| Comments on Rogue Preamps? sorry, to clarify, i had a magnum-version of the rogue 99. | |
| Comments on Rogue Preamps? i found the cary slp98 to be marginally better than the rogue in all areas except the bass response - where it was a *lot* better. current-production can be found for quite a bit less than $2k. but, i prefer the melos ma-333/music director, which ... | |
| Best Midrange for DIY speakers trelja, ewe are correct, i mistook scan-epeak for dynaudio. oops. i knew that the morel drivers were clones - supposedly excellent - a great buy as you say. and, as i now understand that dynaudio is no longer gonna sell raw drivers to diy-ers, per... | |
| How would you rate your listening room? when i hear about albert's upcoming room, it makes me re-think my ratings - perhaps a "b" is in order for my room. jeez - copper shielding - i've only seen that used in mri facilities i've designed/installed at the nih! :>) craig, good luck w/t... | |

| Best Tweeter for DIY project perfectimage, isn't it esotar? i'd also consider the raven tweeters, & the accuton (thiel & partner) ceramic drivers. | |
| Best Midrange for DIY speakers i understand morels are scan-speak clones. another mfr to consider is thiel & partner (no relation to thiel in kentucky), also known as accuton. | |
| How would you rate your listening room? i'd have to give my room a class "a" rating, yust cuz of its size. while not perfectly rectangular, the dimensions are approximately 25x38x8.5. w/its slightly off-kilter shape & large size, i really don't need much acoustical treatment. the sp... | |

| Jolida202a vs. Creek 4330 whatever yer choice, if yer a *poboy* (or even if not!), buy used - yule get more bang for the buck. ie: a jolida 302 instead of a 202... | |

| 1 sub? 2 subs? gmorris,i must confess that i've never tried using only one sub in *my* listening room - when i decided to sub-woof, i got two from the start. my reasons were based upon what seemed reasonable & logical to me: two subs means half the distortio... | |
| 1 sub? 2 subs? i've heard the 18" velodynes, the sunfires, the rel stratus - in all cases i was extremely underwhelmed: boomy one-note thump. then again, the set-up seemed to me to be less than optimal. the only time i ever heard a powered one-sub set-up integra... |
