| Any George Winston fans to make suggestions? Tylenol PM may be a little quicker.... | |
| TAS's recommended speakers under 2500 Just bought the Spendor SP3/1P (6.5" with Scan 1", vented), to get more bottom than the 3/5. Why does everyone ignore this speaker? | |
| Spendor SP3/1P vs. Monitor Audio GR 10? I just bought a rosewood pair of SP3/1P and a black SC3 top match. Now need wall-mountable, spouse-friendly surrounds!JM Labs Chorus 700 might do it if the Scan tweeters can stand to have the Focal Tioxids 15 feet away! | |
| Neutral preamps Aleph P a 3rd time! | |
| "Used"Revel F-30 or AP's Virgo II: Better Value? Chel...You're probably right about the Revel's abundant bass being tougher to tame, esp in a bad room. But your comment about their ugliness gave me a smile: I was about to buy them when my wife gave me the nix: "too California cartoonish!"So I ha... | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? Bryans,I'm just being snide re my experiences working for a medical instrument manufacturer just north of Paris in the 80s. The LAST thing you want from Southern European manufacturers in particular is a low-serial number item after a redesign, as... | |
| What should I upgrade next? Zaikesman...thanks for your great elucidation of what I was clumsily delineating.KT88...OF COURSE it's GIGO, but in absolute physical terms(freq response, coherence, temporal/phase stuff) that are readily discerned, there is MUCH greater variabili... | |
| Silver Speaker Wire Recommendations? Hmmm?I found the 803's recessed midrange and hot tweeter to be ESPECIALLY problematic with silver cables. Sure you don'y want a sweeter design? Or is your amp that rolled-off?Harm Tech Pro-Silways or Siltech ST48b are wide open and thus will proba... | |
| What should I upgrade next? I was very hesitant to post here, as I'm usually unsure which end of the chain (the TRANSDUCERS!) to change first. But I'm damned-sure it shouldn't be the amp! I'd lived with those same big NAD amps for 10 years, and borrowed an Audio Refinement C... | |
| "Used"Revel F-30 or AP's Virgo II: Better Value? I heartily agree with Lokil.You'll have your hands VERY full maneuvering these full-range guys around to try to smooth out large bottom-end non-linearities in your "too-cubic" room.Start with a nearfield setup in a tight triangle to keep those woo... | |
| What causes "cupped hands"? I'll further add that I 've found that the cuppiness relates to a mild peak around 800-1k with 5" drivers. Similar peaks around 600Hz with 6.5- 7" mids CAN sound flatter. It's part of the reason designing (and integrating) a GREAT 3-way with a 5" ... | |
| What causes "cupped hands"? I like Tim's suggestion re setting up an equi-tri first.I also found that 5" midranges USUALLY sound "cuppier" than 6-7" midranges, all other things being equal. Something to do with 2-pi/4-pi stuff and resultant non-linearities with cabinet edge-... | |
| IC's for Electrocompaniet EMC1 I started with Red Dawn (RCA) and then Pro-Silways MkII (XLR) both of which were too lean with the EMC-1. I then tried HT Truth-Link (balanced) which were too rolled off up top. All this makes sense....I then tried Siltech ST48 (or whatever), and ... | |
| Selection of cd player under 5000 used for... How about an EMC-1 MkII? | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? This thread's request for "out of the box" first impressions seems to invite chaos, with somewhat masochistic yearnings as a consequence.After running QA for a high-tech laboratory instrument manufacturer in France for more than 14 years I'd be su... |
