| How critical is placement for Vandy 2 ce Sig. ? Thanks for all your responses. I need to have my room analyzed first. I will also check out the Vandersteen website FAQ section and see if the local dealer will allow me to demo a paiur at home. Frankly, I've never found llistening to speakers at ... | |
| How critical is placement for Vandy 2 ce Sig. ? OK-- I guess I'd better demo them in the room-- thanks! | |
| Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths Slaw3, I just got off the phone with Robert, per your suggestion and have decided to definitely demo his cables. Joeyboynj, your referenece to using Mapleshade for a surround system is a bit of a red flag for me. In fact, the Mapleshade website de... | |
| Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths Slaw3, thanks for that correction re: lengths at Audioart. I will call them. Somec59/Tgrisham, I'm not typically an electronics DIY'er, and as I'm currently in grad-school, I don't have the time. Nevertheless, I do appreciate your suggestions. At ... | |
| Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths Thanks for your suggestions. I need long (30 foot) runs and audioart only lists up to 12 foot runs on their site, Slaw3. Cincy_bob, I have contacted Morrow about the question of long runs, am waiting for a response. I also spoke with Paul at Clear... | |
| Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths Somec59, I hate overly bright sound! My amp is quite "warm' for a s. state, however, and I could do with a bit more clarity. What are you using for amplification? | |
| Anti-cables VS. River Cable/cable lengths Thanks Cincy_bob, for your input on both questions. What other cables have you compared with the Morrows in your decision-making process? | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Tvad:Yeah, I guess I figured that as the Q10 uses both copper and silver it would likely not push the sound of the system too far in either a dark or bright direction, but this is just a guess on my part. The reviews I've read of the Q10 state tha... | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Nice to hear some votes of confidence for the DH, but Tvad, I will look into the Ramelectronics stuff as well. | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Tvad: Jeff At Value Audio states that the combined guage of the DH Q10 is 10, hence the designation, Q10. As I'm not a do-it-yourself-er, my tendency is to go with the Q10 rather than buying bulk cable and terminating it myself. The Q10 seems to a... | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Sean,Your remarks are way over my head, unfortunately. The DH Labs Q10 uses a pair of 12 guage wire and a pair of 14 guage wire within one jacket. I don't know how this compares with your suggestion of 4X14 guage "spiral wrapped star quad design".... | |
| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? Thanks for the ideas! | |
| Cable suggestions for new system? Tvad: "cable lending library"? Never heard of that-- just another example of why audiogon is so valuable. Thanks, Tvad! Does anyone have experience with the low-cost Cobalt cables??????? | |
| Cable suggestions for new system? Ryder: actually, to my very treble-sensitive ears the Creek amp is not bright at all, in combination with the Rotel. With these components, I wouldn't want to use a less detailed speaker than the B&W's.Thorman and Tvad: I will look into your c... | |
| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? JTgofish, Hammergjh: thanks for your comments. I hadn't thought to check whether the speakers are wired in or out of phase. Will do. As far as cd's go, my ears are painfully aware that cd's vary ridiculously in terms of quality. IMO, there's no ex... |
