| N805's vs N802's N805 are like the Silver Signature (a friend of mine has these) - awesome and very even dispersion - great speaker. N802's are more like the regular house B&W's sound - a small dip in the midrange (off axis) and strong bass (hump). I am not su... | |
| "Picking On" tribute albums Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling Stones has an awesome version of Honky Tonk by Taj Mahal - very well recorded. I recommend this highly. On a good system this song is highly impressive. Anyone who was impressed by Mighty Sam McClain CD's will e... | |
| Newbie needs info on modest laptop speakers NHT S00 and NHT M00 | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? I've been an advocate of 'reversing' speakers for years, but only with horns Is this Freudian? If it is - you Devil you!Mr Tennis - where are you when needed? | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? Blindjim,Interesting thoughts. Perhaps modding is partly based on a desire to differentiate - to have something better than or at least different from the next guy. To enhance the feeling of ownership pride by an extra level of customization. Audi... | |
| Subdued Voices - Phase problem? FWIW: I would consider upgrading the speakers at some point anyway (next step). They are nice speakers at their price point - possibly even giant killers - but your source and amplification could easily drive something a bit higher end - especiall... | |
| Sealed Monitor Speakers NHT SOO and MOO is an option but wall mount could look ugly due to power cords.. | |
| Voltage Regulator I have been thinking of the APC H15 but I have heard that it makes an annoying, clicking sound when it adjusts the voltage. Anyone heard this? Indeed it does - I suspect that this is a mechanical relay switching. Compared to the sound of the Air ... | |
| Subdued Voices - Phase problem? One really odd aspect is how much the effect varies by recording. For instance, on any Nora Jones recording, her voice is crystal clear and near the front of the soundstage. On most other recordings, it sounds like the recording engineer lowered ... | |
| Anyone had experience with PMC big guns? If you are not happy with low end then it might be a placement or room issue. Assuming this is not the problem, then I am not sure the low end performance will be that different - it is the same TL design. I have not made a direct comparison - so ... | |
| Subdued Voices - Phase problem? What is the distance to the speakers arer you listening near-field or far-field?Your speakers are only designed for near-field listening. With the kind of power that you have to drive them, it is likely that your are compressing in the midrange an... | |
| No Sound from Tweeter You might be able to find a "recone kit" for $50. Just make sure you clean it out thoroughly (blow with air) - remove any burned debris or dust. And don't forget to add ferrofluid. However for all the effort involved most people just go for an ent... | |
| ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110 So with the close wall positioning, the bottom octave of the ATCs will fill in quite nicely without boominess. I agree - the roll off on a sealed box is less steep - so ultimately you can get some useful deep bass compared to the risk of "one-not... | |
| No Sound from Tweeter If it does not make a sound with a 9 volt battery then it is blown. Order a new one if you think it is worth repairing the speakers - however, like origninal car parts - this will probably be a little more expensive than usual ($100 instead of $30). | |
| X-over question Marty,Your in the wrong forum for all the pratical answers on this. Try this DIY forum.FWIW - to briefly answer your question - with an active analog filter you can control pretty much what you want - phase accuracy, damping, quality factor, slope... |
