What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @nyev I have a QB8 and my amp is plugged into it. I haven’t noticed any negatives from doing it this way. Good luck! Ron | |
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig @2psyop Yes they are. Avior ii and they are spectacular. The Boulder 866 is a great match as well. I look forward to every listening session | |
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig I was really sweating the room early on before the speakers were broken in. It didn’t really sound that good. It’s amazing how much better the room sounds now with the speakers settled in. | |
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig @baylinor There is rockwool in between all the studs. I have 1/4 inch pegboard screwed and glued right to the studs all sides. The two walls behind the speakers that is all there is with fabric over the pegboard. The 3 walls opposite the speaker... | |
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig @baylinor i agree that anything behind drywall wouldn’t work very well. Having a smallish room I did end up killing 2 birds with one stone. I had an acoustician design the room and I built it while the speakers were being built. I have no drywal... | |
Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig @baylinor A fantastic system indeed. I was just curious if you had considered building absorption right into the walls and ceiling to eliminate the need for bass and first reflection traps. Regards Ron | |
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? +2disc!!! The 866 is superb! | |
Audioquest Storm Series power cables I would say that if any improvement can be made the last 6 feet is where to try it. Anything before the panel is irrelevant. | |
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? @cakeaudio Which one do you like more? | |
Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k +1 Focal used Kanta 2 possibly in your budget. Good luck ! | |
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Rockport Avior ii. 46 inches tall 220 lbs each | |
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room? @g_nakamoto Let’s see some pics! I’ll bet it looks awesome! | |
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria @onehorsepony We have Kanta 3s in our family room. They are not too bright. I suspect it is your room that needs some work to dial them in. The Sopras are really nice too. They also look way better than the Kantas IMO. Good luck ! Ron | |
How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers @james633 You are correct. I probably wouldn’t want them next to my Rockports. Would like to at least hear them though. Regards Ron | |
Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cables @nyev My apologies if I gave the impression of having the Odin level PC. I unfortunately can’t afford that level of cabling. I’m only at the Heimdall level with everything which still sounds great but I would love to be able to move up. I have e... |
