| How can multiple woofers generate lower frequency? There are several factors at work here. Bigger cabinet size results in deeper bass. Something else to consider is that the electrical characteristics of the driver change as more power is applied. By sharing the load with multiple drivers, less he... | |
| The AC fuse keeps blowing on my amp. Help In this case, the simplest idea may be the best. That is, call up Cary and talk to them. While there are misprints in manuals, finding out what works best is a phone call away. For that matter, i'm sure that Cary would have repaired your unit and ... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs. B&K ST202 or 2140 The McCormack will do much better with a low impedance reactive speaker like an ML. B&K's typically work best with relatively benign, high impedance loads. Sean> | |
| Opinions about modifying an older preamp Most anything can be improved by replacing capacitors, diodes, wiring, adding additional circuitry & deleting unnecessary parts, etc... BUT one is always best off starting with something that they consider to be a good product as it is. While ... | |
| Has anyone heard of Vanco speaker cable? Vanco is basically a marketer of products that they buy overseas and import into the USA. Mostly odds and ends in the electronics / audio / communications field. They have been around for a LONG time. Depending on who gives them the best price, th... | |
| Subwoofers, and standing waves... I don't doubt your results at all. The problem is that most people buying subs simply want to tuck them in a corner or somewhere else out of the way and forget about them. As such, the manuals typically state something to the effect of "experiment... | |
| Found Monster cables inside my Watt Puppy 5.1's I've seen yellow Monster cabling inside of more than a few amps. It is probably a cable that they market to OEM's ( Original Equipment Manufacturer's ) and is sold at a discount price in bulk. As Twl mentions, the speakers were probably voiced wit... | |
| Moving to Horn speakers Twl: Your first post regarding Lowther's claim made no mention of "full range" drivers. As such, my response was based on that info. I don't know what is out there in terms of "wide bandwidth" drivers, but there are surely many, many drivers that ... | |
| Bass management problems anyone? Try contacting Anthem about this and see what they have to say. Maybe they aren't aware of such problems and this thread may provide some feedback from others that share your thoughts / experiences. Sean> | |
| upgrade transport or amps..advice please I'll pitch the third strike against the Marantz. Sean> | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. For those contemplating such devices, take a look at the "non-linear absorption characteristics" that such devices introduce into your listening room. While most people install these thinking that they are going to help the sonics out, all they do... | |
| Need Advise Wow, that's a long time Smokester. It's amazing how one package can make it almost like it was flown in and hand delivered by a courier and other packages seem to be strapped to a turtle and pointed in the wrong direction. I once had a package shi... | |
| PS Audio Power Pant vs Shunyata Hydra conditioner Psychic: Because if it doesn't cost a lot, offer brand name recognition and appear to be based on pseudo-scientific babble with a bit of "unexplainable magic" thrown in, it surely can't be as good as something that costs less and uses a common sen... | |
| Is a cable cooker worth it? Drubin: What "cable burner" and cable did you have this experience with ? I'm curious about this as it is not the first time that i've heard of such a situation. I'd like to see if your observations are the same as some of the others that have rel... | |
| Moving to Horn speakers Part of the problem with these is probably due to their limited X max ( excursion ). Then again, drivers with a longer X max will also typically be of higher mass, hurting their high frequency extension and transient response.As far as Lowther cla... |
