| Replacing a blown woofer. I need help I would recommend using the factory driver for MANY reasons, the first one being that you are not familiar with "tweaking" or "hot rodding" electronics. Try contacting Def Tech and find out if they have any Internet Authorized Dealers. If they do,... | |
| Original Advents and hi-end electronics. I'm sorry if i came across as being critical or jumping on you. Your comments about the Spica's seemed to come out of left field and were not a direct comparison in terms price, size, design or performance. THAT is the point that i was trying to m... | |
| Bass in my room isn't good? Help Just for kicks, turn the crossover on the sub as high in frequency as it goes and then check your readings again. If that doesn't do it, it's time to "bust out with a beard". Quite honestly, your response is NOT bad. You are looking at a baseline ... | |
| Need a quality Y-adapter for bi-amping I second Audiophile9's comments about the tape loop suggestion. Since the tape out is probably at a fixed line level (somewhere between 1 and 3 volts), your amp would most likely be ROARING with no way to control it. The exception to this rule wou... | |
| home theater for 3000 Plasma, thanks for the laughs. While the first one was your reference to "projectile vomit" ( oh, if you could only see the pictures ), the second one is hilarious because it is "universal" and OH SO TRUE : )(When it comes to audio snobbery, I'll ... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Thanks for the kind words folks. While i do appreciate the "roses" ( i'm much more of a gin & tonic or beer man though ), i'm learning just as much from you and your posts. As such, PLEASE continue to share your thoughts and experiences. I wou... | |
| Need some wisdom comparing planars Thanks for the kind words, Tim. I too LOVE the sound of a stand-up bass on omni speakers. While i'm currently not using planars or stat's, i do have speakers that appear to be "boxless" in terms of sonics and imagery. The sound is so "there" and "... | |
| Speakers with Are you saying that slightly elevated output in the lower mid / upper bass ( commonly called the "warmth" region ) added a sense of tempo or pace to your system ? Sean> | |
| Original Advents and hi-end electronics. Lolo, while we basically agreed in what he should expect out of the Advent's, your comparison was not very fair. You chose a speaker that was highly advanced for its' time, uses a smaller baffle for better dispersion, soundstaging and imaging char... | |
| Internet purchase of Big-Screen TV Kevin pretty much summed up my feelings on the subject. Too many variables on a large product that IS "shake, rattle & roll" sensitive. If you DO decide to go that route, find out from the MANUFACTURER's mouth what the warranty is and EXACTLY ... | |
| Original Advents and hi-end electronics. The midrange on these will sound clumsy and slow compared to the quicker and smaller drivered speakers of today. Other than that, i would "toss" some decent wiring into the cabinets and you'll have a very solid speaker for pennies on the dollar. S... | |
| CARA - Room Acoustic Software Psychic, i have worked doing pro sound reinforcement for a living, sold pro sound gear for a living, recorded and produced a few local bands, etc... As such, i would consider myself QUITE familiar with all of the aspects that you have mentioned. I... | |
| Bass in my room isn't good? Help EXCELLENT suggestions !!! I too think that the crossover needs fine tuning as there is not enough "blend" taking place between the two woofers. I would also like to add that the drop at 160 hz could be due to floor bounce from the monitor. I am no... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? I think that E-stat's and horns have a LOT more in common than most people would imagine. They both have specific characteristics though and some of this is where they differ. Getting them to work properly together would be one heckuva good trick.... | |
| Audio Terms Craig did a nice job on that one, which obviously took some time. I would like to add two things to what he already stated so nicely. The terms "forward" and "laid back" could also be used in reference to tonal balance. While Garfish used them in ... |
