| what do you put under your sub? In my previous post, I made the assumption that the sub cabinet does not resonate in the frequency range you are using it for....if you have a cabinet that resonates (side walls waffle) then you have serious problems...coupling to something massiv... | |
| what do you put under your sub? Jaff2290You won't need spikes....I doubt the concrete will interact much with your sub except to reflect energy...carpet and under carpet will provide damping to reduce any chance of rattle .....so why mess with it.If it sounds muddy you may have ... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp Neither is important if you have high $$$ cables between them ;-) | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Tomryan,FWIW, have you considered the possibility that the high output impedance of your tube amp might be factor in how different cables sound when coupled to a speaker of varying impedance?When impedances are quite close the combination will ten... | |
| Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System Of the subs you mention, only the Velodyne HGS 15 will be of excellent musical quality (around 1% THD). The other two are more for movies, the Earthquake has a passive radiator and is almost certain to have 20% harmonic distortion at the lowest fr... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? I'm driving $1,400.00 monitor speakers with $11,000.00 worth of amp/pre-amp. Oh yeah, and $3,450.00 in wires. Tomryan,FWIW, IMHO, Assuming that you already have a great amp/pre-amp and source (at that price it most certainly better be good).....t... | |
| Censored by Apple: Front Row Critique I have a wireless card in my mac mini. You can send your tracks from Itunes to an Airport Express connected to your audio system from wherever you sit....just move you Mac to a side table near where you sit...Remotes for selecting/manipulating mus... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Reubent,Thx for the update. Wow, that is a lot of change in just over a year. How much longer will you stick with the current setup - or have you found Audio Nirvanna? | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Here is the price breakdown (all purchased used) of my current system:CD player $1000Amp $600Speakers $400Your System list prices indicate that your speaker is roughly half the new cost of the equipment...a balanced investment, IMHO. Great that t... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Cutting to the chase here, in my opinion speakers make the most difference. Could not agree more with this statement. $2K on speakers and more than $10K on amps, source, interconnects & speaker cables is a typical but much misguided approach ... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? OMG...I have watched this thread for several days...such lame suggestions...pop just ain't the medium for this, IMHO, I mean come on ...."My baby takes the morning train", Sheena Easton , "Heart of Glass" or "Rapture" by Blondie or "Zig A Zig ahhh... | |
| Any comments on the MBL 121 Compacts I assume you know the drivers in even an expensive speaker (costing $10K or more) only cost a couple of hundred dollars Quite often true, but MBL is not the only manufacturer that make their own drivers. A few others use expensive drivers too. BT... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... You may want to contact Rives or Realtraps. If you buy something from them they'll be very open to advice for you. Warnerwh, I think that is a good plan but once I take that step I will find myself committed. That is whay I like Audiogon forums..... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... Shadorne...Rives audio, who certainly are great believers in room treatments, will tell you that low frequency problems can't be fixed this way. The above comment is my worry exactly...I am sure acoustic treatment is essential and extremely benef... | |
| I know this is heresy, but... So you may be best just going after the most Bass trapping possible with aesthetic appeal you can in that room and hope for results with your subs My thoughts exactly. Big rooms are generally better than smaller rooms but they can suffer from ver... |
