| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? One of the smaller Martin Logans will get you there. | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy I'm too lazy to type the whole path of isolating 60hz hum, but if that hum is "ear to the speaker", quit doing that. | |
| How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer? Zero. Use the cable you need. it doesn't matter where it comes from. | |
| A better SMP for my cable box. TV picture quality is a big issue. I have Directv and most of the signals now are 720 and a few shows at 1080, if you want 4K you pay extra and there are just a few channels in that resolution. | |
| whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A Depends on, what kind of sound do you want and what loudspeakers you are driving. Can you help us out with that info? A budget would also help. | |
| who in SoCal does Av Receiver and Amp upgrades? Depending on which Marantz receiver, it might not be worth it to pay to upgrade your amps. The cost may well exceed value of trading up to better stuff. | |
| Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy? 452 looks good but I've heard it many times and just not musical IMHO.

| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? ...utilizing the front wall is not an option due to the layout of my apartment... ARC D400MKII amp, Levinson 380s Pre You need to change at least two of these things, otherwise you'll have no luck. | |
| Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy? The NAD is GTG. | |

| How long ago did you catch the bug? Around 1965, Dad had a Bogan tube mono amp, a 45 player, and a really large (3X3X5 feet) coaxial speaker enclosure he made. Pretty much state of the art in the early sixties. It didn’t have a speaker grill at first so the cat would just walk in th... | |
| Eq for Bose 901 BTW, I owned Series I and Series V. The Series I were the best but needed big power. But a heads-up: They are not that good and my 500-dollar pair was replaced by a 139-dollar Infinity and that was a big step up. | |
| Eq for Bose 901 I don't see why not if using the proper tools. |
