| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Eldartford- Is that because of the much larger radiating area? If so, then the low efficiency/sensitivity specs for planars may be deceptive. Not that that would necessarily change their appetite for lots of current, but amp matching might be a li... | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? Blindjim ain't bad either ;~). Are you? | |
| Holy Crap What have I done? Aggie- What John is suggesting is essentially the same approach as the Vandersteen 2WQ. i.e, roll off the bass signal to the main amp with a capacitor/filter and let the main amp and main speakers cover a smaller range. The subwoofer is fed from t... | |
| I have HD & plasma - recommendations on AVR Agree with Rubeunt. You might want to consider a higher end 2 channel pre & amp with HT pass through and stick with your AV rcvr for now. IMO a great display and decent audio is more than acceptable for HT, where critical listening is usually ... | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Duke- you have said it all. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together so clearly for all of us. That is one posts that should be put into an FAQ. Anyone from Audigon listening/monitoring? | |
| Please Help I would definately go one box at that price range, eliminating the need for a digital cable and maybe even a de-jitter device and additional digital cable. At that price there are lots of good options. are we talking DVD/CD or CD only or Universal... | |
| Oldie, but A'gon newbie, seeks your advice Northwoods- are you going to buy used or new? What don't you like about your current gear? Do you subscribe to the wires is wires school, or do you plan to budget a moderate amount for i/cs and speaker cables commensurate with your gear? Please sp... | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker Speaker efficiency or sensitivity refers to ability to produce a certain sound pressure level with a certain input signal at a certain distance, typically measured in #dB/1watt signal/1 meter distance. A high eff speaker would typically be conside... | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? John- Either you have a very highly charged personality ;~) or the pre must have been defective. During dry days this winter I get a little static "snap" when I touch a switch on the front panel nothing through the speakers, thats for sure. Too ba... | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? I have never heard the top of line BAT, CJ, or Thor pre-amps you are talking about, but I will tell you the Fplanner2000 knows what he is talking about. I have just added a VAC Ren Mk2 pre to my system, and it is amazing. Micro-dynamics and detail... | |
| DENON DP-47F info needed Pretty sure this requires a proprietary headshell. | |
| Newbie question re: remote speaker wiring If you are taking the signal from the main outs it probably cuts off any signal to the inboard amps. | |
| Affordable anti-jitter device Second the DIP. | |
| headphones grado rs1 or sennheiser650 or 600 VERY different sound. Lots of detailed reviews on head-fi.org. Most folks like or the other. | |
| Used carts for trial MM/hi-MC...got one? I have an Sumiko Alchemist HO MC cart that has been sitting unused for quite some time. If that floats your boat, you can give it a spin and if it works, we can work something out. Email me direct off-thread for details. |
