| active professional monitors for HT It feels like you are there. That's the whole idea! | |
| Why are we so passive? Really? alot of musicians don't know crap about good sound. Just look at all the photos of "artists" with the Yamaha NS-10's in the background... yeah like that's some kind of "reference" Funny you should mention these. The NS-10's have almost a c... | |
| Queen song question? I have a modest Queen collection. I have no problem at all. I use ATC SCM 100A and an SCM active 0.1/15 sub. These speakers can practically make you deaf if you so desire. Very few consumer speakers play loud enough or dynamically enough with low ... | |
| Would you get ASC Tube Traps or RealTraps shadorne, thanks for the info. I had forgotten about the GIK! Do you know if the Tri traps work as well as Realtraps? I don't think there is much difference. It is the volume of treatment that matters most in corner broadband absorption. 4 inches ... | |
| What songs do you never get tired of? Well I may be a little nostaglic...or perhaps my Mom dropped me on my head when I was five but this always rasies the hair on my neck. Some deep seated childhood dream thing I guess....the good guys slaying monsters from the id perhaps?.. technolo... | |
| Why are we so passive? There is nothing wrong with passive. You can get very good sound from passive speakers. Although active speakers often sound better where both options are available and direct comparisons can be made. Active speakers allow for a greater degree of ... | |
| Would you get ASC Tube Traps or RealTraps Take a look at GIK Acoustics Tri-traps or Real Traps "stands". Either of these may be both the ticket to WAF aesthetics and broadband absorption....frankly I don't like the awkward look of 4 inch panels straddling the corners either.See my virtual... | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? I don't have either of these speakers. However, assuming that by "Proac rear porting issues" you mean too much bass boost between 80 and 100 Hz then this will be an improvement; the IB1 is much flatter in the overall bass than the Proacs, which sh... | |
| Would you get ASC Tube Traps or RealTraps I'd go for broadband absorbers like RealTraps. Tube traps are frequency specific (tuned) and unless you are an acoustician you may end up with making things sound worse. Broadband absorbers installed across corners improve things 99% of the time -... | |
| Media Center for MP3 and DVD´s I think a DVD megachanger is not really worth it. DVD menus are painful and slow...I can't imagine making a "playlist" frm movies or concerts - therefore it is very little effort to open the jewel case and load the DVD into the player (after all a... | |
| Subwoofer suggestion to Integrate w/ Meyer HD-1's Good Choice. | |
| Eggleston Andra 2 owners I think Bob Ludwig uses these - check what he uses to drive them. | |
| Two sources, one sub - can I use Y-cable No. The output impedance of the pre-out may quite low and will drop the active signal level going to the sub.Y's in audio are a nightmare. You can only use them to split signals from one source to two high impedance inputs.If you want to connect o... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? Any DSP device to accomplish the same or more would require additional A/D/A conversions which would be redundant and compromising. I am not aware of any current consumer HT multi-channel source that is not digital (DVD, SACD).It begs the questio... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The Dunlavy V's. It is my 10 th year and I see no need to replace them. Agreed! That is the mark of a great speaker. No more Merry-Go-Round for you. No need to own the latest styles or hyped models....no need to keep up with the Jones' ...it will... |
