| Amplifiers without the UL mark or CE mark This will not answer your question. UL, CE, and CSA are all a sign that a particular level of safety has been done. However, UL is very expensive for a small manufacturer. Building a unit that would meet UL specifications is not difficult, but hav... | |
| Help - How important is the center channel Amp? How many people for the theater? If it's one or two, I would recommend you do a phantom center and spend more money on the 2 channel amp. My personal reference system is using phantom center and I own the expensive well matched center and amplific... | |
| Wireless headphones for my Ipod I use an ipod in the gym and airplane, so the wires are less of an issue for me. Wireless would be slightly better in the gym--but not a huge benefit. I'll look forward to the 50 mile update. | |
| Wireless headphones for my Ipod I found 2 but own 0. Here's a review to one:on AudioholicsThe other was the logitech. Reported to be heavy and uncomfortable. Which ones did you get? They sound less than ideal if you want decent sound. I'll be curious what your findings are. | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy We had the monitor, everything read out perfectly. We did not call Velodyne, as we believed that the unit was designed to only function to crossover from 40 Hz on up (I did not check the high point as it was not relevant to what we wered doing). M... | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy Just to clarify the crossover point read 40 Hz. It would not go below this. It would go above obviously, but could not get it to go below that. The measurements confirmed that this was approximately the crossover point. It seems we had a very stra... | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy Neil:We used the internal software and it would not go below 40 Hz. It was a DD-15. I read the manual and the owner also tried everything and 40 Hz was the lowest point. Had I been able to set it around 25 to 28 Hz it probably would have worked, b... | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy I can tell you the Velodyne will not work terribly well. I worked at a client's trying to get that sub to integrate to WP 7s and could not. The issue was the crossover's lowest point was 40 Hz. The WP-7 were solid down below 30 Hz. I really needed... | |
| Rives Audio purchases Talon Loudspeaker Co. Thank you Albert (and Lloyd indirectly). There are a number of things in development and the concept of a large reference speaker is being considered. However, at the moment we have some fundamental things to deal with right now. Most importantly ... | |
| Rives Audio purchases Talon Loudspeaker Co. Thank you for your kind words. I agree that Talon is an outstanding product, it just didn't have what it needed behind it in terms of business. We are very fortunate to bring this level of engineering and design to market.As to taking long to get ... | |
| Soundproofing Doors at Home Depot Here are some suggestions in the order of being effective (and most likely the most costly first)1. Change the door and frame to an outside door with a wooden threshold and insure there is good weather stripping.2. Change the door to solid core, w... | |
| Rives Audio purchases Talon Loudspeaker Co. The current product listing is on the website at www.talonspeakers.com. We are developing some new products currently. We are also trying to find out from users, such as yourself, if there is a demand for crossover upgrades. The one that seems to ... | |
| Rives Audio purchases Talon Loudspeaker Co. Cardani: I think you meant Talon rather than Tyler. I own Talon Hawks in for my office and a Talon Thunderbird subwoofer is in the reference system. I do need to reference that in my system. I've owned those for quite some time, long before this t... | |
| Let's build a subwoofer interconnect Why not just buy Bettercables for that application? It uses the bullet termination and is 5 nines copper with teflon dielectric. They make one specific for subs. It's a no-frills kind of company. Good quality, good pricing. It's not the end all in... | |
| Genelec Speakers opinions Brutally revealing asn Shadrne alluded to. These came from the pro world as top shelf studio monitors. They are not going to flatter the music or mix in any way--you get the truth. For great recordings and great gear upstream--I would love them. A... |
