| Funniest sales pitch I nearly pissed my pants when one of my friends sent me the link to the wedding dress auction. A prize winner, for sure. | |

| No Volume Swing -- help Both Rich and Raquel are correct. High gain pre-amp may require attenuating the gain on the amp. The fixed attenuators like the Rothwell, which I have used, do not have any significant impact on sound quality. | |
| Can someone explain how this could happen? I think its Satan, conjured up by too many drugs. | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? Well, I never heard the Who in an indoor venue, but for my money, the loudest I ever heard (made me leave, the only time that ever happened) was Mahavishnu Orchestra ca. 1971 in CT. My ears hurt even now, thinking about it (and my brain cries out,... | |
| No Volume Swing -- help If you are saying that at the one o'clock position on your pre, the volume is VERY loud, then that's no real surprise, if the fully attenuated position is, say about 7 o'clock or so. Will depend quite a bit on how efficient your speakers are, and ... | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? Ellery- That sounds more realistic (25K watts) for a modern stadium show. And the Dead sound quailty was often in another league compared to their peers!! | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? inpenin- I agree with your comment on intuition. Point made. However, I do not believe that allowing a speaker to move freely in space (even a small amount) is beneficial to good sound. I must admit I will NOT hang my 90 lb Merlins from the ceilin... | |
| What sub do "U" use ? I am using a pair of Vandersteen 2Ws right now, with Fostex single driver mains. They don't have much deep bass anyways, and they integrate VERY VERY well. Sometimes I end up checking to make sure that they are actually on. | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? The movement of the enclosure will indeed be small, but given the generally universally accepted goal of rigidly mounting speakers, why in the world would you hang them in space, to let them move (swing) on their own? Imagine a recording with bass... | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? Thank you Wade- Its been over 30 years since I studied any physics. I was just guessing on which law. I'll gladly take you word for it. | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. One idea you might consider is to get a McCormack HT-3 (I think that is the model) its a 3 channel amp which you can use for mains (for music) and center (most impt for movies). You can use the surrounds from your HT reciever and upgrade the McCor... | |
| Help What is this Mystery Old Tube Amp photo is inaccessible w/o access code. | |
| Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show Zippyy- check out the Vandersteen web site; I suspect that there is a white paper on this. I am pretty sure there is a discussion in the Model 3 owners manual, which may be available to download as a pdf. |
