| Von Schweikert vs Meadowlark vs Triangle i'm not sure how much power your amp has, but i would recommend you listen to the totem mani 2's. i preferred the mani's over the vr series (even the vr-4's) and the triangle's. i have not heard the osprey speakers. if you don't have a powerful am... | |
| 50hz deep enough? Bomarc, i don't have a misimpression about your thread or any others. you made a comment that states no bookshelf speaker is flat to 50hz. i disagree with you unless you can tell me that you have listened to all the bookshelf speakers out there. a... | |
| 50hz deep enough? for a small room like yours, the model 1's will sound very nice for your musical taste except for 110db headbanging metal. i used to own a pair in my audio room that is only a couple of feet bigger than yours. you can always get a musical sub to c... | |
| Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES the tri-vista sacd is one heck of a player, very nice sound. another fantastic sacd player for the same amount of money is the esoteric sacd. i have heard a few of dan's modded sacd players. i just heard his tubed modded sony 9000es sacd, which so... | |
| NHT 3.3...any info? i had the home theater setup that dave described above except i used the 2.9's. (2.9's, ac2, 1.5's, 2 sub two subs). i still use the ac2 and the 2 sub two's. i had better luck with the home theater setup than a pure audio setup with the nht's. i d... | |
| best concert venue for outdoors, the amphitheater in Jacksonville, oregon. for indoors, the arlene schnitzer hall on portland, oregon. | |
| Which Room has More Potential? set up your equipment in both and judge for yourself. nobody is going to be able to tell you which is better without seeing and testing the room for its oddities. spend time adjusting the setup in each room (speakers further from the wall, out wid... | |
| NHT 3.3...any info? before buying, make sure you listen to them with your equipment. i have owned 5 pairs of nht speakers in the past (from the superzeros to the 2.9's) and they can be irritating to listen to for long periods of time and they can be power hungry. i p... | |
| Totem Forest or Totem Mani 2 the forest speakers are very nice but imo, the mani 2's are much better if you have the right amplification. if you have a smaller size amp, I would lean toward the forest because they are much easier to drive. (15 watts is way too small for the f... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? not all people have ac issues or problems and it is impossible to say everybody needs a line conditioner. you will not be able to turn the sound of a $100 sony amp into the sound of a $30,000 sounding amp by hooking up a line conditioner. a good l... | |
| audio and photography parallels?? i'm into photography as a hobby and lately turned to all digital. i own a nice pentax sf1 autofocus 35mm film camera with multiple lenses and it is a very nice camera. the only drawback to film is that you have to get the film developed before you... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? i bought a pair back in 1978. used them for years and I liked them very much up until the early 90's. i recently sold them (been in my closet for many years) 5 months ago for $250. | |
| totem model 1 signature IMO, it would be a huge step up. when i owned a pair of model 1's, i had them 3ft from the back wall, and my mani 2's are further from the back wall. i would not recommend putting the totem model 1's close to the back wall because of the rear port... | |
| Who makes the narrowest SACD player? the sanyo player. | |
| Totem Winds are Too Bright a 45 watt amp wouldn't do justice to the totem arros let alone the winds. i have the smaller totem mani 2's and they need 200+ watts plus 'powerful' amp. if you like your tube amp, biamp the speakers using your tube amp for the top end and a solid... |
