| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Interesting...I'm considering MBL 101E speakers, but I'm hesitant due to them being hard to try. | |
| Subwoofer Choice I submit the room and what speakers you have are just important as the subwoofer manufacturer. That being said, I prefer REL Reference subwoofers. I've found that sealed subwoofers work better in my room. REL reference subwoofers are the only subw... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? "The only Sub to buy is REL." Some people don't prefer REL subwoofers and that's okay; therefore it isn't logical to suggest REL is the only subwoofer to purchase. I own REL subwoofers, but I don't like all of their models. | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? I sent a PM, because I don’t feel like engaging in the silliness that often happens on Audiogon. Again, based on my experience of owning both JL Audio and REL subwoofers, I don’t agree with your statement that, "JL subs are, in large part, superio... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? "Differential amps must float ground." That statement isn't true. I floated the ground when I had a JR 625 S2 with REL subs. I talked directly to Mr. Rowland and he said, I could ground the sub to the chassis or send it to him and he would add a ... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? "Solid State fully differential amps can NOT be used speaker level with REL subs." I believe my Rowland 735 amplifiers are fully differential amps and I have used three different REL subs with my Rowland amps and they didn’t damage my 625 S2 or 73... | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? I’ve owned Martin Logan, HSU, SVS SB15 and SB16, JL Audio F110s with the CR1, JL Audio F112s, REL Carbons, and REL G1 mkII, I currently use REL No. 32s. Which one works best for you depends on your room, system, and your preferences. | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? I just decided to add HT to my 2-channel again. I purchased a Marantz Cinema 50 AVR to drive my center and rears. I use my Corus's HT bypass to allow my amps to drive my front speakers. So far, it'd been a disaster with ground loop noise that I ha... | |
| Lone Star Audio Fest 2023 I wish the Dallas Audio Show was bigger and wonder why it isn't? | |
| Jeff Rowland Model One and Five I've owned several Jeff Rowland components and currently have 735 mono-amps and Corus preamp. Call him and he will answer all of your questions. He provides outstanding customer support. | |
| REL Carbon Special Subwoofers or the REL G1 Gibraltar Reference Subwoo It's hard without knowing your room's dimensions, but here's my opinion based on your speakers. I would get dual REL No. 31 or No. 32 subwoofers. I owned Carbon Specials, but the passive radiator drove me crazy. I also owned REL G1 mkIIs and now R... | |
| All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?! I have Monitor Audio speakers. Although I don't like the looks of the Concept 50s, I would love to hear them. | |
| UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I had a home audition of one of the companies speaker cables that uses rectangular copper. The company has been mentioned in this thread. I didn't like it in my system...they weren't as dimensiona... | |
| New FARAD Level 2 Silver Mod for Chord DAVE! brandonhifi, "I chose the FARAD silver level 2 upgrade over the Sean Jacobs DC4 Arc 6 because it’s 6k cheaper." This hobby is so funny. Sean Jacobs makes two power supplies for the Dave, one at $7K and the other is $10K. Depending on the power co... | |
| REL Carbon Special in the house! " I don't think I'll ever own subs again for 2-channel." I'm glad I said, "I don't think", because I purchase dual REL No. 32s a couple of weeks ago. Never say never in audio :). |
