| The magic of outdoor listening I don't have to drag it outside - just need to open the balcony doors. One day last summer I got home early in the afternoon. Put a glorious Bach LP on the turntable and turned it up louder then I have ever played it, threw the doors open to water... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. Rethinking furniture and speaker placement can solve a lot of the issues already mentioned. My space is 14' x 29', half dining and half living room The easy solution was to place the speakers in the living area and fire across the short dimension.... | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? Thanks everyone - food for thought | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? and thanks @ghdprentice . I need to re-read your response and understand it better at a technical level before replying, none the less - thank you very much | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? @russ69 thanks for your response and I completely agree A friend has offered a sub and I think I need to hear the effects of this first as well as acoustically cleaning up this space. Thank you | |
| Amp Upgrade Path? Totem Hawk.... I really enjoy them what would you suggest to head into the mono block world? | |
| Looking for new speakers Sabrina X or Totem Metal V2 I'm far from an expert but do own a pair of Totem Hawks and giving some thought to upgrading speakers and looking at the Metal, although not entirely sure why? I'm generally happy with the Hawks. The tone and timbre is spot on. The only time they ... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… If your Mesa had any of the attributes of the Mesa Boogie guitar amp that sat around here for some years - I'd see about getting it fixed. That amp was mean...and with authority....it growled I'm running a Rogue, enjoy it and am unaware of any pro... | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies It's all really hilarious and self created drama. I was on his site before I saw this video and as i was browsing around most tubes are shown as out of stock. So I well imagine people looking for tubes actually started calling to see what was avai... | |
| Westchester, New York Sorry for resurrecting this from the dead - wondering if the group is still around and excepting members. I'm in Yonkers. Maybe someone will see this. Thanks | |
| Help with finding a new streamer. To get the digital ball rolling I bought a Pro-Ject Stream box, Ultra 2 I think it's called. I bought it for a few reasons. It gets out of the way. Ethernet cat 6 hardwired to modem and it can do hi-res, Spotify, Tidal and q=obuz. After trying all... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? You folks are awesome - thanks for all the responses. Yes a sub is being considered. Which I am unsure but REL looks promising Yes Totems are sitting with the factory feet, or claws as they call them And yes I’m asking for a lot from a 5.5" woofer... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? @decooney Thanks and yes toe in is not necessary on the Hawks. I think I have them in an optimal position, although I keep moving them closer and further to the back wall - too close and the bass gets "bloomy". What surprises me about these speake... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? Thanks @hleeid. To answer your question the space is 14' wide by 28' long, roughly half living room and half dining room the Totem's fire down the long axis....after rearranging everything. It was not this way before and this is a big improvement.... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? Oh I've been playing with speaker positioning alright. I just last night moved them closer to the front wall (2 feet instead of 3 feet). The bass response is improved. My listening space (my Living Room) looks across the Hudson River and the Palis... |
