| Phasing the Vandersteen 2Wq Sometimes physically moving the sub a few inches one way or the other can have a dramatic impact on bass performance. That is what I'd try first. Moving it closer or farther from the satellites will also affect the phase relationships, and too, th... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts I've heard great things about Thiel's service as well. Good luck to you! | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Ketchup, it's really not that critical, but I'd err towards the higher power side if you have a large room and like to crank it up now and then. If I recall, I think the 3.5s use active bass equalization, and if that's the case, the bass will tend... | |
| Noise in an old NAD 3020 The potentiometers are probably dirty and need to be sprayed and worked with some tuner spray. That is a common problem with those units.As for the turn-on distortion, I used to have one that did that. It seemed to be exacerbated if I had the "lou... | |
| Confused by Dynaudio specs. Generally, you will get higher acoustic output and greater efficiency/sensitivity from systems with larger drivers. When you see systems with smaller bass drivers rated to delve very low, they may be more linear into the low bass, but they will no... | |
| Parasound power cable question? The 18 gauge cord is definitely not optimal for a large power amp. It will work, but it will compromise the sound of the amp. I still use Parasound's "Wonderful" cord on a Parasound transport and as Rcrump says, it is quite good for a stock cord. ... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Cjr, I've been hearing about the 2A3 amps and it seems like a lot of folks like amps that use this tube. I may look for an affordable one to try.Meanwhile, I have an old Van Alstine modified Dyna 70 that I just replaced the input jacks on, and it ... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Thanks JM, I appreciate the benefit of your experience regarding the amplifier question. One final thought I'm having about the Klipsch, and probably what surprised me the most, is their incredible speed and clarity. I expected the great, virtuall... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Wellfed, to answer your question on an imaging comparison between the Virgos and the Klipsch Chorus, to me, the Klipsch's images have a bit more body and a bit better dynamic contrast (not night and day by any means). The Virgos are a little more ... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Flemke, I had 4 turntables but I sold one of my two Michells recently, so now I'm down to 3. I even have a vintage Dual that is set up to play 78s, exclusively. How many should I have?BTW, if you don't have a reel-to-reel tape machine you really s... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Thanks guys for your comments and words of encouragement. Having owned and auditioned so many different kinds of speakers I have an appreciation for the merits of all types and would never limit myself to only one type of design. I'm just happy th... | |
| Help: I've been Klipsched Snu00, which tube amp have you had the most success with on the Chorus? Thanks! | |
| Which taps 8 or 4 ohm for electrostats? I personally think you'd be better off using the 4-ohm taps.However, I don't think it would hurt the amp to make the comparison as long as you keep to a moderate volume level.Once you've made the comparison, if the 8-ohm setting sounds better to y... | |
| Owners of the JA Michell SE turntable..question. My light never worked either, and I bought the unit new from a dealer -- if you're talking about the Gyro SE. But, you'd have to be pretty drunk not to see the platter spinning, what, with the dangling gold weights and all... :)That said, the ligh... | |
| Mono block install question Usually, you'd run the signal through the preamp into the active crossover and then to amplifiers powering the respective bass and mid/treble sections of the speakers.Some folks like to run the satellites full range and use the crossover only to t... |
