| how to put center channel voices in rear speakers I enjoy hearing the dialog in the rear speakers as well as in the center Frankly, I don't think I would like it from the rear at all but I am kinda conservative and I have no direct experience I guess. How did you happen to get exposed to vocals ... | |
| What must I correct to get the perfect sound? Just some thoughts; 1) your expectations might be based on "boomboxes", car audio and typical home audio bass heavy systems (What sells best at Circuit City). These systems are often full of distortion and resonance in the low end because buyers d... | |
| Problem with Arcam or JM LABS "Thick and slurred" is probably distortion somewhere rather than an incorrect volume setting. Perhaps an electronic problem with the center channel on the amp? | |
| Eidolon or Eclipse Classic Certainly a three way will be better and worth 4K (provided you like the lightweight Accuton C79 Ceramic mid and you have a medium to large room). | |
| Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble An SS amp is relatively unaffected by speaker impedance compared to tubes.Your speakers are a tough load for a tube amp. I'd prefer 8 ohm nominal speakers with tubes. In any case, you are talking band aid solutions....the problem is your speakers.... | |
| Getting rid of harsh, shrill treble It is your speakers. The highest fundamental note on the violin is like 2000 Hz so most of the problem is likely in the mid range.Two way speakers are awesome but it is still demanding of a 6.5" driver to cover up to 2.5 Khz. The rigid magnesium c... | |

I don't believe you can achieve a noticeable difference g... | |

| haunting/dark classical Try Danny Elfman much of his work, Prokofiev Romeo & Juliette, Mahler much of his work, Mozart Requiem, Don Giovanni, Wagner much of his work, Verdi Chorus of Hebrew Slaves ...too works to many to list here | |
| Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker Danlib1,Fair enough. It is true that there are some examples where science gets it badly wrong and later "scientific wisdom" is retracted. Perhaps audio cables will be one of these examples. | |
| Advice on how to get FedEx to pay up on damage As a rule, 10% of the item's value spent on shipping is your best insurance. I agree fully with this statement!Extremely expensive items are best packaged in protective boxes and then wooden crated such that they cannot be lifted or moved by indi... | |
| Cable Burn-In Question Interconnect & Speaker With the known fact that Audio Cables (Interconnect & Speaker) benefit greatly from the Burn-In process The vast majority of electrical engineers and scientists would dispute this statement. There is no process that has been documented that w... | |
| What are the best monitor speakers for classical? If you like Telarc label for classical music then perhaps you might consider to add what they use for loudspeakers to your audition list.Try a google on "telarc loudspeakers" and see what you get. | |
| Seas Millennium Break-in time 200 hours with drifting response? Is that what Seas claim in their specifications? You may want to reconsider as a lack of stability is not really a good attribute in audio products. Most are designed for consistency and good stability under vario... |
