| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston There's nothing scary or hard about bi-amping, and the audible benefits are many. I've been actively bi-amping for years(tube top/SS bottom), but it's much easier with two identical amps. Read this: (http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize03... | |
| Room or speaker resonance??? Was there a reference tone at around 1000hz(or there abouts) so you could set your volume control for a 0db reading on your SPL meter? There should have been. Work you way down from there at 1/3 octave intervals for a better idea of your actual ro... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? If you choose to go bi-wire: Use a cable that has two discrete pairs of conductors(full length) or two separate cables. You will gain nothing with regard to sound otherwise. Adding another pair of connectors to a single pair conductor cable is a w... | |
| Maddening HUMMMM Also a "ground loop" will cause hum. Buy an inexpensive gounding plug(adapter) and break off the ground terminal. Plug your power purifier into that(it will float the ground), and see if it helps alleviate the problem. Some equipment reverses AC p... | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination Expand your horizons and look for either WireWorld Eclipse 5 or Kimber BiFocal XL as well. Both wonderfully transparent cables. Happy listening!! | |
| Power Conditioning, Torus, Audience or David Gray? By all means: run the dedicated line(heaviest possible gauge) to your listening room. The Richard Grey products are actual power purifiers and not fancy power strips which can and will cause sonic anomalies. Everyone's AC has noise generated by ev... | |
| Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps This article has info on vertical and active bi-amping: (http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize031998.htm) | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination Dcstep- You're correct: the jumper is just a connection between the high and low frequency sections of the crossover. Here's a short treatise on the subject of bi-wiring(as well as active and vertical bi-amping): ( http://www.soundstage.com/synerg... | |
| Why does it sound better at lower volumes? As Atmasphere and Nickword have stated: Sounds like your room is being over-driven. I treated my back wall with Auralex, and corners with LENYRDs to eliminate the same issue(with marvelous results). I'm lucky to be single in that regard(among othe... | |
| Whats with the Watts ?? What are you thinking about with regard to a preamp? An integrated would simplify the system/eliminate an interconnect. Musical Fidelity and Chord build some excellent units. | |

| Whats with the Watts ?? More info on the Moscode:(http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/606moscode/index2.html) (http://www.avguide.com/products/product-3459/) Download the review on TAS page. If I were to go with a single amp system, I would probably audition this fi... | |
| Whats with the Watts ?? Most SS amps have negligable output impedances, thus relatively high damping factors(Use the shortest cables possible and/or true bi-wire cables). Few will have the midrange liquidity or sound staging of tubes though. I'm using a Hafler TransNova ... | |
| Tuning a back loaded horn Glad to be of service. Happy listening! | |
| Whats with the Watts ?? Good move!! Did they sound equally good on anything you auditioned? Here's a short treatise on damping factor: ( http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/amps/damping_factor.pdf) Some will tell you it's baloney. All I know is the amp I'm using to bi-amp my w... |
