| New preamp or other suggestions? Stevecham: That's a good point. I had forgotten that the person that contacted me had also taken steps to improve their AC just previous to installing the Goertz. Judging by the comments, i think that they were more impressed with the Goertz than ... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. El: are you trying to pass off that opinion as fact or is that fact your opinion ? Either way, you're wrong and i can prove it : ) Sean> | |
| Cross over frequency ??? Kg: If you cross your monitors over at 80 Hz @ 24 dB's, that means that the signal is down -24 dB's at 40 Hz, -12 dB's at 60 Hz, -6 dB's at 70 Hz and "flat" at 80 Hz. At the same time, your sub is running at full output at 70 - 80 Hz, so the monit... | |
| Best Isolation Devices? You'll never be able to fully isolate a component that is in the same room as the speaker system. Nor will you ever be able to transfer all of the energy that the device generates or picks up to another device. Some energy will remain with that co... | |
| Can any multi-channel amp be bridged? You would be better off bi-amping then bridging. Just make sure that your speakers don't have a common connection in the crossover network. Just because you remove the "jumpers" that connect the tweeters and woofers on the outside of the box doesn... | |
| New preamp or other suggestions? Another Agon'er that is using Thiel's recently contacted me. He was experiencing the same problems that you are i.e. lack of warmth & body and a bright and hard high end. He was using some very expensive speaker cables of good reputation that ... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Pbb: I've always tried to combine "science" and "instinct" when working with audio. The problem here is that science doesn't know how to explain everything, so we are left to fall back on instinct in many cases. In doing so, i think that we are be... | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs Duane: Thanks for the Buckethead recommendation. As to my comment about "best rock guitarist", i didn't mean to sound like there weren't any others out there that were worth listening to. There are oodles of talented people out there pouring their... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. El: I agree that we need to have some type of "guidelines" regarding SPL's on this forum for general reference. As mentioned above, you really have to measure spl's at the seated listening position with "C" weighting. Measuring SPL's in any other ... | |
| My M20s were humbled Calanctus: I agree with your comments. Then again, if one is using a monitor or smaller speaker on a stand without additional bass reinforcement, that in itself is more of a sacrifice to me. After all, you can't have efficiency, extension and spl ... | |
| My M20s were humbled Other than reduced baffle area, what advantage does using a smaller stand mounted speaker give you over a larger floor stander with greater bass potential ? If they both take up the same appr amount of floor space and the monitor and stands cost a... | |
| Why is my conrad johnson mf 2500 overheating? With more information provided, it sounds like something is haywire in the speaker system, causing the amp to oscillate, run hotter than normal and blow speaker fuses. If possible, try to simplify the speaker installation as much as possible using... | |
| Wi Fi and Hi Fi I will only add that the first thing that someone should do when running any type of wireless link would be to change the password or access code. Many people leave the password at the factory default, making it VERY easy for others to hack into y... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Errivera: I basically agree with all of your points, but "very high efficiency speakers" aren't necessary here so much as speakers with a more effective radiation pattern. While horns are an obvious candidate for a room this size, i was thinking m... | |
| Technics SHAC-500 questions Thank you very much Kal. Looks like i'll need an outboard crossover for what i want to do with this unit : ( Sean> |
