After reading the post entitled "My system acts weird" by Avialuf I decided to check my breaker box.I installed 2 20amp circuits about a year ago for my stereo system and projector.My house is over 50 years old and so I pulled all the breakers and...

Yes,I had my hearing tested twice as I thought maybe that could be the cause but all is good.

Speakers are Legend Audio speakers.My sources are cd player,directv hd receiver and ps3.The receivers are a Sony and Yamaha.I replaced the front and center speaker cabling with new speaker wire 12awg as I had found that one of the speaker cables h...

Well the problem has retuned.It has to be hardware related.I do not see how it could be the speakers.One receiver plays louder to the left and the other receiver to the right.Going to have to bite the bullet and start shopping for something new.

The receivers are differnt makes.I deceided to try something different.I have a box full of intercoonects that I have had for years and even though I had replaced them already with ones from my box I deceided to give it a go again.First I had opti...

I said that the imaging sounds correct but that is false.The center imaging sounds correct but the right side imaging will shift.Sometimes it sounds correct although lower than the left and other times the imaging that should be to to right moves ... 
Replaced Mid-RangeBest way to Burn-IN ???
Is it normal when you replace a mid-range for that speaker to sound a little louder than the other due to it being a new driver?When running a test tone using a slp meter there is no difference in volume.

Also replaced the inductors with new ones as the old ones where damaged.I know I should of got 2 new drivers but as I said ...funds are lacking.Do inductors also require break in?

Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid?
I had the same problem with music being forward and went through a lot of cables (Nordost,Mit,Monster,Synergistic...ect) and changing the souce (cdp) 3 times.I eventually just gave up on trying to get better seperation as each change I made was no...

I sold the rcd 1072 and really did not upgrade as I am using a old Denon cdp that just is much better sounding to me.It was really just hard for me to enjoy the Rotel rcd 1072.To me it just sounded to cold and forward.The Denon on the other hand j...

Actually I have decided to go with the B&W 804s.It is not that the 683's are bad in anyway as they are a wonderful speaker.I have found that after selling my Rotel cdp that the cdp was 90% of my problem combined with revealing interconnects.Ju...

No the 683's are not lacking in bass but they are defiantly not the most suitable for rock.I agree that rock does not always mean TURN IT UP LOUD.There are many different styles of rock.Unbelievable to me ....I auditioned some B&W 804's yester...

Some very good recommendations and I thank all of you.The only thing on the list so far that is close to me is a pair of JBL 4411 studios and would give them a listen but I do not like that they are properly used by laying them on their side.The K...
