| "I am there" vs. "They are here" I have a 7' Steinway B sitting behind my speaker plane, set as a 7.5' nearfield triangle. Whereas "I'm there" somewhat often with orchestral sources, all too often pianists (and their jazz trios) "are here". I can even jiggle with my separate Pass... | |
| Aerial 10T Beware Aeriel had a really hard time getting their local box-maker to make bass cabinet clones precisely enough, so finally gave up and sources them from Scandinavia. Hence another (large) contributant to the price jump. | |
| Differences between small vs. large mid driver Andy, it'd be easy to write a book about this, and I'm 2-finger typer on a damned French keyboard on vacation in Grenoble, so I gotta keep it short...plus I'm not the expert here.Driver diameter is chosen to balance many needs. Generally, the larg... | |

| Sagging power cable at IEC outlet - any remedies? I've tested several batches of Schurter and Wattgate IEC320s. The Wattgates have an average separation force of 16 pounds; the Schurter only 4 lbs. I use the Schurter for lighter-weight PCs for source components, but the WattGates for heavier PCs ... | |
| Power Cord Burn-In PC burn-in is more a function of insulative dielectric potential stabilization (oh brother). Cheap PCs using nylon or PVC insulation have more "curing" to do than those using air or fluorocarbons. That said, curing can be done electrically or ther... | |
| Does an aftermarket power cord matters for Amp? Hi guys. Am vacationing around Grenoble, having wasted WAY too much time checking out euro PCs, and their guts at various sources. FINALLY found a good all-brass EC male AC plug I respect (even the 1k EURO siltech uses a chrome-plated male AC!), s... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer In my separate HT system I was looking for musicality AND forgiveness of brightish commercial movie soundtracks, so a front trio of Spendors (S3/1p and matching SC3) works extraordinarily well. I found a great deal on a Boston PV1000 (Velo clone) ... | |
| Suggestions: Sonus Faber, Monitor Audio, Elac etc? I would caution that you ensure that your seated listening height is appropriate for short floorstanders, as those deep crossover nulls appear just above axis. So if you're on the tall side plan to sit on a British style low sofa!Many small floors... | |

| Standing vs. Seated-Big Difference in Bass??? ...but be careful that one of YOU aren't moving out next! | |
| Is this rude? Nice thread. I just finished getting all newbie-educated and in an obsessive high-energy curve bought a couple of kayaks. As a reseller of used Subarus in a one-person business, I try to be completely transparent with my potential customers, and e... | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Whoa! Soundstaging depth is predominantly the purview of room geometry and listening position. If you set up a fairly small triangle with lots of space behind the speaker plane you have the potential for a VERY deep stage.If not, then only subtle ... | |
| Standing vs. Seated-Big Difference in Bass??? Uh...also exacerbated by the big suckout in the upper mids/low treble when you stand up into the "crossover null" cancellation of the mid and tweeter, allowing your ear/brain to PERCEIVE more bass. Almost all the bass you hear is reflected energy,... | |
| Got my very first system. What's my next move? ENJOY THE MUSIC! In addition, go to lots of live acoutic events, thus allowing you to carefully optimize speaker placement and room damping toward the holy grail. Some attention to dedicated lines and better AC delivery may be helpful too. RSVP if... |
