| Center Channel for Dunlavy SC-IV? Hi Texas:Here are a few thoughts based on considerations I've given to my Duntech Princesses, a close sibling to your SC-IVs.1. I agree with the criticisms of horizontal D'Apolito arrays for center channelspeakers. For anyone not on direct center ... | |
| speaker recommendations for a 12 x 12 room? Here's another vote for monitor (by design, not necessarily by name or model) speakers intended for near field listening. This should help overcome your limited maximum boundary dimension. You have several options from Spendor, Harbeth, ProAc, Tot... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values John Dunlavy's placement recommendations: Yes, John typically suggested long wall placement. This was (in part) to maximize speaker placement from the sidewalls. He recommended greater distances from sidewall to the center axis of drivers than fro... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Shadorne, I've read your response a couple of times and it does not make sense to me. Assuming you meant an unshaded light bulb (360 degree radiation) compared to a spot light (believe flood lights come in a wide variety of radiation patterns) in ... | |
| Upgrades for Scoutmaster, In order of improvement? Based on my experience of hearing a friend's Scout with the Teres VERUS rim drive/controller, if I owned any VPI table that could accommodate it, that is the upgrade I would make before considering any other.A logical question may be, why spend as... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Respectfully to Shadorne, if DALs have a narrow dispersion then why is distance and angle from the sidewalls so critical, as well as the reflectivity of these walls?My experience with DAL and Duntech speakers suggests two conditions. The speakers ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVA X-over resistor values Jonathan, first off, I think you underestimate Dunlavy's build quality. Do you think John was hand building every speaker? No, but he had a staff to work on his assembly section. Every driver was measured (with a file kept on your speakers so long... | |
| Simple System for a Super Senior? For simple, compact, reasonable sound systems I would add the 3-piece table top systems from JVC or Denon. Don't know model numbers but I've heard both and they can offer surprisingly balanced sound for under $1K. And a big plus, they are easy to ... | |
| Anyone experienced with Sound Guard? Wow, thanks guys.Most questions in audio result in all kinds of answers with very little consensus. This appears to be the exception. Believe I'll "dispose of" the fluid and find another use for the pad. | |
| Name brands that are not so well known are skipped First to mind is RE Designs. Unfortunately, Dan had little patience for "audiophile mentality" customers and ended production.The LNPA-150 mono bloc amps are a rare product; well engineered and well built while they sold for a fair price. They ran... | |
| Optimal room for org sonus faber cremonas Hi Tda:Allow me to offer a few considerations.1. Why not contact Sonus Faber to ask if they have room recommendations?2. Rives and other consultants can provide you basic help without visiting your home so being in Europe should not matter.3. Ther... | |
| Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se I've owned my 5-driver, 3-way, sealed box, dynamic driver speakers for 18 years. During that time I've owned or auditioned various RAM, Atmasphere, Cary, Joule Electra, VTL, ARC, Classe, Eagle, Boulder, PS Audio, RE Designs, and Threshold amps. Fo... | |
| The closest approach...really Ggavetti, what is real is what we perceive to be real. And it does not necessarily relate to huge differences, such as "bombastic bass".My feeling is that you and I could attend the same concert, seated side by side, and have a quality recording m... | |
| Time Windows grill replacement I was able to help a friend restore his DCM Time Windows a few years ago by ordering new sox (grill cloth) from the factory. You might try contacting them again. | |
| The closest approach...really While apparently Mrtennis does not need any defenders, a couple of thoughts come to mind which apply to all of us in these audio forums.#1, our hearing biological hearing systems may be similar, but not the same. Consider age, gender, health, etc.... |
