| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? OK... I did move the speakers; I didn't have alot of room to play with, but now, at a distance of 30" from the wall, rather than 10", the bass is much more defined. In fact, it sounds pretty darned good on well-recorded cds. The sounds-stage is de... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Bob-- Thanks. Interesting point, which I'll keep in mind. For now, my goal is to see what can be done with the current set-up. If nothing works, then I'll certainly consider changing speakers or amp. | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? BOB: My understanding is that Alan Yun designs his speakers with tube amplification in mind. At least I've read that somewhere-- that's not a direct quote from him. As for the room, it's an "open plan", so the livingroom where speakers are located... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? I will explore all suggestions. Although I have only so much flexibility to move speakers, there is some wiggle room. I've e-mailed Alan Yun at Silverline and will get to work experimenting with room treatments and footers first before moving on t... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Cwlondon-- was that "good luck" with my speakers or "good luck" with my marriage??? ;o)Musiclug-- I will try brass!RE: speaker cable and power cords, my speaker cable is 20', so upgrading it significantly will, I'm guessing, cost a good deal more ... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Rcprince-- I tried moving speakers 4" further away from back wall-- seemed to make a difference. Will experiment further. | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? By tightening, I mean more focused. I don't have much room to play with re; speaker placement, unfortunately. They are located in corner formed by back wall and hearth. Back back of speaker = 10" from wall, side of speaker, about 13" from sidewall. | |
| Affordable interconnect for warm system Thanks to all; I'm sorry that work and grad school have kept me from responding sooner. I do appreciate your suggestions! | |
| Affordable interconnect for warm system TVAD, I tried the IC3-SE first. | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadorne,I appreciate your description of the advantages/disadvantages of horn speakers. As I have very little flexibility re: placement, it sounds as though they might not be the best choice.Thanks for your input. | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadorne, I should've clarified that ideally, I'd prefer to keep my Creek and just swap out speakers. Thanks to all who suggested speakers-- I will start to research recommendations The Zu's are very appealing, due to their return policy, but will... | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Robr45, I need about 30 inches | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Shadome, it appears, from a quick search of used gear on audiogon, that what you suggest would greatly exceed my budget. Jaybo, do you have any particular speakers in mind? | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? Dcstep, I've been told that Alan Yun, Silverline audio speaker designer, particularly recommended Belles ... at least until he began building his own amps! My dealer is just now starting to carry Belles (I will be his first Belles buyer) and was u... | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? Wow! Seems this thread has now entered the realm of philosophy! Naturally, the following question arises: If a component goes through a break-in process but audiophiles are too busy debating whether break-in is "real" to pay attention... then what... |
