| Anyone ever try to toe-out? You have other issues going on, not quite what to say that we didn't say in the other thread. | |
| Does my power of receiver match the power of the speaker needed? More power is always better than not enough power. But max power handling is a spec that isn't very useful to home audio. You don't ever want to run at the limit. | |
| 4 speakers/two channel Back in the quad days, we decided that using 4 average sounding loudspeakers was not as good as using 2 very good loudspeakers and the total cost was the same. I understand the room filling phenomena of using rear speakers but it doesn't last long... | |
| Emotiva XPR-5 Repair We all like to think that manufacturers should support their products forever but it's not a cost effective preposition. It's not cost effective for the manufacturer or the consumer. After a few years even the manufacturer may not have access to t... | |
| Difference between amps "...Only one spec matters: speaker sensitivity..."I know you have posted this over and over but why limit yourself? Sure efficient loudspeakers make it easy to buy amplifiers, but that eliminates a lot of VERY good top end loudspeakers. I'm not wi... | |
| Subwoofer for nearfield Omega Compact Alnico Monitors setup FYI: With a 20Hz wavelength of 60 feet, I would say subwoofers are always in the near field. | |
| A question to the Sound Engineers out there "...- do Sound engineers listen to the finished master on a TOTL hi-fi system having a more "normal configuration" i.e. like many of us have in our houses, to ensure their end product will sound just as they want it?..."Short answer: Some do but ... | |
| Tube Preamp to go with Bryston SST2 amp and Magnepan 1.7i speakers With a Bryston amp and 1.7 Maggies I'm thinking about a good tube pre-amp with a good top end. 2 or 3 K is not much budget. I think I would try to demo some at home before I pulled the plug but the Quicksilver is a good starting place or perhaps a... | |
| Difference between amps "...In 1968 Sansui was in the top high end and in the mass market of top high end..."Not sure if that was ever true. The Sansui AU 7700 could never drive the hi-end loudspeakers of the day like the hi-end Infinities. | |
| Difference between amps "...I can site one difference. In multi-channel Marantz amps, the specs never state "all channels driven". They are notorious for misleading the consumer with their power output ratings..."Mass consumer products are made for the mass consumer, n... | |
| MF A308 vs newer integrateds I think at your current situation you would want to go to separate components to reach the next level. I could be wrong, I have never shopped for an integrated in a class that is better than an A300. | |
| Uneven soundstage help, please. "...I have no choice about speaker placement..."That might limit your available choices for best sound. For a hearing loss, there are things you can do. I have a single sided hearing loss. So I slide over to hindered side and turn my good ear towa... | |
| Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality? A pin hole? If it is truly a pin hole, I'd leave it. | |

| Preamp choices:Short list Can I ask why you want balanced interconnects/gear? |
