| Rotel RB 1070 from Elite Receiver Big Difference? I would want an amp rated at least 175-200 watts/ 8 ohm...long term satisfaction is very important IMO. Adding a dedicated amp to the receivers pre outs, takes a lot of the load off of the receivers power supply....this can only be a good thing.Th... | |
| Is J River MC 12 slow for you too? I'll second the Windows 7 plug...I like it a lot. (and I'm a Linux guy mostly).Dave | |
| Subwoofer beginner question? Yes, try a 15-18" sub.....or more subs.Dave | |
| Counterpoint DA-11 - Genesis Dig. Lens - DA-10 Dac No, your not imagining the very good sound you are hearing...the old Counterpoint DAC, does have an "more analog and natural" sound quality. (I had one, until around two years ago).Mine went to Japan when I sold it, they are in demand over there. ... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano ShadorneI agree with you:"You guys are on to something - how to make a grand piano sound real in a room that is not big enough for a grand piano. It seems we all missed the obvious...it just ain't possible. The room is a good 50% of what you hear.... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano NewbeeThats pretty much what I was thinking, I would be inclined to think that a pair of small subs placed on the side walls, just in front of the mains, could work well in that room?30hz is plenty deep for piano...and that could be filtered a few... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano PlaserSubwoofers were around long before home theater made them popular to the masses.Rel, Martin Logan, Audio Concepts Inc, Sunfire....lots of others make, or have made smaller subwoofers. I have to be honest...my subwoofers are huge. (but my roo... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano DetlofNo, you didn't step on my toes at all, no problem (we are all trying to help, and usually with somewhat limited info)...I guess I just don't find subwoofers, that complicated an animal to tame. Dave | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano PlaserMy suggestions relate to the room you are in now, and the components you are using now...and not the room you are going to build (which I know nothing about).I also don't know when you plan on moving to your new home. The intent is to get yo... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano DetlofI have 4 subwoofers, 2 fullrange speaker systems, and 40 years experience. I hope that doesn't sound like bragging?...but I wasn't using theory in my post.Dave | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Simply moving the speakers another 2ft or so forward, and adding a couple of small subwoofers, behind, or just forward of the main speakers would probably get the poster, a large step within his goal in that room.Plenty of small subs will do 30hz ... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Good points Newbee. I was at a friends home a while back...checking out his basement refinish job. I had my grand daughter with me, and she spotted his drum set at one end of the room.She asked him to play them...so he did (he is very good!) That ... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Well, if you are going to build a larger, and dedicated sound room, that changes things greatly.I would build a room at least 16'-20' wide. IMO, anything less is a compromise.I would also go with double wall construction...lots of bass trapping be... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Your room is a little on the small side for huge fullrange dipoles, or I would suggest that route.Still, could be a couple that will "mostly work"...(they lack only the deepest bass).These go against the side walls, with the slots facing each othe... | |
| Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical? Because you are are going to be using the subs, for more than just the bottom octave with your monitors...I would go with two of the exact same subs. You ear may pick up on any tone differences between the two subs.If you were only going to use th... |
