| Mixing Tube and SolidState Amps I think you are trying to come up with biamplification. In many biamp setups the tube amp drives the tweeters and the transistor amp drives the woofers.You can try biamping any way you like but get left and right sides symmetrical and make sure al... | |
| What would you buy Sub $350 Firewire/USB DAC Long list, wowee. Haven't heard anything like all of them. For my 2 cents you won't go wrong with the Apogee, but it costs more than some of the others. Good luck. | |

| Component rack for bookcase?? At least get some risers in between the components. On the cheap side, hockey pucks ( or better, the soft practice-type pucks ). Up from that, rubber/cork pads, Vibrapods, Herbie's Tenderfeet or Edensound myrtle cones with custom threads... and th... | |

| 2-way speaker with best bass It is impressive, at least to me--the Shearwater's bass, that is. For a two-way, it's exceptional. Mr. Atkinson is more rolled-off in his praise:reasonable bass extension--this from the link you kindly provided, Shadorne.I can see the dishing in t... | |
| power line conditioners... A transformer also can't do anything to control or eliminate spikes or drops in the power, it will simply reproduce them on the output side.Quite right that an iso tranny won't do anything for power sags, brownouts, dips or cuts. For that, you nee... | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass If you want to get bass below 60Hz from a two-way, you can get it. You have to choose your speaker carefully -- the Merlin VSM mentioned above and the orphaned Meadowlark Shearwater are examples -- then place it well. Realistic, tuneful, articulat... | |
| Noisy speakers Agree with Ponnie that you should check your connectors. A bad connection can even make a tweeter sound defective, according to UHF Magazine. | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass Shadorne you didn't mention the transmission line cabinet. Helps to get optimum bass from a small woofer. My Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods--a TL design--have great bass for a two-way. | |
| HELP with Room Treatment See Slideshow It looks to me as though your room has a large volume (the rear wall is open, the left wall is distant from the left speaker) but early reflections. (No wonder you have a big subwoofer.) The more first reflection points you can treat, the better.T... | |

| DAC? Does it make a big difference? The Mimik II is a relatively old design and you are certain to be able to find an outboard DAC that improves on the inboard one. The Numerik is contemporary and upscale so even a Linn dealer would have suggested it as an upgrade at the time of fir... |
