| What are the best subwoofers to use with Magnepan 20.1s? Subwoofers DO make a positive difference with Maggies! I know, I use two Rel G2's with my 20.7's. The primary purpose for using subs with Maggies is not for the reason you might be thinking; more, deeper bass. My Maggies go down to approx 27 hz... | |
| Receiver for Klipschorn Home Theater I've been keeping a lookout for a used Belle Klipsch; agree that would make a really good center | |
| Receiver for Klipschorn Home Theater Makes sense; I will probably end up getting a good Klipsch Center. Any thoughts on a really good receiver? | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? Interesting points and views. All that I can say is that I liked ARC MUCH more when it was a stand alone company, designing and selling great audio electronics for music lovers. Why is it a good idea to have an Italian based corporation owning lo... | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration All the walls will be double layers 5/8" sheetrock with green glue between the sheets.Ceiling is 11' high and will be subdivided into six partitions; the partitions or soffit that forms them will hold the HVAC and lighting. | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration I am thinking floor joists on 12" centers are a idefinite requirement. I am not sure what the building code requires but since the room is fairly large at 22' x 29', 12" centers would seem reasonable.I don't care for the OSB subflooring myself, ... | |
| Treating Floor in New Construction - Reducing Footfall and Vibration Actually I am considering putting hardwood on the front (speaker end) ten feet of the room and carpet on the remaining 19 ft.I have considered taking a hard look at cork; what brand/type did you use? I have read that cork has good sound character... | |
| Horn Speakers and Sub Woofers I have two REL-328's and one REL G-2. I am going to experiment with these subs with the KHorns in my dedicated room before moving the Horns into the living room. All I want is some decent low-end augmentation and LFE for Movies. My dedicated ro... | |
| RCA Interconnects - Max Length Good points. So, assuming that your pre has a relatively low output impedance, that the cable's capacitance is very low and it's well shielded, and that the pre and mono-blocks are on individual dedicated lines that are on the same phase and polar... | |
| Gold or Rhodium One option is to use some of each; say use the Gold on the sources and pre and then switch to rhodium for the mono-blocks and subs.... Obsessive I know; but that's one reason why I love this hobby! (It's more a lifestyle for me than a hobby). I re... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Did not notice the Dohmann; haven't heard of that brand/model. Who makes that. How long have you had the Raven? What arm are you using? | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Atlanta | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT You are correct, only the Limited model of the Sparta was in play and the Sparta .5 was only on display. I am making the 'leap of faith' that all three models would sound very similar overall with each move up in the line just more of everything g... | |
| Gold or Rhodium I'm leaning towards the Gold version. However I might use two of the Rhodium versions for my REL subs, then Gold for each of the Monoblocks, and Hovland pre. | |
| Magnepan 20.7 - Ten Feet or More Into a Room? Last year I added two REL 328 subs and they have really moved my rig to the next level. Bass from the 20's is very good but I was always missing that last little bit of energy from the mid-bass down. The mid-bass and down was tuneful, articulate, ... |
