| How much money on speaker cable? To put things in perspetive - $600 is probably way more than the cost of the components (drivers and crossover) in your speakers. There is actually a greater length of wire in your speaker voice coils than your speaker cables anyway.For example, $... | |
| why don't I like it?? Sorry to hijack this thread - as it might not be a problem of badly recorded music - it was just a suggestion of mine.However, CD Loudness and audio compression of music or simply put crap music is a MUCH bigger issue than most people realize.Here... | |
| Lifespan of Power amps It's the capacitors. Caps last around 20 years. If you replace them BEFORE they die/break/explode, you'll have another 20 years. Agree 100%. Electrolytic Capacitors are a fact of life in amplifiers, tube or solid state. They last about 20-25 year... | |
| why don't I like it?? What do you think? It might be the music itself is to harsh. Do a google on CD Loudness wars. I am not sure how far back you are referring to with your old roomate...in the 80's and early 90's a lot of rock music sounded very good. Since the mid ... | |
| Easy to drive large speakers for Rock & Roll? I second Dr Joe. | |
| Kharma's 3.2FE or Reference 3A Grand Veena's Forget the specs - they both look stunning! | |
| Damaged Dome Mid-Range Actually, it's the peak voltage that's needed, and it may not persist long enough to represent much power. I agree that voltage is needed - some good MOSFETs should be all that is needed though and voltage is a lot easier ti supply than high amou... | |
| Buying a 10 years old loudspeaker Clavil,Many speakers can be easily damaged by being overdriven - and it does not always result in catastrophic failure but could mean you have a tweeter that sounds like there is "sand" in it - some have been blown up and may have been repaired in... | |
| Want to accept the Harbeth 7's, but... If the Harbeths are close to the wall(s), you might try moving them out away from the walls and see if that helps. Early reflections and/or too much boundary reinforcement can muddle the sound.Good point. I heard them in a demo and they were setu... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s Ceramic drivers do sound dry, and ring a bit at high volumes, esp when partnered with wrong equipment usally SS amps I agree - what you say is "generally" true of rigid light weight drivers, however, as Mike points out - the C79/6 accutons are ex... | |
| Damaged Dome Mid-Range Shadorne,Am I correct that you suggest that I have enough power and may be over-driving the mids and highs?Yes - if you are sending 90 watts to the mid and tweeter alone then this should be more than enough. You really only need the mega watts fo... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... Keithr,Oh - I am not sure - why not contact Thomas Barefoot and get his opinion - he is careful to say they are "near-fields on steroids" but I don't think he claims these are for far-field use (although I bet they go loud enough for most people).... | |
| Hi end ear buds I use a pair of HD 25 -II Sennheiser pro broadcast monitoring headphones for electronic drums.These are excellent - one of the best sounding isolating headphones(-17 db isolation and surprisingly comfortable/lightweight when you get used to their ... | |
| Active Speakers: The usual suspects .... Shadorne- could the MM27s be used 10" apart, sitting 12" back? Sure....I think you could just turn them up anytime you needed to blow dry your hair...Seriously I think NHT Moo or Soo and other much cheaper speakers would be more sensible for a PC... | |
| Damaged Dome Mid-Range This 2 inch dome is crossed over at 550 Hz. I would suggest you are playing it too loudly (this is not a speaker that can play extremely loud). When you biamp you can send a lot more power to the mid and high. What goes first is just a matter of l... |
