Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?
Jkw1: This type of speaker will probably work better on the short wall firing into a longer room. Don't know if you can configure them this way or not, but it is food for thought. Then again, this room isn't that much different in lengths and widt... 
Replacing sound proofing in cabniets
I have used it in a few cabinets. In the grander scheme of things, it is just about useless on a well designed cabinet. Other than to help seal any seams / cracks and help keep the cabinet "air-tight" if sealed, the benefits / results are far out-... 
Why all these JC-1's for sale?
Chams: The review samples that BFS used were defective units i.e. had incorrect part values used in a section of the circuitry. Marty continues to refer to his experiences with the JC-1's even though he knows that the units were defective and not ... 
digital cable
110 ohms is the "industry standard" impedance for an XLR connection. 75 ohms is the "industry standard" for a single ended digital connection. If the device has jacks for both XLR and RCA, you can probably use either. How well it works out of eith... 
In what laboratory or think-tank...
Somewhere in the Agon archives Audioengr provided the math to show why this length "could" be superior to shorter lengths. It primarily has to do with vswr / signal reflections / jitter. Sean> 
Noisy cable?
Sounds like you've got a bad solder joint / poor connection in one of the cables. Sean> 
Why all these JC-1's for sale?
Probably several factors involved here.1) Things are tight and it is tax time.2) People that can afford to buy $6K amps often do so i.e. "flavour of the month" club. CES just took place and they saw something else that has their mouth watering.3) ... 
Your thoughts on the DQ-10 vs Vandersteen 2C
Disconnecting the Piezo tweeter on the Dahlquist's goes a LONG way towards taming the high end. Sean> 
Your thoughts on the DQ-10 vs Vandersteen 2C
If you apply high grade parts to the Dahlquist i.e. "upgrade" the passive parts as Vandersteen has done to his speakers over the years, i think that you'll find that the DQ does some things better. Not nearly as much bottom end, but what is there ... 
klipsch speakers,be honest
Joe: If you don't mind me asking, can you tips that you received be found on the web? If so, can you point us t them?Marco: All "classic" Klipsch models need major surgery if you really want to hear what the drivers can do. These are speakers that... 
Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?
How wide are the actual panels on this speaker as measured in inches? Sean>PS... Tim, you'll need a tape measure for this : ) 
Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose
Slappy: Due to the laws of physics, the harder that you drive a speaker, the higher its' cut-off frequency becomes. Given that you're working with a 3.5" woofer in the "mains", how low do you think it will go with one watt fed into it? Now how low... 
Digital harshness or Clipping?
Marco: It is not abnormal for the frequency response of a system ( especially speakers ) to change as volume is varied. As such, you could simply be "highlighting" a flaw in the recording and / or demonstrating system non-linearities. My guess is ... 
Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Slappy: Adam & Dr Drew ??? Sheesh. I'm resigning before we start : ) Cdc: I have a lot of respect for Art Dudley. I just wish that he would stick to audio when writing in audio mags. He's not afraid to share his opinion about gear ( or anythin... 
Tok20000 is going pro
Good luck Keith. I hope that you the grass is as green on that side of the fence as you thought it was before hopping over : )Other than that, the product lines listed are all very good gear. I can see how a system comprised of such gear could sou...
