| What a difference curtains make...WOW Now try putting some GIK corner traps (or 244 panels) in the corners of your room to absorb the boomy low end and report back. | |
| How many 'listen outside of the box' design? All recorded music is recorded through a box speaker, so what you are listening to is "box speaker music" coming out of your non-box speakers. Get it? Even that live music concert that you so desperately want to reproduce at home is coming at you ... | |
| Is my room too small I used to have the Jr.s in my 15x12 room. They sounded just fine, but I have GIK bass traps in the corners, and they make a HUGE difference. | |
| tube cd player vs solid state I've had several SS players, but now have a tube player and it's not going anywhere. Big difference to my ears. | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Channel Islands D-200 user here. They sound just as good as my previous amp, run WAY cooler and weigh a lot less. My previous amp was a Pass Labs X250.5 | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I'm using the Goldenote Stibbert. It sounds wonderful. I can listen to albums or CD's and not feel the need to compare them. | |
| PS Audio GCPH mod vs. Heed Quasar I have not tried the PS Audio unit, but I have the Quasar and not once have I had the desire to upgrade to anything else. I love the Quasar. I would like to audition some of Heed's other gear, but there's nobody close to me that sells it. I do hig... | |
| Modernists Unite, or: saying no to room treatment I'll take a treated room over a non-treated room any day of the week. Can you say "bass buildup" or "reflective surfaces"? | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Aether Audio | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? My room is 10x15x8 and I had a pair of Von Schwiekert VR4MK2 speakers in there and they sounded great. The catch to using large speakers in a small room is room treatment. Bass traps are your friend. | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? The word "natural" is probably the best way to describe the 3.0 speakers. Everything is balanced so well. Almost every other monitor I've tried seemed to favor certain frequencies, where the 3.0's seem to favor all frequencies, in a very musical w... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Phusis, I haven't heard the Raidho so I can't make a comparison, but the Timepiece sound so natural and they go really low when it's needed. Never strident, and I've never experienced any listener fatigue. They are the most "musical" speakers I've... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? I'm perfectly happy with my SP Technology (now Aether Audio) Timepiece 3.0 monitors. | |
| Bass trap in a difficult corner Don't forget the corners where your walls meet the ceiling (all the way across the wall, not just in the upper corners). If you don't have room in a standard corner, put your traps up high. The GIK traps work very nice. | |
| Speakers that disappear Check out Aether Audio. |
