| GCPH straight to Power Amps? The Pro-Ject Tube Box SE 11 has gotten better reviews and is $699. And it has TUBES in it. [I assume your appellation indicates interest in same.] | |
| Quad ESL owners question I am a former user of Quad 57s and 63s and currently own Apogee Duetta Signatures but the speakers I am listening to now are SP-1s. The S5e is the product of a different design team entirely. I bought Spendor originally because of a review in STUD... | |
| What is with B&W these days? soundbars, ipod doc.. If you are a small company you have the luxury of making only those products you want to sell. If you are a large company you have to also make the products people want to buy. As long as this does not compromise the quality of your audiophile pro... | |
| Problem with phase What you did was to reverse the ABSOLUTE phase, which can be important but which, as the others pointed out, does not address your problem. | |
| Subwoofer or Bi-Amp? Bi Amping will improve the sound of your system within its present frequency range but, unless you are using a grossly inadequate amp, will not increase the frequency range of the speaker. It may better utilize that range, but to extend the range ... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing Allow me to paraphrase the great mathematician David Hilbert. There is no conflict between HT and music reproduction, there will be no conflict between HT and music reproduction, there CAN be no conflict between HT and music reproduction because t... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing 9rw, don't bother with the HT crowd, they live in their own world. One of them told me what my two REL Stadium subs sounded like, even tho he had never heard one. Logic told him. Another told me how high their distortion is. For a real laugh look ... | |
| Musical Fidelity NU-VISTA M3 VS KW500 I use the M3 and am very happy with it. I chose it over the 500 on the basis of the fact that has fewer output devices and therefore a simpler circuit while having enough power for any conceivable use I might have. I also liked the gold front whic... | |
| woofer combo & alignments: on large vs few small The bigger woofer does not have to move as far, but has a harder time moving at the same time, the smaller woofer has an easier time moving as a unit but a harder time maintaining this as it has a longer distance to travel. The enormous research i... | |
| What do you consider when setting crossover freqs? You are dealing with 2 curves and the idea is to blend them so that the result is a flat line. Not possible but that is what you are aiming for. For example, if the main speaker is -3db at 60Hz you would set the subs crossover at a point that woul... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? I have been using turntables for 46 years and have been a dealer for more of them than I can readily remember. I don't have the faintest idea on how to advise you. Not because I don't know anything about them but because the others are right, ther... | |
| how long to break in a power conditioner? I think everyone has had the experience of their system sounding wonderful [and terrible] on occasion. If you continue to use the conditioner and don't get the same sound then probably the conditioner was not the cause of the better sound. It does... | |
| CES update 2009 If it were a perfect speaker nothing would change but the volume. In the world we actually inhabit some sound wonderful at low to moderate volume [LS35A for example] and others only sound good when they are cranked up. It's another of the many cho... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing vs. Downward Firing Have you tried playing "The World Turned Upside Down" on it? | |
| Bi-amping via Y-cables sound quality When I was doing this I had XLO make me a set of y connectors. Signal Cable or Morrow or others would undoubtedly do it . It is worth the expense if you are using good cable elsewhere. |
