| 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... | |
| How to Position Speakers in a Square-ish Room Diagonal across one corner will work best in this case. | |
| Speakers sound best facing wall???? You need to see an ENT. Something could be wrong. It is absolutely NOT NORMAL (as you are aware) to prefer the sound with the speakers turned backwards. Your speakers are fine - you should not have a problem with Tannoy's.Do you have the same prob... | |
| What is your favorite recording with a quirck Waifs - A brieff History LIve - "Here if you want" - a beautiful balad is interupted towards the end by a mobile telephone - "turn teh bloody phone off" she yells after the song. | |
| ATC SCM7 vs. Proac Studio 110 ATC will prefer more power and will have a more articulate tight and punchy bass (no port) but it won't have as much bass extension as the Proac (reflex ported). The ATC midrange and articulation will have the edge on Proac but the Proac bass exte... | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? Perhaps your player is doing some kind of conversion or compression (44.1 to 48Kz or to 96Khz or to compressed Dolby or something like that). Perhaps it is doing a poor job at converting. Check your settings. |
