| Speaker Sales on Audiogon Tammy will take care of you, she has always been fair and honest with me. Also, I would send the buyer an invoice for the difference. If they back out, Tammy will help you relist your speakers. | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences Parallel connection? Everything that I said is incorrect. Sorry, I must have mis read. From Al's 1st post, I thought that this was a series connection. A parallel connection will decrease the load seen by the amp and hurt the amps current cap... | |
| Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences Resistor.... Q of the woofer and of the system will change.... QES and QTS will raise. The woofer will want a larger box or want to head towards a sealed box rather than ported. I've never really like what resistors did to the sound of the bass.... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Quote: " ports require a smaller cabinet than sealed "This is incorrect. You can get away sometimes with a smaller box using ports because of tuning capability, but.... and a big but. For ANY woofer in its perfect sealed box, its perfect port... | |
| Considering going back to Solid State I had 2 pre's come to mind instantly. I have sat in front of both of them many times. These 2 have very similar characteristics and sound more alike than different. One has been repeatedly mentioned here, that is the Coda 07x. The second is the Sp... | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow So does that mean the In-wall speakers are the way to go?In any event, it certainly cuts the need for baffle step compensation. | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think There seems to be some confusion in a couple of post of bass vs sub bass, as Erik posted, he is 100 percent accurate. Looking at specifically a 6 1/2. There is a problem on moving air for real impact in larger rooms.... Of course Erik qualified... | |
| Small room amp and speakers recommendation I have commented many times on the Parts express Solstice kit. It comes complete and is fairly simple to put together and is a hard core bargain in parts and sound quality. Of course there are many options at the price, but I have to agree with @... | |
| Vintage Kinergetics gear repair by someone that knows what they are doing? I recently changed every electrolytic out in a KBA75 (improving many of them in spec and size). The improvement was dramatic. I would think that most problems that would occur would be from aging parts. My advice is to switchout those aging part... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? I have built many speakers and on at least 40 to 50 occasions, I have compared sound with and without impedance compensation. I have never found a negative result in listening, in fact 90+ percent of the time it only improves many aspects. I ha... | |
| Integrated under $2000 for Focal Aria 926s The Schiit is a great value.... in a integrated under $2000??? A used Belles Aria is a no brainer to me.... This is a very nice amplifier, with a great phono section to boot. Should be around $1600 | |
| Pioneer m90 and c90 yat Yemeni puchi….. ahhhh haaaa. | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? The KBA75 that tweak1 mentioned for sale was probably mine. I rebuilt one myself and sold it just a couple of weeks ago. This is truly a gem of an amplifier. It has a warm delicate nature, yet still very good detail. The buyer gave feedback tha... | |
| Everything a crossover has to do ... Very well said Erik. The only thing that I might add is parts selection in crossovers. The type and quality of caps and resistors change the character of how a speaker sounds. The coils combined with the resistance and inductance of the drivers ... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! You guys know that I've been a speaker builder for many years. Through my struggles in the amp forums here, the past couple of years, I have built modified and repaired several amps to improve my knowledge. My studies on circlotron started with... |
