| How is Windows Vista? I have a RC1 upgraded to the final Vista version and it is compatible with Slimserver/Squeezebox/EAC/FLAC (copy flac.exe to the EAC folder)/Mp3tag. I have not tried the room correction yet, but my Chaintech sound card works well with Vista's own d... | |
| Need some advice on replacing a B&W tweeter I used another trick to solve the problem with a N804 tweeter: rub the dent softly but rapidly with a Q-tip swab; the heat from the friction will pop the dent up in about a minute or so. | |
| Stello DP200 & Stello M200 My M200s are great amps, slightly warm sounding. I have thought about getting the DP200 but I don't like not having a balance control. | |
| Speakers for large open room Big Tannoys from the Prestige range. | |
| Opinions on ACI Sapphire XL Autre, if you feel you need a subwoofer, any REL can be used with your integrated because of the speaker connection. I don't need a high-pass filter, in your room, try plugging the rear ports with the foam plugs that come with the XLs. | |
| Opinions on ACI Sapphire XL I use a Bolder-modded Squeezebox2 directly to a pair of Stello M200 monoblocks, the XLs and a REL Storm III. | |
| Opinions on ACI Sapphire XL I own a pair of black piano XLs; very natural reproduction, good dynamics for the size, not difficult to drive, well made (heavy and solid) and with good looks to boot! | |
| B&W DM6 speakers I owned a pair in the seventies, after having DM2s and DM4s. The "pregnant penguins" were excellent speakers at the time; the bass was a bit tubby but the rest of the range was state of the art. | |
| Need Recommendation of PC speakers Another vote here for Swans M200. Hard to beat at the price or even higher. | |
| PC sound card Just in case this is what you're thinking, the sound card has no connection to the SB and therefore it has nothing to do with the SB sound which comes directly from the ethernet (and wireless) connection. | |
| PC sound card I don't think so; invest the money on Bolder or Red Wine SB mods. | |
| Need subwoofer help. I agree that those speakers deserve a musical sub. I am a REL fan and own a Storm III, but I would suggest you check the ACI Force. I believe it's on sale now but since ACI is upgrading the looks of their subs, I would wait for the new Force XL, w... | |
| TV and/ or system rack between speakers... You're welcome. | |
| TV and/ or system rack between speakers... In my experience, a tall vertical rack and/or big TV between --or just behind-- the plane of the speakers is the fourth cause of getting mediocre sound from high-end speakers (poor imaging). The third cause is speakers placed too close to the fron... | |
| Please recommend a hard drive No problems with external drives. I like Samsungs because they are extremely quiet. The 250GB is a bargain. |
