |
| nad 370 upgrade to be honest..the NAD is probably not the culprit...as good as Paradigm is...I found them to have poor off-axis response (small sweetspot)...Im not trying to be cruel...so please dont crucify me...but for added bass and a more "open" sounding syst... | |
| NHT 2.3A vs. NHT 3.3 original model the only downside to NHT regarding their "slanted baffle/focused gometry design"...the soundstage never gets outside of the speakers....granted they image well(but what doesnt at this level)...however they sound a bit "closed n" for my tastes... | |
| Want More Bass also...for bass heavy music...I prefer solid state...a sub will also add depth to your monitors...the adire model is actually the "rava" or "rava se"...good luck | |
| Want More Bass without knowledge of your speakers...the most cost effective way to add bass is a sub...and since you will be sitting in the sin wave of the sub...its pretty much a no brainer....I could recommend some floorstanders...but chances are u will still ... | |
| Choking more SPL's out of Maggie 3.6's Nothing wrong with Bryston power...they are one of the best combos to bring out Maggie bass...Maggies simply lack "impact" and dynamics due to their dipole design...which is out of phase as well...that being said...Maggies still sound surprisingly... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct To really obtain the "tube glow" people speak of...one really needs classic tube power...such as Conrad Johnson,etc...a tube pre just doesnt add enough "color" in my estimation (if that is what one desires)...also...as far as the "black background... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? Also...I would experiment with speaker placement,damping, cables, or improving stands(if u own monitors)...before having the itch to upgrade crossovers...if one is that unhappy with the performance of their speakers...better to simply buy a new se... | |
| "Parts upgrade" on crossovers -Any experiences? Agree...the added sonic benefits...if any...of crossover modding are not worth the effort...most of the R&D in hi-end speakers is performing listening tests on various crossover networks for a particular design...so what might seem simple in t... | |
| More questions from Chris L. Hard to meet audio nirvana even at that price...but hey...one has to start somewhere...I would personally shop around...there is a pair of Ruark monitors on site for less than $300 which would be a great deal...dont panic...and stick to 2-way moni... | |
| bookshelf to floorstanding-real upgrade? Keep the NHTs and add a nice musical sub...you wont be gaining much bass extension....unless you go with very large floorstander...in which loss of imaging might come in to play...which will probably overide your room anyway...the NHTS with a sub.... | |
| REL Quake/MJ acoustics pro 50 sub ARAM...I dont believe the pro 50 is available over the pond yet..let me know if you know any differently...cheers...thanks to all for their posts... | |
| Vintage amp and Hi-end speakers-good match Vintage tube gear sounds great...Vintage solid state sounds pretty bad...any new amp by Nad,Rotel,etc will simply pull the pants down on the vintage...I used to have a Sansui and a highly regarded Pioneer SX series receiver...both of which were co... | |
| Upbeat music suggestions? Look no further than "big beat" electronic....such asChemical Brothers: Dig your own HoleThe Crystal Method: VegasPropellarheadsFatboy Slim: you've come a long ways, baby....all essential, upbeat, funky workouts...great stuff... |
