Perreaux P250 Problem
Bob, was that your "lightning rod" amplifier ??? Sean> 
Why bi-wiring is bad
I think that bi-wiring can allow one to tailor the sound to their liking via selecting different cables for top and bottom. It may also reduce series resistance, which is never a bad thing.I also think that using different cables can introduce tim... 
Amps Used With Infinity Rs1..Successfully or....
Skull: I am curious as to how you ended up recommending a Sunfire amp for the bottom end ? Do you think that the Sunfire has "good" bass overall or is it just one of those specific combo's ( Sunfire / Infinity ) that "creates magic" ??? Sean> 
Is there an easy to use vcr?
Bob, my partner at work ( Dan ) also has an S-VHS machine. From what i can recall, he's pretty happy with his. I'll try to find out the specifics and let you know. As far as the JVC goes, not only is the programming less than fun and the manual no... 
Bright room, help
That is a good point Natalie. While sparsely furnished rooms with highly reflective acoustics can play havoc with what we hear, treating a room of this nature would only help to band-aid or cover up what might be a system that suffered from severe... 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
Fbi: Hhang onto your hat. From what i hear through the grapevine, such a "feature" might not be that far down the road. The folks at A-gon have got some really "groovy" tricks up their sleeves from what i've been told. Marakanetz: I have very limi... 
Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe
I agree with Mr Yates and am a BIG "fan" of Nelson's power amps. However, i am not "brainwashed" into thinking that there are other designs that aren't just as good or even better for specific situations. As mentioned above, the Gamut seems to be ... 
What amp is best?
Owning four different Sunfire amps and five different Nelson Pass built / designed amps, i would not consider the Sunfire to be in the same league. Mind you, the Sunfire's do have their strengths and can hold their own quite well ( especially if p... 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
Marakanetz: Since music is typically comprised of multiple instruments being played at the same time, the signal produced can be extremely wide in terms of frequency response at any given moment. All of these notes / instruments can be played simu... 
Quirky Krell
I've read more than a few posts regarding various Krell Pre / Pro's "going haywire" over on AA. My local Krell dealer ( well, they used to be a Krell dealer until territory disputes came up ) had told me that they had problems with their Pre / Pro... 
Bright room, help
You should be glad that your room is "bright" and not "dead". It is far easier to absorb high frequencies using simplistic tools and materials than it is to try to make up for them. Check out the various room treatment products from RPG, Sonex, et... 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
My point was that Ohm's law ( used in a generic manner ) is applicable at very specific points. Obviously, one can measure and calculate what is taking place electrically at any given point in the operating curve and break it down mathematically. ... 
Is there an easy to use vcr?
Brian: I'm capable of making the same mistakes that anyone else can. I rushed into purchasing this unit and now i feel the pain from my lack of research. As such, i'll chalk this one up to being a bonehead and move forward with ( hopefully ) a les... 
What does Current mean in a power amp???
Ohm's law has nothing to do with whether or not an amplifier can drive a speaker. While an amp may be able to sustain high power levels into low impedances, that tells you nothing about how well it deals with various amounts and types of reactance... 
Is there an easy to use vcr?
I have a JVC Super VHS that i would not recommend to anyone. It is hard to program and the manual sucks. Experiences like the one that i had with this device have shown me that writing a manual that is both informative and easy to follow is truly ...
