| hardwood floor and speaker When I removed the carpet from my listening room a few years ago I used the carriage bolts with pads as P_Nelson suggests. Inexpensive and effective. | |
| How tall are your speaker stands Although tweeter at ear level is the general rule, experimentation can work wonders. I had a pair of Silverline Audio SR-11s sitting on 24 inch stands with tweeters at ear level. The sound was good but if I slouched down the sound was better. I mo... | |
| Anyone use the tweeter attenuation on Maggies? Talked to the dealer and am going to pick up some resistors today. Also. I moved the speakers out into the room as suggested, wow, what a difference. Much improved. We'll see what the resistors do.Brownsfan, I used the term bass trap lower case. W... | |
| Anyone use the tweeter attenuation on Maggies? Thanks for all the responses. Drew, I wasn't aware of the lower bass when near wall. I have moved them out a few inches and am now exceeding 3 ft.Hifiharv and Brownsfan, my room is well treated. I use mostly Aurelex products but have some absorpti... | |
| Anyone use the tweeter attenuation on Maggies? They are 34 inches from the back wall. If they were too close to the wall I would expect excessive bass. Actually the bass seems very good, better than I expected. Working with the toe-in made a huge difference earlier today but the harshness is s... | |
| Do you power your Class D amp on and off? I'm guessing you power it down as otherwise the speakers would be playing while you are listening to headphones? If that is the case it is probably not detrimental to the amp to be turned on/off occasionally. Though with the power switch on the ba... | |
| Analog or Digital? Here's a thought, try it give and us you impression. | |
| Bel Canto or PS Audio??? The Bel Canto S300, M300 and PS Audio A100 use the same ICE modules (ASC200). There are several other makers including Cary, Wyred, and Jeff Rowland using the same modules. From what I have noticed, the main differences seem to be in how the input... | |
| Help: Speakers to fill Exceptionallly Large Room? The Bose 901s hanging from the ceiling is a great idea as critical listening isn't going to happen in this setup anway. I had a pair hanging in a basement 20 years ago. They could fill the place with sound. | |
| Classe CP-700 owners - won't play - AC Volt Error Does the unit have a 110/220V switch in the wrong position? Only guess I have. | |
| Inexpensive XLR cable for SUB 11-22-09: TpreavesMake your own.A fun and easy project.You also control the cost.Excellent suggestion. | |
| Anyone put Totem Forests on platforms? Other than the cost I can't think of a reason to try it. I use a maple block under my sub with excellent results. Liked it so much I put my speakers up on plinths as well. It worked well for me. In fact just the other day I switched back for compa... | |
| Just when I thought digital could not match analog In fact, it was difficult to tell the Tranquility DAC from the Super Scoutmaster.That statement shoots your credibility with me. I don't care how good either setup is, or the listener's preference, the difference is apparent. If you have $7k inves... | |
| Monitors For Near Field Low Volume Listening Another small monitor to look at is the PMC DB1+. When I originally hooked mine up I was sitting approximately 9 ft from the speakers and thought they sounded very good. When I moved up and sat on the foot stool I was amazed how good they were. Th... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? So, what for now?…Ferrite snap-on gizmos? A DAC? Reside myself to the fact that the Saturn, although a good CD player, can’t replicate that vinyl analog sound I so like and therefore buy a TT?Yes, there are intrinsic differences between digital an... |
