| Need Speaker Set Recommendations for Newbie Per your recommendations, I've researched a bit on the NAD762 and it seems like a very good receiver for the price. Seems to have comparable features to my HK which I like.Any suggestions on where to get the receiver?.. | |
| Need help with Spica TC-50 / Kinergetics setup Seems like the consensus is that with the good imaging Spica's, that a center channel would only make things worse.I posted in my other thread that it seems like just the right sub speakers are having the problem and was wondering if room configur... | |
| What causes clipping? I did some experimenting over the weekend.The Spica's are not full range speakers and if I don't call them "small" speakers on the HK receiver, NO signal will be sent to the subwoofer. Granted that they are physically large speakers, but their ran... | |
| What causes clipping? I think you are right with the room size, although this problem seems more than just a limited bass response. It seems like a bass malfunction or overload at louder volumes. I'm not sure if speakers overload if the room is too small, do they?!Defi... | |
| Need help with Spica TC-50 / Kinergetics setup Thanks for the input. Seems the consensus is that, although a good speaker set for music, the Spica / Kinergetics just aren't for home theater. And that maybe my Kinergetics have a power supply problem on top of everything else.Can anyone suggest ... | |
| What causes clipping? Thanks for the info! This sounds exactly like what's happening to mine.Do you think my power supply is damaged by now or do I just have faulty filters that fail at high loads? For that matter, what are power supply filters and how easy can they be... | |
| Why Kinergetics SW-200 clipping? (This thread is basically duplicate to a more general "clipping" thread I have in "tech talk." I'll go ahead and discontinue this thread and continue the one in tech talk so I'm not being redundnant. I appreciate your ideas, so please continue to ... | |
| What causes clipping? I don't think the driver is blown. It still seems to work fine at moderate volume levels. Just at loud, bassy times (i.e. organ in phantom of the opera or a big movie scene), they start having problems.The fuses that sometimes blow are the ones in... | |
| Why Kinergetics SW-200 clipping? The amp came with the speakers so I'm sure they are matched well. It is an external amp with a built in crossover. I'm using the crossover in my HK because the HK doesn't have pre-amp inputs.The fuses that sometimes blow are the ones inline to the... | |
| What causes clipping? Thanks for the info.Hmmm... if you're correct (which I assume you are), then my amp is actually overloading the speakers themselves. I usually only have the amp at half power or so and can have this problem. Interesting.Does "clipping" ever have a... | |
| What are electrolytic caps? Drying out makes sense, too. Especially over a long time period. What are film capacitors? Are they also hard to find matched pairs? John Bau recommended switch to film caps.Is it worth the effort to try and find someone who can get me a matched p... | |
| Need Speaker Set Recommendations for Newbie Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into the Edgarhorns. I'm not familiar with them.Do you think the amp or the speakers are the problem? Would a better amp help? | |
| Need help with Spica TC-50 / Kinergetics setup I may be a little tight in my current room configuration. The speakers are only about 18" from the back wall and one is that far from a side wall.I remember in my old apartment where they were more in the open and being blown away with the sound s... | |
| What are electrolytic caps? Thanks for the reply! I had no idea that capacitors actually leak over time.It's very hard to tell if the speakers sound any different since I've been listening to them for over 10 years now. They could have slowly been deteriorating over the year... | |
| Why Kinergetics SW-200 clipping? I was reading some other threads on subwoofers. Is it possible that I need a better power supply to the subwoofer?Currently (no pun intended), I have the sub plugged into the switced AC outlet on my HK AVR300 receiver. Maybe this isn't enough powe... |
