| Sound isolation for HT/2 channel The article points out one of the really big caveats of sound isolation. Namely that sound is largely transmitted through structure. Thus isolating the wall without dealing with the floor, ceiling, etc may be relatively useless. It really depends ... | |
| Sound isolation for HT/2 channel If you go to our resource page and look in the right column there's an article on sound isolation. Hopefully it will be helpful in answering your question. | |
| How do I build the best room The room is a little on the smaller side for the 20.1, but we did (successfully) put a pair in a 13.5 x 18 x 7.75 room. The planars don't have a lot of energy dispersed towards the ceiling and they don't have a lot of bass, so they can actually wo... | |
| Room Correction Systems and Electrostatics? As has been stated--no EQ is the best EQ if you can get away with it. However, problems in the bass sometimes require large, heavy and expensive devices to deal with the bass problems. Sometimes, there is no passive solution for the bass at any ex... | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? Funny story about Boston's album. Has anyone heard of Babo's in NYC? It's Mario Brutali (I'm sure I butchered the spelling there) signature restaurant. I'm not even sure you can call what they serve food--it's something in a different category alt... | |
| Picture discs - Collectors items? My favorite was Michael Jackson's Thriller PD. This was back when he had a big nose. Can't hardly see the resemblence to him now--surely that's got be worth something. | |
| Which external cross-over x-over to consider? The Marchand products are great. Their cosmetics are not so great, but the circuit design is straight forward and works very well.We manufacture a [http://www.rivesaudio.com/PARC/PARCframe-sub.html]sub-PARC[/url], which is a sub crossover AND ampl... | |
| Music for the gym If you are using an iPod (who isn't these days it seems) there is a free subscription called pod runner. Most tracks are about 1 hour mixes of techno dance style. Each is mixed at a specific BPM. Highly compressed (so don't expect much in the way ... | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? The speakers and the room essentially form an acoustical circuit. Approximately 50% of the sound we hear is indirect--bouncing off other surfaces or pressurizing due to room boundaries. Their interaction is huge. Have you ever heard a speaker that... | |
| American made Subwoofer Talon ROC, it's $3500 and made in Utah. | |
| Software for XP to Capture Vinyl USB/Line Level This may be a possibility:CFB software | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Raul:You are right about Ohm's law, but you probably know very little about Talon speakers impedance curve. They are about the flatest in the industry which makes them so easy to drive by many tube amplifiers. The max impedance is around 14 Ohms a... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors I have both Levinson Ref 20 and VAC 160 musicblocs. With the Hawks there is no comparison--the Musicbloc is awesome. I'm also using a Navison 572 monoblocks with an older pair of Hawks. These amps have little bass, which is fine with me and would ... | |
| Amplifiers for Talon Hawk monitors Stands make a huge difference. Why that stand with that speaker--I don't know, but we did make some changes to the Hawks so that the new ones are threaded and can be bolted to the new stand. This does improve the sound, but also makes it less like... | |
| Digital crossovers? No, it wasn't DEQX. This was more or less home brewed off a PC. The PC had the crossover and all curves (which could be manipulated by the user) built in. It did correction for driver problems as well as room. I think the entire system probably co... |
