| 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... | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... I won't be baited into this [MC] fiascoA fiasco? 2-channel, vinyl and tubes rule. Of course they do. | |
| amplifier DB meters Bob,Are you saying that you have a bank of 8 drivers wired in parallel or in series? | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... Tbg and Jmcgrogan,I agree that multi-channel music often leaves a lot to be desired. Concert DVD's are often a mixed bag. However many of todays compressed CD's leave a lot to be desired too...so not all recordings are great, even in stereo.IMHO, ... | |
| Balanced in and balance out inverted ? puzzle Some UK gear is done differently from US convention - it doesn't matter as this is just phase inverted. | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query Roughly speaking I would say a maximum average of about 90 db SPL (leaving 10 db of headroom). A lot will depend on the source music and speaker design and its inherent dynamic range as to whether the sytem will run out of head room or not. Most l... | |
| Zu Druid questions Casouza, thanks so much for this informative post. I could care less about measurments, only the sound. Jack,Exceptional speakers do not need to be reasonably flat with wide dispersion to sound good. You are right to care only about the sound. Le... | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query When I say can I go to 100, I mean MAX reading of 100 with average about say 88-90 db on the SPL meter. Trust your ears not the meter or calculations - if it sounds uncomfortably loud at 90 db SPL (average) then you already have loads of distorti... | |
| combining different cables IMHO the need to use "ONLY" the same brand of IC's and cables is a myth circulated by manufacturers and salesmen. I agree fully. This is also not the "ONLY" myth associated with IC's, Cables and power cords....there are many more. Why are these m... | |
| SPL Meter & SPL Calculator website -Techie Query My question is, based on the results of the calculator am I to assume that I would be okay when it comes to clipping at my listening level threshold and that my speakers/amp were not clipping today at the 90-95 (max reading) of SPL db? Clipping i... | |
| amplifier DB meters When my system is playing and I only ever see 4 watts on the meter with the loudest peak, I can figure that the amp is using more watts, than the meter is reading, but how much more? 4 watts metered power (referenced to an 8 Ohm load) is;1) is ac... |
