| Vandersteen 5A I'm turned off by most every system I've heard that includes a subwoofer(s) -- I've got that extra bass and by God I'm going to use it! And this includes manufacturers and dealers at audio shows.Some time ago I read advice suggesting with the prop... | |
| Would Montana EPX be too big for my room? Suggest you contact PBN Audio and pose your question to Peter. He should be able to advise you better than anyone on the best model to work in your room. | |
| When cantilever not parallel to cartridge sides Rather than a new car with a pushed in fender, one where the wheels were not aligned. That is the effect you have here -- mis tracking.Cartridge set up/alignment can compensate for a few degrees of manufacturing error. As others suggested, use the... | |
| QUESTION ON LP If it is a "78", it is not an LP. LP stands for long-play which at 33.3 rpm provides more than 5 minutes playing time per side (most are 14 to 20 minutes and some examples exceed 20 minutes). 78s have a maximum playing time under 5 minutes. The mo... | |
| Speakers that disappear My Advents disappeared while I was at work. This was many years ago but when I came home they were gone, along with the Marantz receiver.But for a more serious answer, I would begin with room treatments and placement, as suggested by others. I do ... | |
| Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV trin, I have Duntech Princess, the older sibling to your DAL SC-IV. After trying many amps over the years, the best match I've found is the Halo JC-1 monoblocs. Unfortunately they are way above your budget, even used.Your speakers will be revealin... | |
| Sumiko MMT vs SME IIIs on Sota Sapphire Your choice of arm should be based on the cartridge(s) used, or vice-versa. Look for threads by Raul regarding the importance of matching cartridge and arm.This begins with the arm mass/cartridge compliance optimization but based on Raul's experie... | |
| 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 ... |
