| Krell and Utopia spkrs. Connections? Hi. I heard this set-up with the new MIT Oracle line, an 8' pair. Absolutely stunning. Interconnects were also MIT; not sure which ones. Good luck. | |
| Recommended cables for NHT 2.9 89vett either has a hearing deficit or a bad system. The MIT2 is a great buy, but don't take my word for-go try some, or any others. Kimber makes good products as well, but I've never used their cheaper stuff. It's probably good. Good luck... | |
| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? The above are all good suggestions. Especially the MITerminator2. They're fantastic for the price. I was using the MIT2 speaker cable with my JmLabs until just recently, when I went looking for an upgrade. The only cables I found that were better ... | |
| ++power cords with power conditioners? Although a power conditioner by itself is usually a great improvement, a premium power cord will make even more difference. Just think of each power cord as basically a 3-6 foot antenna, or at least the cheap(stock) ones are. Also, the PS300 is no... | |
| Bi-wire cable versus 2 sets of cable Hello. Megasam above is correct. What happens when a speaker is able to be biwired but isn't is that the woofer, with it's bigger magnet and higher power requiremnts, tries to ram it's signal back down the tweeters throat, so to speak, something r... | |
| Bi-amping B&W Nautilus 802's? Bi-amping is the way to go. The easiest way is if your preamp has two sets of pre-outs, and use one amp for each speaker. I would stay away from tube amps altogether for that speaker, but that is my prejudiced opinion. People that like tubes like ... | |
| Proportional Allocation to Total System I have to disagree with all of the above. Nothing will influence the sound more than the speakers themselves. Would you connect a Krell amp to a pair of PSB alphas? A good speaker will reveal all the good and bad that your electronics have to offe... | |
| Paradigm vs. Velodyne Smoothed infinitely? Only if you have a 1/3 octave RTA to make such fine measurements, and even then unless the room is huge, it would be tricky. By the way, 2 subs only nets you about 6db more SPL than one sub, not a large amount, especially cons... | |
| Paradigm vs. Velodyne The Velodyne is superior in every way, but it should be. It costs more than twice as much. The velodyne is more accurate, and goes deeper with a higher SPL, especially good for home theatre. Two HGS 15 is overkill in all but the largest rooms and ... | |
| Will 80 tube watts run MartinLogan SL3? No, they won't. To get the SL3s to run properly, you'll need an amp capable of some serious current. It'll have to be stable into a load of about 1.5 ohms to get the sound they're capable of. That means you'll need Krell, Levinson, Aragon, etc. I ... |
