| How grills affect? In regards to Garfish's comment: yes, check the manual for the specific speakers. Someone with a pair of B&W Nautilus series; comfirm that B&W actually recommends removing the grills for serious listening. I can swear I read that when I wa... | |
| How grills affect? I leave the grills on. Softens the highs just a hint. It is enough to reduce listener fatigue on less then ideal recordings and that occasional digital edginess. | |
| Speaker Cable Choice? You should try bi-wiring the 601s. If you don't want to bi-wire, then at the very least replace those brass jumpers with a small run of the same or similar speaker cable. Decent "jumpers" are made by Analysis Plus at all grades for cable.For not a... | |
| split sub signal out of preamp to use 2 subs? Based on what you are trying to do, I would say one good quality sub is better than two cheap ones.Two subs are clearly better than one, only if you were able to run stereo subs (each sub playing a separate channel). You could run stereo subs, but... | |
| Which is better Arcam 85 or Creek 5350Se From the various responses, the conclusion as always is to demo them, and decide for yourself which one you like better. You have narrowed it down to two. These forums are good for getting suggestions. We have probably gotten you as far as we can. | |

| Receivers 500 and under? The Outlaw is a Home Theater receiver. Sounds like you are interested in audio. Give the NAD receivers a listen. I would think you would get a much better FM tuner section with the NAD. The amplifier section should be cleaner, because it does not ... | |
| Suggestion for buying and selling on the site When you go into a car dealer and tell the salesperson you want a new car, do you want those words to be legally binding, and you have to buy one before your leave the dealership? (They try to make you feel that way).I've had sellers vanish in the... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object What has always puzzled me, is many SACDs are remixes of old recordings; some dating back to the 1940s and 1950s. The original source can't be up to modern recording media, so are we really hearing the original recording, or has someone like Georg... | |
| Help with purchase of power conditioner Those switches (two of them) on the Vansevers Reference conditioners that "don't do anything" are transient impedance switches. They are for tweeking the transients of the high and mid treble. It is one of those things you won't notice right away,... |
