| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? @mijostyn - Okay that explains why Klipsch did it... the link was to Magnepan.In regards to your system a third middle channel will do nothing to increase the "sweet" spot.I took 'sweet' spot to mean good off axis frequency response... theoretical... | |
| Bi Wiring mandated on Triangle Comete ES? I'm not going to spend hundreds on jumper cablesJust use bare speaker wire. | |
| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? I found this article on Magnepan site that details some history on the subject https://www.magnepan.com/betterthanstereoI only just read this... my bet is that the centre is out of phase with the left and right to some degree. That would create t... | |
| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? puts the center in series with L&RI think I'd need to see a diagram... I assumed you meant left and right were wired normally with the centre taking a tap off one positive and the other negative. If that was the case then follow the positive w... | |
| Sound proofing panels and other equipment - What is the best out there right now I won’t go over what many have said here but in your case you’re probably best attacking the weak spots to start with. It’s very difficult to suggest something without knowing the situation of the room e.g. what the floor and wall materials are an... | |
| Who knows something about Tri-channel 3-channel stereo for music (not HT)? I have tried connecting the 3rd speaker located in the center in series with the stereo pair - jumpered to positive speaker pole of one (say left) and negative to the other (say right) speakerI wouldn't go about it this way, if I understand you co... | |
| EQ Thats affordable You're probably best going for a MiniDSP 2x4 HD, if you keep the leads short there shouldn't be a problem using RCA connections. I'm not sure whether MiniDSP do a balanced version with USB audio input.If you do go for the 2x4 HD make sure to updat... | |
| EQ Thats affordable If you are going analogue-minidsp-analogue then balanced (XLR) will be better than single ended (Phono/RCA). If you're using the headphone out on your macbook then you'll find a major improvement by streaming through the MiniDSP USB input and usin... | |
| EQ Thats affordable I only have experience with Mini DSP which are very good if used conservatively. If you use a digital source then the best bet would be SPDIF/I2S from the source into the MINIDSP then SPDIF/I2S into a DAC of your choice; for analoge go for the bal... | |
| Can an IC based amp be considered 'high end'? most IC-based stuff can be improved by putting a Burson op amp replacementI've seen those before, occasionally they give away free samples on diyaudio. If you want to improve your equipment by swapping out op amps you really need to understand the... | |
| What is the appropriate horsepower (wattage) for a new pair of PSB T2's? There was a poll over on diyaudio some time ago where people measured their maximum power requirements using their own amps and speakers. 71% needed 25W or less with only 16% needing over 100W and that is the maximum power they needed not their no... | |
| What is the appropriate horsepower (wattage) for a new pair of PSB T2's? The main factors in deciding what power you need are the size of your room, type of music and your preferred listening level. Those speakers are fairly sensitive (90dB) so unless you have a particularly large room then you probably don't need anyt... | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. @geoffkait Basically the volume level of a given CD is a function of its dynamic range. That’s why one is inclined to turn the volume knob higher (or lower) for some CDs relative to the one you just played. The louder the CD sounds at a given vol... | |
| Each recording has one right volume level. I’ve often wondered whether there’s a market for a pre-amp with a 3 band studio quality parametric eq... only problem is that people would have to learn how to operate them. If you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll probably make the sound worse.... | |
