| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS Ptheo, $1350 is a very good price for a pair of Ref 9.02s. I'd snap them up if I was interested.The extended bass version doubles the input capacitance and results in the bass response being a bit more linear out to 20Hz. It gives the amp a little... | |
| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS I totally disagree with Stereotaipei. The NuForce Ref 9 mono's put out 300W RMS into 4 ohm loads and can pass undistorted peaks of 650 Watts. And the Reference 9SE's put out 250 watts RMS at 4 ohms and can pass undistorted short-term peaks of 660 ... | |
| how to tell if a TAD 803 is 2005 2 way version? I think Paul put a sticker under the grills of some of the ones he converted to the single-driver model, although I had one pair that was the SD version that didn't have the sticker.I can tell you that the SD version sounds markedly rolled off in ... | |
| BEHOLD - digital gear from Germany From what I heard from Stereo Times' publisher Clement Perry, the Behold gear is in a class by itself. He said something about the incredible density/solidity of the instrumental images and possibly taking out a second mortage to buy the review sa... | |
| Pitch problem. Help From what I just read, the Speed Box seems to be an AC synchronous device. It will not work with all turntables and it won't work with turntables that have DC motors. It won't work with certain Project turntables. I would check with the manufactur... | |
| AZ Matrix Ref 2, Audio Metallurgy GA-0, Pure Note The GA-0's are the best cables I've ever heard, period. I presently have them in my two systems with stunningly good results. Unfortunately, I don't believe they make them in long lengths due to their construction.Then again, the Audio Metallury m... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Man, what a load of crap! I could run one of those new hybrid cars across country on the amount of natural gas ( or perhaps it's merely a political stew) supplied in the above replies.Thanks for the laugh, but you gents need a reality check! While... | |
| reluctant about home theater I don't know guys, I have a decent 5.1 system and I've watched and listened to MANY great 5.1 concerts on it. It still does not have the transparency and purity of either of my other two-channel systems (although if you just listen to the 5.1 by i... | |
| reluctant about home theater A lot of people combine the two using the HT pass-through when they want to go the purist 2-channel route. If you use a projection system instead of putting a big TV between the speakers then the imaging shouldn't be compromised. Other folks have ... | |
| SMALL, but efficient speaker The new Silverline Preludes will do the job nicely. You get deep, articulate bass and high efficiency in a petite floorstander. They work very well in small and medium size rooms and sound wonderful with all types of amplifiers. The latest model i... | |
| Advantages of Ruby 3H vs Ruby 3? The reason for low output moving coils is that the coils are very light and have very low mass -- therefore, their transient response is faster than higher output moving coils that use heavier, more massive wire coils. Of course this will only be ... | |
| 2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD I pick Regina Spektor's "Begin to Hope" CD. She has a nice voice, and writes quirky, kind of flippant lyrics. I find her vocals and music refreshingly original in a world of copy-cat pretenders. Plus, it's just plain fun to listen to. | |
| Low volume bookshelf spkrs that go from 20 to 20k? Following up on what Narrod offered, a square room that size will make the bass response very uneven because there will be a large bass boost at some bass frequency. This will make the bass way out of true proportion whenever you hit notes in the ... | |
| Harsh cable audio solution? I have to agree with Elevick. I have Comcast digital cable with the Motorola HD box (digital coax hookup into a Sherwood 5.1 Surround receiver) and the sound quality is very good.On the channels that broadcast in 5.1 surround, the HD picture is be... | |
| Roger Sanders is back It's great to see Roger is back on his own. I knew him from his early InnerSound days before they were sold. He was alway a great guy to share ideas with and is very enthusiastic about audio. I wish him well and am also curious to see what kind of... |
