| Looks like M&K has give it up...Closed Sad news indeed. Building speakers is a tricky business to defend, as the volumes are small. Apart from the design, marketing, distribution and assembly, the major components are often outsourced; cabinetry, crossovers elements & drivers...whi... | |
| Best nearfield monitor? "true deep bass response" & "dynamic contrast and extreme dynamical outburst" ....if you mean fairly accurate but deep bass rather than copious amounts of room shaking resonant distortion then my suggestion would be an active monitor with a re... | |
| AKUS - So Long So Wrong- Time to Stop Upgrading? It Doesn't Matter Anymore is the best sound I have ever heard on my system. If you have a good system then it is worth paying attention to the people who mix and master. When Gary Paczosa and Doug Sax are involved (a couple of what many might ter... | |
| Disconnecting speaker while power amp on - any dan If you short the amp output while disconnecting the speaker wires then there is of course potential for damage to the amplifier. | |
| Which one is best.. These are all good. You will be happy with any of them. So search for the best deal for you. The Proceed and Bryston have balanced inputs which is an advantage. The Bryston has a 20 year warrenty. Specifications are all very similar. | |
| Burning in period Nautilus 800? Tony007By your own estimates, you appear to have spent between two and five years breaking in speaker woofers (assuming that you always have one pair of the 40 to 50 speakers being broken-in continuously, 24/7) Since you have found that crossover ... | |
| Monster pwr conditioners----your thoughts? If your existing equipment has robust power supply then it should adequately handle regular dirty household AC power...after all the power conditioner is just like having a better power supply in your component.So it largely depends on the quality... | |
| Changing speaker cloth Just a word of caution. The grill that holds the cloth may be necessary to reduce edge diffration. You can order speaker cloth from a variety of suppliers. I have never experienced the problem you describe but a slightly different sound is quite l... | |
| if Sony had been around earlier - format wars Tvad,Brilliant. I recall another thread about a 5.1 center channel where someone wanted it to come from the rear instead of conventionally. I am sure they could oblige. | |
| Burning in period Nautilus 800? B&W Drivers should need only a few minutes or maximum of a few hours. If it still sounds different after a week then your old drivers may have been damaged/over driven or something is wrong (for example did you make sure that the seal is airti... | |
| Sony 40 This is a common problem when screen pixels are fixed and don't match source signal pixels. You may need a good upscaler. I bought a Plasma EDTV for the kitchen because of this problem (downscaling is much less of a problem). In the familly room I... | |
| Preamp output voltage...affect on volume??? Quite simply a higher gain will result in a louder sound. The volume dial alows you to adjust the gain. A higher maximum ouput implies nothing unless you know the maximum input level.Suppose that all signals are RCA line level and unbalanced; inpu... | |
| Richard Gray's 400 Pro = Emperor's New Clothes?? Another way to look at it is that your Rega and Rotel gear is already handling power supply issues/variations as par for the course (as any highly respectable electronics really should)Perhaps your results simply reflect the high quality of your o... | |
| What must I correct to get the perfect sound? Oops, in the last post I gave the URL to the letters feedback to this Original Loud CD Article |
