| Bigger drivers = bigger soundstage "...The larger driver speakers do not image as well..."Your post obfuscates at minimum. We have no clue unless you tell what you are running. | |
| How are speakers improved? You lost me at bookshelf speaker. | |
| Whatever happened to . . . (Audio Reviewers) Tom Gillet retired. | |
| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner "... Russ, I’m not sure what a 10db pad is or where I can get one. Can you steer me? ..."Not sure what connectors you have but here's one:https://smile.amazon.com/BNC-J-K-Coaxial-Attenuator-6-0GHz-1-40db/dp/B07JX8DHYK/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection My recollection from back in the day is that OHM-Fs did not have shimmering highs, nor could really loud sound levels be played without some loss of control. What they offered was room filling sound and a good soundstage at moderate volumes. IIRC ... | |
| Do I need pre-amp? Upgrade amp or buy pre-amp? Audionote system A quality pre-amp will make a difference. If you are happy with your amp, keep it. I'm not a flea power guy and I don't know what loudspeakers you are running so I can't say if a new amp is needed. | |
| Do I need pre-amp? Upgrade amp or buy pre-amp? Audionote system The volume control on your amp is a gain control for a good pre-amp match. My experience is that most amps sound better if you use a pre-amp. It is said that the pre-amp is the heart of a hi-fi system and I subscribe to that. | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. "...Your Maggies and Martin Logan’s may not work as noted, that article was not targeting this type of speaker. However your Triangles, with the proper acoustic treatment would. Just because a speakers name is Triangle does not change the physics ... | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) "...Sanders set up their ESL's at shows diagonally..."And well out from any walls. They had the best sound at The Show. | |
| My left speaker emits a slight soft static high pitched noise See this thread.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/living-with-unsolvable-hum-any-audio-detectives-out-there | |
| AUDIOPHILE OR JUST CRAZY ? It's all about building a system to satisfy yourself and it sounds like you are doing that. Good job. | |
| Audio Research or Conrad Johnson Phono Pre "...The newest stuff is absolutely neutral, gone are the days of tubey warm, mushy bass etc..."It's been a while since I owned any C-J gear. Even back a decade as you moved up the line the gear seemed to get more neutral. | |
| Cautionary Tale Not sure what price range has your panties in a knot but the fact that top end gear costs a bunch of money is not an issue. Good serviceable gear is available at very modest prices. In fact this may be a great time to buy gear at reasonable prices... | |
| Perfect Speaker Placement - Put next to the back wall as much as possible. "...May I suggest reading the articles the op has posted then. That will tell you how to do it..."I did read it, sorry but my Triangles, Martin-Logans, and Maggies don’t work if they are against the front wall. "...Okay, we are already 11 feet to ... | |
| Martin Logan Descent makes “gyroscopic” sound You are GTG. |
