| Best sounding SACD disc? Quite often I use the "4 Generations of Miles" disk to demo to my friends. Even the ones that aren't jazz fans can appreciate the sound and music. | |
| Fake plants behind speakers a good idea? I don't know what type of speakers that you have, but many maggie users, utilize silk ficus trees behind their speakers for diffraction. Contrary to what beavis says, the do apparently work. | |
| good recordings of Bob Marley I wouldn't say that they are "Audiophile" grade, but being a huge Marley fan, I generally stick with the Tuff Gong releases or the remasters of them. I've been burned by so many others, as there are a scores of questionable recordings of this grea... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Peter_s, I fdund this while browsing around.http://www.behringer.com/ECM8000/index.cfm?lang=ENG | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. You're ok with the questions, how else are you gonna find out. I use the Stereophile Test Disc 3. It has High/Mid/Lows. Make sure that you obtain the correction values for that meter. I wish I could tell you where I got 'em, but I forgot. Just goo... | |
| Magnepan 3.6R biamp crossover I would definately go with an active crossove. No matter what parts you upgrade your passive one with, it won't likely match an active one. I would look for the Marchand, Behringer, DBX DriveRack?, or others. Start with two amps (1 on mid/tweeter,... | |
| carpet under speakers? I think that what you are asking about is a little square of carpet under the speakers, and not the entire floor. Well, it does protect the floor, and also there is a possiblity that if you use discs under spikes on bare floor, the will be some bu... | |
| Graphic Equalizer --Ugh I agree with Eldartford. I suspect that some of the "reliability" issues with Behringer were older units that were abused on the road. In your situation I can't see you having any problems. Also, Dirtyraggamuffin, what company doesn't have suspect... | |
| Why aren't component active XOs more popular? I have the Behringer active crossover. It made a world of difference with my maggie 3.5's. However, it was a very time consuming process to dial everything in just right. In the end it was weel worth it. | |
| NAD 3140 - I know nothing I actualyy own this amp. I used to have a manual, but seem to have lost it in a move. I believe that it is rated at 35-40 Watts into 8 ohms. I only used it as a pre-amp for the time it was in my system. I plan on taking it out of storage as soon a... | |
| Eagles Concert Guitar Player Don't know, but it sure was great in widesceen high-def. If only the Indy 500 was... | |
| Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi I agree whole heartedly with Hack. I have a 2 year old, and from the time he was born, I have always made it a point to listen to ALL kinds of music every day with him. He danced before he walked. My father is the one who got me into Jazz and Mowt... | |
| Does anyone do good protest music anymore? I'd mention some rap acts, but all I've read here is how all of you hate rap. | |
| from 87db to 90 db ? I'm not positive, but I think an active crossover may raise the sensitivity. | |
| Magnepan Speakers - Ribbon Replacement The number one killer of maggie ribbons is a clipping under-powered amp. My 3.5's are over 10 years old, and I've never had a problem...and by the way I listen to them loud. |
