| Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers Bob, You are correct, sealed woofers do roll off @ 12db per octave. My fingers are faster than my head. Everything else is accurate. I have built several woofers in my time. The best we did back in my old SpeakerCraft/Marcof days was a woofer faci... | |
| Some of the best pre amps used for $600 or less Every preamp on here is a winner in its own right and as stated earlier, not on any one piece, but most of these you could resell at a minimum loss if any. I suggest to buy one and start the hunt. | |
| Sealed vs Ported Subwoofers There is no better..... but You can certainly prefer one over the other and there are implications of one being better over an extended period of time. If a ported driver is ported correctly, it will be acoustically flat. If a sealed driver is in ... | |
| PC Audio with Cambridge 740c I don't know the 740's DAC, but Wav files, followed by FLAC | |
| Used amplifier/preamp combo for $2,000-$3,000 Even though I recommended Coda & Classe, which I still do. The combo that Jimmy2615 recommended would be hard to beat. Very neutral and detailed without being overly analytical. Very good bottom, excellent in the midrange through the top end. ... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please Those Kenwoods have alot of power, 300 for the L09 and 150 for the L07, but they will not produce the current needed to drive the Kappas. New amp or new speakers, or listen at low levels.Back to Jtiesel... I believe the Coda amps will drive these ... | |
| Used amplifier/preamp combo for $2,000-$3,000 Warm? Smooth? Hard Hitting? Detailed? Power Needed? I don't know tubes well, but in solid state, You would not go wrong with Coda or Classe. Tons of others, but these are great. | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production I didn't get from her that demand is increasing, but they keep production to a minimum and demand is often higher than production... Especially when one player comes in and buys their limited production out. She does say that models are still "cur... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production Well, I have my rep a beat down wanting a straight answer on this. I should be use to feeling stupid by now, but after all the hoopla about trying to get one of these, it seems that she was lazy and didn't really check it out. I pushed and she tho... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production You guys are better than me, I'm a buyer, I do a million dollars a year with Panasonic (TV's), Just emailed my rep and said I wanted a table for myself-any model. She emailed back and said "I'm sorry, we don't have anymore turntables anywhere"This... | |
| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? There is no doubt that removing lower frequencies from a driver will help it perform more smoothly in its upper range. My Feeble mind can't grasp, Why beyond maybe a 5 way.Bass, mid bass, mid range, mid high, high. When you are talking the benefit... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 I agree that the improvements will be marginal at best. If you have the hardware already, I'd try it. If you don't I would not. I was only trying to come up with a solution to get it done. I have not seen a really high quality Y adapter either. Th... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 The Electronic is crossed slightly below the tweeter, so the Mani's own passive will still work as designed. As far as benefits, it is for the tweeter only. The bass requires a huge percentage of the amplifiers power, so that amp will do its job a... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 Ok, are you ready, You can make this work... Get yourself another amp. Use your y connectors...or another preamp. Run one amp full range to the woofer. Use your electronic crossover and run it lower than the crossover point in your mani 2's. Say 2... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 Do you presently own 2 amps? If not, have you thought about bi wiring? Cables do matter and you could slightly change the character of the top or bottom end independently that way. |
