| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment @feeney The gear you got is great for someone that is into vintage gear and can repair and test the gear to make sure it is working optimally. For a fellow like you, it might be more reasonable to sell the gear, as is, to people that are into vi... | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? I’ll never have speakers bigger than the LRS’s. Are you able to pull them at least 5 feet into the room? 5 or 6 feet is near optimum. | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? From what I understand the nominal watts rating is less important.... All I can say is that my .7s and MMGs can eat up my Parasound A21 pretty fast. It puts out a strong 250 wpc. John Atkinson has measured the XA25's output at 80 wpc, which ca... | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? Sorry but 25 wpc is not enough for the LRS. Unless you play at VERY low levels. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach I never had this issue. I think something is wrong with your Rotel. Could be just a dirty volume/balance knob. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! 3.7s have a tweeter to die for. It's a big panel and can push some air. Sub or no sub they sound great. | |
| Bass/speaker excursion issues Have you used an equalizer program or room correction? | |
| Noise inside speaker cabinet when moving ? The crossover might have come loose. Best practice would be to take a look and hot glue it back in place if it is not secure. | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? I can take a swag at it. A good $12,000 loudspeaker system, a good integrated and decent music player will get you pretty far down the road. Perfect placement, a good room, and picking the right gear, is a darn good start. So just under 20K. | |
| Patio tunes Get a bluetooth speaker. Marshal has one that sounds good. | |
| The problem with PLC @kenjit If a really good loudspeaker were to be produced, it would sell like crazy. Price is irreverent, performance is everything. Judging from my experience with bargain priced loudspeakers, I think it could happen, but who is going to buy a 50... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass I have not checked to see if the bananas were pushed too far in. Do you also have 3.5r speakers The connectors can contact the circuit sometimes and do exactly what you are describing. I have not owned 3.5s but I helped my brother set up his ... | |
| Magnepan 3.5r Owners needed.... No bass @jsbelieve You got my head scratching. Let me just go down the list. Are you in the same room? Did you move anything? Did it happen over time or suddenly? Did you try a different bass amp? And I always suggest checking to make sure your bananas a... | |
| Used vs. new I've and about 50% good luck buying used loudspeakers. If it's a system you are going to keep for a long time, buy a fresh pair. | |
