Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used?
Aerial model 9's would be great in that room. If you can find them for $4,000 buy them. 
how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room?
Raquel is right on the mark. Yes you would be nuts to put the Revel Salons or any full range speaker in that room without any bass adjustability. Another thing to consider is that you would have to sit in the nearfield. On speakers with that many ... 
Any cables that give more bass
Djtiti, The problem with using a loudspeaker with more bass extention in a room as small as yours is there is no way to control the bass. If you use a subwoofer you can control the level with a knob on the back. You can't do that with a full range... 
Cable tv splitters
Tlg, Cable TV is a very low voltage system. The only way to get a surge big enough to damage equipment thru a cable line is a lightning strike or a downed power line crossing it. Your cable drop is suppost to be grounded at your ground rod before ... 
Tweaks when building a listening room?
Building the room with the ideal dimensions will make the biggest difference. In your case installing a drop ceiling to the right height would be more ideal. Check out this web site http://www.decware.com/paper36.htm for the golden ratios for room... 
Cable tv splitters
Another thing to consider is if you install the amp yourself it is possible to have to high of a signal for the internet modem. This is why doing some of this stuff yourself without the right tools and knowledge can be problemattic. 
Cable tv splitters
Having an amplifier installed only applies if you are in a house. If in an apartment it gets more complicated. Also if you don't own the house you will need written premission from the owner to have an amp installed as it requires drilling holes i... 
Cable tv splitters
Hi, I am a cable technician. Anytime you split the signal with a 2way splitter you lose 3db. Also the signal is not scrambling. The reason your picture was pixelating is from a weak signal from your coax. If your old splitter was not rated at 5-10... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Hi Ralph, So the box resonance is what makes the voltage paradigm work. Without the box the current paradigm is the way to go. So I assume open baffle designs and horn designs would need the current paradigm also if their impedance curve is not fl... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
I found this exerpt from The Complete Guild To High End Audio. "Some amplifiers barely increase their output power when driving 4 ohms; others can double it. This means that not all 100wpc amps are created equal. One 100wpc amplifier might put out... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Hi Ralph, So can efficiency change with frequency? And if it can't how can a transistor amp sound right on a speaker without a flat impedance curve? 
Any cables that give more bass
I would suggest a quality subwoofer. Your speakers only go down to 55 hz. With a powered sub you can taylor the bass the way you like it. For 1k I would look at the SVS or HSU offerings. No cable change will give you what your after. Cables only m... 
Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?
Atmasphere, Thanks for setting me straight. I have no experience with quads and Atmasphere's knowledge is much more complete than mine. So it looks like a tube amp is the best course. I read somewhere that for instance if 100 wpc into 4 ohms produ... 
Which speaker did TAS put in place of Gallo 3
TAS ranted and raved about the ASR Emitter II and now its not on any of there lists. If you like the product thats all that counts. If your equipment must be on their list you are gonna go thru a lot of gear. 
Hissing and Hum through speakers
You might try plugging the whole system into another circuit to see if that changes anything.
