| BEST monitor speaker with a 90db senitivity rating Markeetaux,My Reference 3A DeCapos work very well with a 5 watt/ch. 2A3 tube amp and have more volume than I can use in my small-medium sized room. They are very easy to drive with a simple crossover and 93db eff.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Speaker Switching Box Suggestions Dodgealum,Russound, NuVo, Niles are some whole house audio companies. I'm no expert, so you might want to repost your message with a title like "Whole House Audio" or something similar. I know there are some dealers on this site that sell whole ho... | |
| Speaker Switching Box Suggestions Dodge,You are probably correct (or partially correct). If the preamp has 2 outputs, send one to the amp driving the speakers in the main room. Send the other to either a seperate amp (as you suggested) or to a multi zone amp (as used by whole-hous... | |
| BEST monitor speaker with a 90db senitivity rating The Reference 3A DeCapo is generally considered to be a very good monitor for someone wanting high-ish efficiency. They are 93 db eff. and are very easy to drive. I've powered mine with as little as 1.5W of 45 SET tube amp power. I've also driven ... | |
| Speaker Switching Box Suggestions Dodgealum,What electronics are you considering for the main 2-channel system? If you can build a system that has independant amplification for the main 2-channel room and seperate amplification for the other zones, it should eliminate the problems... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Studioray,I bought a pair of these to use for testing and for casual listening in a "portable" system. They are very good for $40 and are decent at 2-3 times that price. However, they do not compare favorably to the $400+ speakers you mentioned.If... | |
| My North Star DAC -not picking up Toslink from STB When you try it, make sure you are sending a PCM (stereo) digital signal from the STB, not a Dolby Digital signal. I've tried using a DAC with a STB only to find out that my STB can not be set up to output PCM. It only outputs DD, so it won't work... | |
| Plasma motion artifacts with satellite TV Samuellaudio,The problem you describe sounds like a signal degredation issue, not a display issue. I had similar experience with digital cable and the cable company came out, checked my signal and promptly replaced the cable coming into my house. ... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Drubin,I own the Ref. 3A DeCapos and these Presidians. There is no confusing the two! BTW, My Decapos which supposedly "have a single cap" on the tweeter, actually have 4 components in the crossover. It's strange: When I enquired with Divergent Te... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Whipsaw Tony,Which CD player did you choose? TIC | |
| CD player around 1K Skateman,Do you plan to have the CD player connected to both systems? Are the HT and 2-channel rigs in the same room, on the same rack, etc?There are some great players that might be good for a shared setup. Let us know how the systems are set up,... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? OK, I hooked up the Presidians to my trusty Sharp SD-EX111 (which was THE killer deal on closeout for $70 at Overstocks.com) and right out of the box they sound pretty good. They are a bit lacking in bass, but sound pretty good and much better tha... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Since I had to return a gift to RS today, I picked up a pair of these speakers. I'll give you an update when I get a chance to play with them a bit.TIC | |
| Linn Classik All-in-one box solutions Steuspeed,I have another rather unorthodox suggestion. If you desire good sound, but don't want to spend much money, try to find a Sharp SD-EX111. This is trickle down technology from the original $15,000 Sharp Digital Integrated Amp that graced t... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Petey,Over the years I've seen you post many, many times about different speakers you've bought. If someone asked "what Audio Forum Member has owned the most speakers", you would be the first one to come to mind!So, considering the vast number of ... |
