| Rocket RSC 200 center or Vienna Acoustics? Well the rocket has a vertical mount tweet and mid which is a step in the right direction for proper dispersion. Also they use a aluminum bass driver so they might match closer to what you have. I would lean towards the Rocket for these reasons. O... | |
| Rocket RSC 200 center or Vienna Acoustics? Match your speakers with the same brands at the very least. Anything else will be a compromise. Save you money. Enjoy the summer. Do it right for the fall/winter. | |
| dual subs.....how & where to install? This is a highly debated subject. You are correct, most subs are detectable even at low frequency. Hearing is not the only thing at play here. First off I would suggest lowering your cut off frequency down to 30Hz since your Studios are 3db down a... | |
| Processor Recs If you plan on using any number of Meridian DSP speakers in a multi-channel system you will need a Meridian processor. | |
| CD sound quality Sure can. Do a search on "best CD players" or "budget CD players". | |
| need advice on refinishing speakers. Do's & Don'ts It's going to be real tough to get rid of all the black. Since they are veneer you risk sanding through the top layer. Plan on working about 5x what you think it will take and use a dark stain because I bet you can't get all the black out of the c... | |
| NHT T-6 speaker placement In your case I think I would go for the ceiling placement. Staircase location sounds like it might get kicked or damaged. Stair carpet will muffle the sound. Bar location will reflect sound causing imbalance in surround speakers. Bar occupants mig... | |
| Klipsch spkrs with Atmosphere amp Essential: I forgot the new S-30 Layout was like the M-60. I had the old S-30, cool looking amp, odd set-up.Fatparrot: Correct, I am talking about the thermal warm-up. I would say it took a good 15-20 minutes before the amp got quiet. It's not a d... | |
| Klipsch spkrs with Atmosphere amp A couple things I didn't like about the S-30 was the odd shape won't fit on any standard rack. I do like the looks however. Cabling is also odd in that its inputs are on the front and outputs on the back. It really needs to be placed between the s... | |
| Klipsch spkrs with Atmosphere amp With 104 db/watt probably pretty damn good! | |
| Speakers that sound good in tight spots? You might look at british speaker brands. They design a lot of speakers for up against wall "tight space" applications. Check UK sites and magazines. | |
| PMC Speakers:"Best Buy"or just another speaker? I checked the website. I have never heard of them before. Transmission line design has been around a long time and can be used to good effect. It is nothing new though. You can certainly audition them and decide for yourself. Re-sale may be more d... | |
| Newbee about Ceramic tube socket Partsconnexion has lots of diy parts. I am sure there are others as well.http://www.partsconnexion.com/An easy upgrade would be tubes. Try Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Upgrading my tubes was like getting a new piece of gear.http://vintagetubeser... | |
| Matching the center channel to the fronts Shadorne makes an excellent suggestion. There are threads that discuss the topic of "no center channel" in more depth. Check them out. If you are primarily interested in 2-channel then moving up the line for your R/L speakers makes sense. You can ... | |
| Subwoofer solutions. If you had one sub in the armoir before than that may work for you again. If the armoir is closed it will be out of sight which can be a plus. When I do home theater designs, I usually try and place the sub near the center channel and get it as we... |
