| What should I upgrade Bob,I hear what you are saying. When I first took an interest in "better than average" gear, I spent a lot of time in my local high end shop. I auditioned all sorts of stuff. Spent a bit of money too. In the end, I just settled for the best sound ... | |
| B&W 685C's Gonna need to know more about your speaker placement options. My options for speaker placement are very limited. Mine have to sit on a shelf in an entertainment center. The limitations that you have on speaker placement is going to have an affect ... | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? Thanks guys. At least, I now know that I may not be crazy.I really can't explain the love affair that I'm having with this Aragon. I do know that it's really OLD and out dated. I suppose there's just something to a two channel 100 wpc amp weighing... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 Thanks for setting me straight guys. I was under the incorrect impression that the NC products were an accommodation and of lesser quality than the UcD modules. That in itself tips the scales a tad bit in favor of building my own as opposed to buy... | |
| What should I upgrade The problem is that there is no dealing with in-room response, in my system. My system is in the den and I have what I have, which is why I've had so much trouble finding just the right set of speakers to be able to make the most of what I have.Th... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 Wilsynet, when you say that the NC series is "better," I take it that you are saying that the NC sounds better. It just seemed to me that the NC products were something put together to accommodate the DIY crowd and not necessarily an advancement i... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Lowrider, I'm not talking about a passive inline crossover. This is just something that someone else brushed upon in another thread and the use of an active crossover was brought up.Given B_limo's situation, it just seemed that adding an active cr... | |
| Childproofing Speakers I've been through four kids and now half a dozen grand kids. The "fence" works to an extent, but as they grow it becomes less effective.If you have full size speakers with threaded inserts for the spikes, you have threaded inserts that will work p... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 My post above was badly written. I must have been half asleep. The current bottom of the line Channel Islands amp (from what I understand) is BASED on a UCD200(?). When researching the amp, I saw the name Hypex pop up so I checked it out, which le... | |
| Revel Gem 2 only goes down to 75Hz ? Have you heard the speakers yet? I wouldn't worry so much about the specs. I may be mistaken but I really believe that some manufacturers are liberal with their specifications and after listening to some speakers I kind of have to wonder how they ... | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 I know I'm reviving an old thread, but was wondering if perhaps anyone else had comments about the NC400 module. I'm always keeping an eye out for an amp setup and this caught my attention.I was first looking at the channel islands models and my s... | |
| Childproofing Speakers If you have grills for your speakers, leave them on. It makes the speakers much less interesting, on top of protecting the drivers. As far as protecting the kid goes, the pen idea is nice, but you also have to consider that she might be able to ge... | |
| What should I upgrade Oh, I just got back from my local shop and checked out an NAD integrated. I think that what I heard sort of convinced me that my amp is what I need to be looking at; although I am looking around for a cross over. | |
| What should I upgrade Bob, that does look interesting. I don't know about building one. I don't even know if my soldering station still works.I'm going to keep an eye out for a Hsu unit. | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Larry makes an interesting point. If you have speakers that you like, why not just add a crossover. I was just looking into the model offered by Hsu.I'm guessing that maybe the 50hz high pass module would do it. |
