| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? 1. In my experience, I believe the JL subs would work fine. I'd go for the 10 or 13 inch models and use two.2. JL Audios built in software for room equalization works great and makes it easier to blend the subs with Maggies.3. Plan on purchasing a... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they? So any comments about the JC-2 preamp. | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 and JC-2 How good are they? Hi Rossman and others, I do have the Parasound equipment in my system. I'm reasonably impressed. The equipment is very dynamic and open. Vocals seem float from the system. However I'm not detecting that last bit of harmonic bloom and richness that... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Well how does fare against other top Redbook CD players, DACS, transports, and computer audio systems? | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Anyone compare this player to separates or SOTA one boxes like Esoteric, Levinson, Meridian, etc? Any comparisons to computer audio systems?Thanks for commenting.And Dave you've done a great job with the review so far! | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Bongofury,Of course, I was not talking about PA systems for arenas but the home.As for as I know this is a home stereo website.I stand by my word. I've never heard a stereo system for the home yet come as close to the Helix (as set up by Bill Dudd... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? The best speaker by far that I've ever heard, and I've compared these to Magnepan Tympanis, Von Swiekart VR-11s, and Wilson Alexandrias are Legacy Audio's Helix.I went to Springfield, IL to listen to them lately and wow I've never heard better.The... | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs Too bad my proposed machine to restore the dynamics on recordings might be difficult to achieve.However it still is a shame to purchase music that you hear and like, and then bring it home to find it unlistenable because of the "recording choices"... | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs Why not a machine that can uncompress and restore the recording to its original dynamics? It seems this should be possible. It is a shame that bad recordings can't be returned. To me after I pay $15.00 for a CD (or more) and it sound is hideous I ... | |
| opinions on Coda CX mono blocks ? I'm interested too. Any one heard/own the new Coda stuff? | |
| Bass trapping question Thanks Shadome.If I took the traps out behind the shelves would that still cause a helmholtz resonation problem.I did here sort of a suckout in the mid range/upper bass when I placed the shelves and the cabinet, however when I added more trapping ... | |
| Subwoofer or Bi-Amp? Yes biamping with a powered sub will be a great improvement. I know from experience. However be prepared to also purchase an active crossover like a Marchand or Bryston or maybe even one of the digital room correction pieces with a built in crosso... | |
| Tweaks when building a listening room? Don't allow any 90 degree corners. Use dry wall to enclose all the corners to make bass traping. Use the new sheet rock called Quiet Rock I believe. You won't have to double it probably. Use rock wool as insulation. Wire at least one home run per ... | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? I have Fathoms also. How JP1208 how did you put spikes on them and what kind?Thanks! | |
| Best Big Sub? or duals? I'd opt for two Fathoms. I use two now and am very happy with the sound. However it depends on how much work you want to do. If you want to set it and forget it for home theater, then if you can swing it the one Gotham will sound great, I believe.... |
