| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Don DCCA - Doh! Sorry for the wrong name. Thank you for correctly describing the gear you used. For everyone else, after re-reading my original thread above, I feel I need to clarify. When I stated, "... but his (supposed) results were hard to dis... | |
| Best place to put a single subwoofer? Oops! Forgot the first step before moving it around: adjust its phase to match the mains first. Final position then adjust the volume and cross-over to best integrate with your mains. You may still need to adjust the phase again. | |
| Best place to put a single subwoofer? Were I placing only one I would start out near middle of the room (though not exact, but off by a foot ot two) near against a side wall. Then take measurements at the seat, moving the sub up/down the wall length up to a few feet one way and the ot... | |
| Basic Question fAbout a Preamp for Monoblock Amps Good to have two pairs of outputs: one pair for your speakers and one pair in case you end up with separate subwoofer(s). Even if today you don't have/think you'll need subs, at some point you might. Then you'll wish you had them. | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? Soundsmith's Mr. Ledermann impressed the heck out of me and deserves kudos. I stopped in his room out of curiosity even though I do not have a TT and will likely not be getting one in the near future (unless I hit the lotto, 'cause none of my rela... | |

| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? From my experience: metal dome tweeters, too much speaker toe-in, poorly engineered ICs and/or connectors, and too thin SCs. | |
| solid state amp for merlin tsm's ? I heard a pair of the TSMs (not very latest version, but just one previous) at AXPONA driven by ?? (sorry, I forget) nothing fancy and they sounded awesome! DCCA cable company had the room. Contact DCCA and speak with the designer/engineer/builder... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables DCCA - 5" copper foil!! | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? +2 for Soundsmith. Biggest sounding small speakers I've ever heard, real sweet sound too. | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? Anyone hear the little Napa Acoustics system (CDP, integrated, small bookshelf speakers)? I meant to check it out but ran out of time. | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Just back from AXPONA in Atlanta. In the DCCA room they had Merlin TSMs set up with B&K Pre and an SS amp that I am sorry to say I do not recall. BUT, the sound was glorious and spooky good. Palpable, organic, deep and wide soundstage, clear, ... |
