| Please comment on your experience with Plantation shutters. Yes they look great, My room has three large windows on the left wall with plantation style shutters. The speakers are designed for a 45 degree toe in but I prefer them at 40 degrees. Therefore, sidewall reflections are not a major factor. The toe angle intersects ... | |
| Best current footers for preamps? I like the Cary Audio soft shoes. I purchased a set for my VAC preamp. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC One of the amplifiers used in the Stereophile review of the Sabrina was a Mac 275. The reviewer first used the 4 ohm tap and thought it sounded fine. Wilson's Peter McGrath mentioned that Audio Research amps sounded best from the 8 ohm tap. The... | |
| Audio research m300 The LS15 has a skeletal sound and no bottom end either. You need to hear a better sounding preamp. The VAC line of preamps will make you say wow! | |
| Does the ceiling fan affect the sound? I don't notice a difference with the fan running. It is a five blade fan and when it is off I prefer the odd blade pointing forward. I prefer the symmetry and psychologically think it sounds better that way. | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS My BAT amp came with Littelfuse's for the output protection circuit. After a tube failed and blew the fuse, I replaced the tube and installed a new fuse from Radio Shack. The channels did not sound the same. I tried 2 other fuse brands and was ... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Klipsch La Scala's should do the trick with all the power you have with the v12 amp. | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? The answer is no related to your specific complaint. The input sensitivity of your current amp is 1.9V required to drive at full power. The Krell KSA 250 requires even more voltage at 2.3V for full output. One of my amps is a VAC Pa100 which on... | |
| Sub box. Placed in cabinet I have a small sub, 8 inch driver sealed box alignment, forward firing, placed in a cabinet in my secondary system. I found it beneficial to provide a slot vent to the rear of the cabinet to even out the response. It is placed on the cabinet, no... | |
| Searching for LONG / NARROW players Maybe check out the Woo Audio CD transport. It is 9 inches wide. Wooaudio.com | |
| Footers under big heavy speakers (Stillpoints Ultra 5, Sistrum rack, Finite Elements,..?) How about a Townshend Audio Seismic Podium? You might be able to have custom built from the UK. Not cheap, but may be the best solution. | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? Speaker level is the way to go. I use a pair of Gallo TR1D subs approx. 600.00 ea in my winter system. I run my main speakers full range and tap the signal from the speakers to the subs and use the built in crossover. If you want to limit the powe... | |
| Chord Hugo ? I have had the Hugo for over a year now. The Hugo sound to my ear is neutral. There is no excess warmth, no brightness, detail presentation is unforced, and the ambience does not possess any hint of digital glare. The Hugo is dynamic and the sound... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series I love the looks as well. The implementation of the bass drivers clear of the cabinet plus the taper at the cabinet front edge is certainly different. The aluminum spine follows some other manufacturers like Sonus Faber but makes sense for structu... | |
| Speakers or Amp A step to separates might help. However, judging from your photos I question your application for the GIK panels. It appears you have a total of 6 panels, 2 on each wall and two on the ceiling that are tightly spaced together. I suggest a looser s... |
