| Cross over frequency ??? Several factors come into play here.1) What type of speaker are you using for the mains i.e. vented or sealed ? 2) Are you running the mains full range or rolling them off ? If rolling them, are you doing this actively or passively ? 3) How much o... | |
| blowing maggie fuses on Mingus. Warren: The 7 is a "funny" amp. Take a look at the power ratings if you doubt this.Other than that, i've commented on the inability of Bryston's to deal with low impedance loads in the past. When comparing the 7 to other amps of lesser power, Ster... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. Rooze: Sorry if i came across as "dogging" you. Quite honestly, i take for granted that some info should be "common knowledge" when it really isn't. Couple that with a lack of info due to differing ideas as to what is "loud", what is "bass deficie... | |
| Technics SHAC-500 questions Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate the effort and going out of the way to help me out. Sean> | |
| blowing maggie fuses on Mingus. Bryston's aren't good with speakers that are lower in impedance and lack sensitivity. Your speakers deserve better, more suitable amplification. Sean> | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. A) You've got the wrong speakers. Maggies WILL NOT play "loud" if we are speaking the same language. By the way, SPL's should be measured at the seated listening position on an average basis.B) You don't have a suitable amp(s) for your situation, ... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Dawgbyte: I mentioned the Coincident Technology aka Israel Blume's speakers. Glad you liked that website as i'm sure it is loaded with info. Jmcgrogan: Thanks for the reminder. I'm sure that there are other speakers out there that i overlooked. I ... | |
| Technics SHAC-500 questions Thanks for your response Kal. I'll have to dig up a manual.Is there ANY adjustability to the sub crossover if all the channels are set to large ? If you set the rears to "small", at what freq do they start to roll-off ? Hope you don't mind, but yo... | |
| Monster Cable does Power Amps,,,,,,,,,UH OH I wonder if Richard Marsh had anything to do with the design of these ? Given his past affiliation with Monster and their PLC's, who knows ? Sean> | |
| I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening? Fiddler: Did you try cleaning the ground connections / ground rod yet ? I'm curious as to whether this did anything or not.Other than that, it's possible that the fan motor has some type of capacitor or "condensor" that is going bad. These typical... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Other than the AR 9's, 90's, NHT, Vienna Acoustics and Coincident Technologies, i can't really find any other speakers that made use of side firing woofers. I'm not counting Allison's and DCM Time Windows, as the woofers weren't so much "side firi... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... You'll get comb filtering no matter what you do when using multiple driver arrays, but that can minimized by careful design and wiring. I ran across a website that was mentioned on Madisound when doing research on line array's that goes into detai... | |
| CD Source for Adcom Amplification As Brent mentioned above, the GCD-750 is not a bad player and would give you "consistent cosmetics" if that type of thing is important to you. To top it off, this player responds pretty well to modifications. Right off the bat, i would suggest a p... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Lrsky: Your observations pertaining to distortion are right on the money. A large part of the distortions that we hear are THD, which are comprised of higher frequency harmonics of the orignal signal. Facing the drivers away from our ears "dillute... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... The Vienna Acoustics speakers are VERY placement sensitive from what i remember. Can't remember the model that i tinkered with, but it was a big floorstander with woofers on the side. The bass reminded me of Legacy's, which is to say, loose, flabb... |
