| Help with Infinity IRS speakers. I believe Paul is correct about your particular Krell amps being underpowered for those speakers. When played even at moderately loud levels there would probably be a lot of clipping. See if you can try an amp that is more powerful and very stable... | |
| Help with Infinity IRS speakers. Well, you didn't mention what amplifier you are using or how loud you like to play the speakers. If the speakers seem to be distorting on loud peaks you could be overdriving your amp. If you turn the level down does it still distort on the same sp... | |
| Important Info for Meadowlark Owners Hey Dan,Are you sure that the tweeters are working? | |
| Do I want more bass? If I had to lift/drag/transport a big pair of Dunlavys into my listening room I guarantee that it would change my life -- especially in those *lower registers*! | |
| How much are you worth ? Well let's see now -- using the formula you've provided , that would leave about 52% of the budget for high-end purchases. I'd say that's just about right. :) | |
| Washington Post Article Kubla, you're right, it was a male author -- sorry I got that mixed up. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway, right? The guy probably drives a hot sports car that he pays $500/month to own and depreciates almost as fast as he can drive it ...... | |
| Washington Post Article To tell the truth, I din't think the article was all that demeaning and it actually made some good points. I thought I could sense a sort of a minor sour grapes syndrome on the part of the author (a women who points out that very few women are int... | |
| Help with power amp Sean's comments on the Monarchy and MF amps seem quite adequate. My personal preference is for the warm smooth character of the Monarchy SE 100s. I believe the ARC D115 is an older, somewhat dated, tube design, which sounds nice, but exhibits a re... | |
| HOW MUCH GAIN ????? Other factors for determining the necessary gain are the input sensitivity of your amplifier and the efficiency of your speakers. These parameters can and do vary widely from system to system and definitely affect the amount of overall gain requir... | |
| Best speakers at show? Merlin by far The Merlins were very good, but in view of all the other great sounding exhibits that I heard, like the Joseph Audio speakers, the Impact Technology Airfoils, and even the Newform Research R645s -- as much as I liked the Merlins, I'd have to say t... | |
| need advice on source This is interesting -- my ART D/IO arrived today and all was not as I had previously thought. For one thing, there are no RCA analog outputs. The analog outs are on standard 1/4" jacks, the type used on guitar amps, so 1/4" to RCA converter jacks ... | |
| need advice on source Well, I think this is supposed to be a secret (but I wasn't sworn to secrecy) and I can't really comment from actual listening experience because my unit hasn't yet arrived, but a musical instrument company called Applied Research and Technology m... | |
| Von Schweikert VM-3 Monitor? I had the VM-2s which used the same drivers in a smaller cabinet, and only one woofer instead of 2. The imaging was excellent and the speaker was well balanced and provided very good vocal reproduction with a fair amount of fine detail. Of course ... | |
| Fired up the TT for the first time That Basis/Graham/Herron combination sounds like a real winner, and actually I'd love to own that rig myself, but my bank account is much healthier without spending that much cash. I use the Michell Gyro II SE with the Origin Live Rega RB250 and B... | |
| What songs make you cry? Hey, what about "One More Minute," Weird Al's spoof of tear-jerkers -- sometimes I spew tears from laughing too hard, and it's especially funny to see him perform it. As for my real choices, I have to admit that the following have brought tears on... |
