| Can room treatment improve bass accuracy? Yes treatment can improve room accuracy. But not much impact below 100 Hz ( unless you use specific tuned tube traps and you really need to know what you are doing ). I'd suggest treating all four corners with broadband absorbers. You need somethi... | |
| Technical question - satellites and TVs Talk to people like iDirect or Bell - if you need satelllite (about $500 a day plus you need the about 8K of gear at each end). Alterntively you can lease T1 links, I think they run about $350 to $500 a month in metro areas (1.544 Mb/s) | |
| Can we fit Dunlavy SC-VI in a samller room? I second Rives comments. | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Brian, But when loudspeakers are given enough power, a system can produce awesome dynamics, with sound that feels so real you can almost touch it. What musical fidelity says is true, however, what they neglect to mention is power compression in sp... | |
| paradigm studio 20 as center channel speaker No problems. As long as it does not interfere with the screen viewing. | |
| Interconnect - Does short length hinder sound? Size doesn't matter! Seriously. Not at audio frequencies. | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection Ghosthouse, Yeah I agree. Also Tom Waits Heart Attack and Vine is a good CD recording. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? What you will get is digital, and here we go again with the debate! Perhaps they'll come up with a way like Arny had done to him in Total Recall....to implant you with sonic mamories?Imagine it...you choose who you could be, say John Atkinson and... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now the bottom-end reproduction of this intro has flummoxed every speaker I've heard It is indeed a great intro...the flatulant bass trombone and the double bass together make a huge sound....like something deep primordial, the belly of the whale...u... | |
| best or craziest speakers' design.. Jeffrey,Absolutely brilliant. I love those speakers! Who even cares what they sound like - I mean just look at them - such a bold crazy stunning retro art statement! Sometimes totally over the top works! | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now Actually, Shadorne, there is no bass viol on the recording. But, after listening to the track again, it might be a bass trombone, and it does, indeed, read lower than 36 Hz in my room. Bass Trombone won't go below about 60 Hz, as I recall David F... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Haven't there been times when wifey actually helped? Absolutely! She often travels on business. This creates an opportunity to install something new. A few weeks later she asks, "Hey, what's that new box over there in the corner of the basement f... | |
| Equalization and bass traps I agree 100% with Hhiggins.You will find that a parametric equalizer is ineffective above about 80Hz for standing waves room mode equalization. A typical room of 25 feet by 16 feet by 9 feet will have a total of six room modes below 60 Hz. At 120 ... | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first I second Duke. What he says is not nuts at all! You can find many fine integrated amps for $600 that sound very much like many a $6000 amp (only lacking power or some features).....but you will generally find a marked improvement in speakers up to... | |
| Crossover ? Passive Vs. Active I'm with Undertow and Tim196. Active is definitely better from a technical perspective but less flexible than passive for tailoring the sound to individual taste (particularly if you like added harmonics from tube power amps to warm or sweeten the... |
