| House AC Line Variance This is quite normal. If you are concerned or you hear audible differences then I'd suggest the APC H15. | |
| Ceramic Coated Woofers Could someone have cleaned them with a cleaning product? A wood polish? Mr Clean? | |
| active professional monitors for HT I second Bruce's recommendations. | |
| Pre-wired in new home. I expect several people to warn you that it will sound terrible with ordinary wires. Personally I would not worry about it - not even one minute. 80 feet of 16 AWG will lose you about 20% power into a 4 Ohm load. Of course 12 AWG would only lose 1... | |
| Down-firing Sub makes floor rattle Newbee has good point. Ultimately everything will rattle. A plywood sheetboard somewhere could use some extra screws perhaps? A lose air duct mounting? A heavier carpet or underlay may help too. Also try moving furniture around or put you hand wei... | |
| tube amps/low capacitance cables? I don't think there is a rule of thumb. In general, if the speaker cables have a major impact on the sound then I would be more concerned about the amplifier design, how the speaker load varies with frequency and the way the two match...just my tw... | |
| Recommendations for 1000 If you like loud dynamic sound then for under $1000 you are definitely on the right track! | |
| Zu Druid questions Congratulations. I look forward to reading your review of the Zu's (please?). I certainly enjoyed the review you did of the Veritas 2.3i - judging from that review I expect you will be rather sorry to see them go.Great to see that you have such co... | |
| What is my weakest link? how hard is it to stay on track with that? There were three choices.. and speakers wasn't one of them. LOL. I re-read your post and you are quite right. Sorry...my bad. I think the Ayre LX5e would be an awesome upgrade. | |
| Amp problem - Sounds drops out of one channel Sounds like you damaged some transistors somehow (short the amp, over drive it or something). You should also check your speakers carefully or whatever was connected to the amp when you suspect it may have been damaged. In Class AB designs they wi... | |
| What is my weakest link? which would give me the biggest improvement in sound.I'm with Gregm...your speakers are fantastic but when it comes to upgrades you can get more value from a speaker upgrade than the same money spent on cables.I would add room acoustics to your u... | |
| Subwoofer suggestion to Integrate w/ Meyer HD-1's Stearnsn,The sub integrates well but ultra LF bass is always a mess because of any room. In my case I needed a PEQ to tame bass room modes (room modes not just from the sub but from the mains also). This is not ideal but it is practical (idealy it... | |
| amplifier DB meters I needed to keep it 4 ohms That's cool. Given your amps there should be absolutely no problem with that kind of load. | |
| proac and atc compared to Harbeth monitor 30's I'd tee up ATC SCM 19 against the larger Harbeth 30. The SCM 19 is smaller but will still play louder cleanly due to the heavy duty driver (with appropriate amplification of course). Both designs share a similarity in a crossover set quite high (e... | |
| Subwoofer suggestion to Integrate w/ Meyer HD-1's Stearnsn,My two cents....X-800.You are best to stick with the same manufacurer. Meyer make studio quality gear. This is very different from audiophile speakers and I doubt this will integrate well with anything but a studio grade sub. Firstly, you... |
