| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Martin Logan at Best Buy? Are you sure? This must have something to do with the new owner. | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Tvad,"Having this commonality is helpful, but we should be careful of projecting our preferences onto others, and to further assuming our preferences are correct while the preferences of others are flawed." And how is that any different than you t... | |
| Using different gauge wire for biwiring I personally would not use different gauge wire on a 2 way because you are making the wire change in a critical area of the music. I have found some speakers that offer separate posts for bi-wiring actually sound more coherent with single wire. If... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Juan, I agree with you. I have also been to many so called audiophile homes who's system sounded like anything but music and extremely thin. I call it the "weenie" sound because the system sounds small and light weight all in an effort to extract ... | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? I used to prefer grills off, now I prefer grills on. I don't think the speakers have changed, it's my taste that has changed. I also like simpler music. I am more interested in precise notes than how many notes can be played. I want the speaker to... | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? Without Raul there can be no experience or insight. | |
| I need some amplifier help Yep, having more power than a speaker is rated for is never a problem, unless you are unnecessarily complicating the system and you have two different amplifiers with different input sensitivity. | |
| Best speaker cables for longer runs If you have to use a long run you should use an efficient cable. Cardas has 3 grades of SE cables which are very efficient. They are designed to get the best power transfer from single ended amplifiers. I have a friend using long runs of Ocos with... | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? Roy, Do foam grills have the same or similar affects as the cloth grills? | |
| I need some amplifier help First of all the two amplifiers are not identical and should not be used to drive separate channels. The 555II actually has slightly higher gain than the 555. If I remember right the Adcom GFA-555 is rated at 200 wpc. The B&W DM 640s are rated... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Unsound, You're a funny guy. Did it appear that way? Sorry about that. I was posting a response to your last post. I am trying to say I am not picking on Vandersteen in any way since I also agree some Vandersteen models are a terrific bargain and ... | |
| Speaker refinish I owned Living Voice speakers in natural maple that darken except for the area behind the grill. When I removed the grill cloth a line was visible and the area behind the grill was much lighter, so I left the grills off until the light area darken... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 "most people would not consider this type of use as abuse." I agree with you and I happen to like Vandersteen speakers. I have fond memories of great sounds with Vandersteens, but they do have their limitations. | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Unsound, This is not like over driving an electrostatic speaker and most people would not consider this type of use as abuse. As always, don't take my word for it. Call Vandersteen Audio and ask if this problem has been resolved. | |
| Subwoofers - Grille off or on? I used to think speakers sounded better with the grills off, but I've changed my ways. Now I like the sound better with grills on, but I find it hard to believe it would make a difference on a subwoofer. |
