| Front- vs. Down-Firing Subs and Amp Issue "If sealed has the upper hand, why aren't more subs sealed?"Well, I don't know...what is the ratio between the two types? Also, when he says ported will play louder...I'm wondering if he means (louder with less power needed) and not louder overall... | |
| Front- vs. Down-Firing Subs and Amp Issue Well, my subs use 15"/12" active along with a 15" passive...I guess that puts them in the vented camp and I don't hear any problems...but, this is what Sean had to say in another post regarding the advantages of a sealed sub:"The one advantage tha... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? Hi JoeYou problems as I see them:You will need at least 3' placement from the wall...more would be even better.You will need at least 6' between the panels, the panels are 28" wide each. This places us around 1' from each side wall if we use the 1... | |
| Have Pre/Power amps had there day? I don't think so, integrated only works if your happy with the preamp and the amp in the unit...audiophiles like to explore so integrated is not for everyone.Also, while there are higher power units on the market as you mention...in the larger pic... | |

| is it an upgrade or just fun? Geez Mike, hell of a fall. Was it one of the auto plants? I know you said you were on the roof of my old plant (Pontiac East, Truck&Bus) at one time.I've found that I'm not only a music lover but just as much an audiophile...all audiophiles ar... | |
| Dipole rear speakers ??? "what are the advantage of dipole surround speakers ?"Dipoles offer a more defuse soundfield...this could be usefull if the rear speakers must be placed near the listening area so as not to draw attention.They are usually placed at the sides of th... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? TreljaI'll guess that we are not talking 95-100db peaks.The Stage Mini Grand are out for those levels, the much larger Duetta Signatures will play very loud but are limited by their two way design as the mid/hi-freq ribbon will begin to do a wild ... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? Rgs92I have listened to the VMPS products, one of the bigger VMPS dealers is very near my home. I also own some older VMPS speakers and Sub (not hybrid).I think they sound very good and are a good choice for someone without the extra room that man... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand? No I have not Richard. As I mentioned to Mike above, I do know someone that does own that amp along with Duetta Signatures. I should mention that he is in the process of trying some other amps at this time...I do not know if it is because he is un... | |
