| Equalizers anyone? My room is quite small, 11 x 13.5 with 8 ft ceiling. All plaster with heavy carpet and pad over hardwood floor on 1x6 subfloor. I'm getting somewhat boomy bass with some sort of echo slap and I can actually hear the room affecting upper mids and l... | |
| Equalizers anyone? Guys...I'm not talking about the normal 1970s type equalizers. Talking about the Rives PARC and a couple of Accuphase models that have been reviewed in TAS and Stereophile and have been claimed to be "invisible" in the system and to correct room p... | |
| Any Spendor sp 1/2 owner or former here ? A quick way to break in speakers: Turn them to face one another (about 4" apart) and wire one speaker out of phase. Throw blanket over both, turn CD player on "repeat disc" and hit Play. Experiment with volume but the out of phase speakers facing ... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Man, I second that Hendrix response - "Castles Made of Sand". Been listening to it for over 35 years and still gives me chills."Cops in cars, the topless bars...never saw a woman so alone." 'LA Woman' - The Doors"And the sun came in like buttersco... | |
| I need a good quality CD player - with changer Anyone else find the slow mechanical action of Sony SACD players irritating? | |
| I need a good quality CD player - with changer I have been using a Marantz 4000 OSE changer for about 3 years and it has performed flawlessly. Has the fastest action of any CD player I've seen. Changes discs in about 4 secs, literally. I also have an older (5 years) C.E.C. transport which mayb... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Paul...thanks so much for the kind offer but unfortunately I live in Michigan which is quite a ways from Mass. A couple of things about speakers and "driveability". There is a three fold requirement for ease of drive: 1) Efficiency, 2) Impendance ... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Lots more to think about. One of the best sounding amps I've heard on my speakers was a 25wt S/S Accuphase. I may try to give the Classe a listen as I'm open to most things audio. However, about 3-4-5 years ago I did borrow a Classe from local dea... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Philefreak,I am using an REL but running main speakers full range as the sub is designed for this. I may try conventional set-up and relieve the ProAcs of some burden. But what is a Deware HDT? I know what a Direct Heated Triode is and I know what... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Thanks for the info, both LaK and Ecclectique. I, too, am a fond admirerer of the Response series and had the 2S for a short while before getting the 2.5s. My 300B amp is designed to standard Air Tight quality and has Tamura trannies and other goo... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull I've been curious about Audio Note speakers for some time but never had the opportunity to audition. I'll keep an eye/ear out for them. In meantime, think I'll look for a relatively inexpensive P/P tube amp to roll with. Or, if i could find a 6-7 ... | |
| atma sphere ma60mkii and revel studios Hey, Trelja!Don't you know those damn tube amps are just distortion machines and can't be trusted?!? You'd be better off getting a good spec'd Technics receiver with .0000000025% THD and a built in graphic equalizer. | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull Damn...I love these speakers. Any suggestions for something that won't create headaches or screech (like horns and many single driver jobs) or sound diffuse and thin (like the Cain & Cain Abbey and some Coincident Techs I've heard)? Or maybe I... | |
| SETs vs. Push/Pull All great ideas and I think the jist is to get a 2nd amp and use each when the mood strikes. The ProAcs are an all around easy load and I think I can experiment with just about anything if having two "drive engines". | |
