A pro driver will look beefy when you pop it out - Like these small 3 inch drivers, the one on the left with a 7" & 18 pound magnet . If you place the smaller pro 3 inch driver along side a tweeter you get the idea of "beef". Now if you think...

For the money the speakers cost to purchase Krell should of gave them to me for free. I think that is unfair to Krell...the aluminum cabinets are EXTREMELY expensive...especially if you consider the small sales volumes of this a higly exclusive '...

I was able to order it localy from a company...it costed 60.00!!?? a 60.00 woofer out of a 10,000 pair of speakers!! That is why consumer speakers look "stunning"! Cheap drivers but beautiful (and expensive) cabinets. Partly they must fulfill an ...

Speaker to be used with PC
I second Bob's suggestions, however, you are talking high quality with NHT and sound that is on par with most people's main systems.The Paradigm Active 20's are also a great choice.Both are main system killers or at least competitive with most mains.

Radrog,Thats quite normal - it is a perfectly good tweeter (Vifa XT25TG30). Tweeters don't do much - despite all the fuss people tend to make. Hopefully you have good expensive midrange and bass woofers, as that matters a great deal - good starts ...

Can you expalin possible negative effects of running the mains full range? Possible problems are matching the large LF phase swings in your mains (due to the double ported design) and/or too much bass at some frequencies.FWIW: I use the sub to fi...

There is a comment in this thread that hi-end enthusiasts don't usually like pro audio components. Why is that? They tend to be revealing, harsh, clinical and inflexible - often designed to hear into the mix. They make an excellent choice for cri...

I have been reading about the JL Audio Fathom F113 and one concern I have is that a couple reviews stated that the F113 lacks a high-pass filter, which can be an issue for two-channel use, unless I use an external x-over, which I do not desire to... 
If you play your music between 10 and 12 on the d
Anything past 11 should be ok. Basically volume controls are not great when attenuating enormously. Some resistor ladders are very good though. Pots are usually bad at the extremes and it is better to play past 11 with 1PM being pretty much gauran... 
Which James Bond Theme Recording
How about being a Slave to the Rhythm? Notably one of the better Bond adversaries unless you prefer Jaws! 
which bang for the buck DAC?
I am using Dynaudio S3.4 That speaker has a fairly flat response. It will probably work with the Benchmark DAC1 without sounding too "etched" or articulate. If you check the reviews on the Benchmark everyone says it is lean sounding particuarly i...
