I think one needs to be aware of both valid philosophies and make one's choices accordingly. I can't tell where the OP's preferences sit but hopefully both the technical ... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? Then, the next step is to determine what sounds best *to the listener*. In the end, that's all that matters. I think we all agree on this but "try 'em out and see" is not helping to increase understanding. (I am sure that Cam will take this for g... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? It would be a concern if the outputs of a pro-oriented source component, or a pro-oriented equalizer or processor, were fed into the line-level inputs or tape inputs of a consumer-oriented preamplifier Exactly. If you use a Benchmark DAC1 with th... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? Line-level signal level for consumer audio equipment is nominally -10dBV (0.32V RMS). However, line-level signal level for pro-sound equipment is +4dBV (1.23V RMS). Simply put, pro audio gear is looking for a 14dB higher signal level.Anyone wh... | |

| how far do you sit from your speakers? As I lay back the chair, or keep it upright, the presentation alters. Noticeably. Not surprising - when you get close to a wall there is significant variation in sound quality reaching your ears. It is especially noticeable in the bass.The other ... | |
| how far do you sit from your speakers? Yes you need to be sitting well away from any wall - 2 feet is a minimum - 4 feet or more is best. | |
| Recall of Krell Amplifiers Shazbut, Magfan, you're right. Orson would be proud of you. Nanu-Nanu! | |
| Recall of Krell Amplifiers And this all goes to show, as Winston Churchill once said, you can fool some of the Audiogoners all of the time, and all of the Audiogoners some of the time, but you can not fool all of the Audiogoners all of the time.Al you are quite right that t... | |

| Recall of Krell Amplifiers This is a very old and well known problem with the Krell. The overheating and sparks have been captured in this image. | |

| Can speakers be too large for a room MWilliams,Al has a great point. Another concern might be tweeter compression (this is certainly a problem with the WP 8, as evidenced by Soundstage Measurements - I have no idea how the Sophia perfroms in this respect). Yet another possibiliity is... |
