| Coaxial digital cable vs Optical digital cable Try one of Chris VH's Pulsar's. It is a very solid cable for the money involved and would be an excellent starting point. You may never feel the need to go any further, but if you do, you won't be out much money at all and you'll never regret the ... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible El: Series crossovers consist of the opposite components one would use in a parallel crossover. While "common" crossovers are called "parallel" designs, they really are closer to a series circuit by their very nature. Some newer speakers ( and old... | |
| Shure V15VxMR to be discontinued Scottht: If you read some of my older posts about the V15VxMR, you'll find that i'm not a huge fan of this cartridge either. While it is a solid cartridge, it doesn't deserve all of the hype that it gets either. Then again, comparing this cartridg... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Mprime: Don't start bad-mouthing carbon or a certain manufacturer will start crying "foul" and calling you names.It is possible that the carbon does act as a shield and at the same time, is less intrusive due to the lack of conductivity & magn... | |
| Interconnect downstream flow Mr Dartford makes a good point about impedance matching and interconnects playing games with the sound and performance of the system. As such, one really has to experiment with what interconnect goes where. Some interconnects that one might think ... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karl: My experience with even very high grade "passive parts" placed smack dab between the amp and drivers is that they drastically reduce sound quality. One can use even a lower grade electronic crossover and get better results than if one used v... | |
| Breaking in power cords One would think so, but there are "audiophile grade" power cords that cost hundreds of dollars that will shrivel up and die if used with such a load. Sean> | |
| I found a pair of mint Carver Amazings I listened to a pair of these with a big Levinson amp and a big Bryston driving them. Both were completely inadequate for these speakers. I don't doubt that the Krell would be a better match, both in terms of sheer grunt factor and tonal balance. ... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Karl: I wasn't talking about supplementing the bottom end of your design with an actively crossed sub, but about using the existing design with an active crossover and bypassing the internal series crossover. I understand that you have several dif... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Thanks for your very up-front response Karl. As fine of a speaker as you have been able to produce, your comments varify what i and several others have stated. That is, obtaining extreme low bass out of a smaller driver comes at the expense of som... | |
| Breaking in power cords One should be careful with what they try to hook up an "audiophile grade" power cord to when connecting it to something other than an audio component. Some of these very expensive cables aren't capable of passing more than a few hundred watts of p... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible I had original 1st series 901's back in the 1970's. Harry Pearson stated that the 901's are the only speaker that has gotten worse with each new generation. I guess that means that he thinks that the 1st were the best. I would tend to agree. As a ... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Michael: I simply posted comments in agreement with others that had taken the time to share both their personal points of view and / or scientific data pertaining to the situation at hand. Sorry if that offends you. Karl: Thanks for taking the tim... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Michael: Based on the information provided, it is possible to tell that someone invested a lot of time and research into these speakers. Whether or not they do everything well or suitable for a given installation is another matter. The more spec's... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Sogood51: I liked your post. The comment about ports adding quantity but lacking quality is right on the money. The analogy of a smaller woofers vs bigger woofers and the boy / man comparison was also quite good. Drew: very nice posts that are bas... |
