| Using Two Subwoofers with Two 2-Channel Amplifiers. I use 2 REL subs but they're both mono as the aural "ques" for bass position in the soundstage, in either classical or jazz or anything else, is unaffected in my system...the plus is since the subs are doing the same thing they act as moderators f... | |
| Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ? Not a bookshelf but used for that by some (it's a fat, squat, floorstander), My Klipsch Heresy IIIs have very coherent bass to around 58hz (read the Ken Micallef review in the June...I think...Stereophile), and I use a couple of REL subs to get to... | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts I play electric guitar frequently, putting distortion from various tube amps through guitar speakers in open back cabinets...I also play cleanly through the same rigs...these things should last for several decades as others I've owned have. I also... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Interestingly (at least to me) one of the characteristics of the Heresy III is that although it doesn't do deep bass (they just bail at 58hz or so), when I turn the subs off to hear the bass they do manage to produce they have an extremely coheren... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? I'm sticking with "luck" as it seems more interesting. And to respond to his response, I use 3 way Klipsch Heresy IIIs crossing at 850 and 5000hz with 2 dissimilar REL subs (a 10' front firing and a an 8" down firing) so there is no luck of mid ba... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I never charge Paypal fees since the auction price is what I agree to anyway, and it seems to complicate things. I also charge a reasonable "flat fee" for shipping that covers most of the CONUS and if I'm off by a few bucks, so what? I control the... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Fremer lost most of his cred with me when he raved about sticking a ridiculous SR PHT (tiny metal jujubee) so called "transducer" on a tonearm, and consequently never mentioned them again because he doesn't seem to actually use the things. | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Well said Bache, and indeed, luck midbass seems to be an issue. | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I mixed a show a couple of years ago for Julian Lage with his trio of Kenny Wolleson and Scott Colley, and was blown away by these guys. Since then they've released 2 albums of that trio, and another of a live show in L.A. available as a download.... | |
| Blocking the propaganda I don't care one iota about what people feel they need to do to tweak their rig...I have tweaks here and there...it's the promotion of sketchy products by commercial interests who cram their posts with hyperbole, with zero explanation of why or ho... | |
| Blocking the propaganda I read audio mags and forums for entertainment...like many my ability to assemble an audio system is driven by my ears only, and if somebody else hears good things from an item I own, hey, that's great (A reviewer recently liked my Klipsch Heresy ... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 1 Compatibility question with Class D Amp If the amps are well designed as I assume these are, they should work fine as long as your preamp isn’t sending a signal that’s too hot...you can buy little pads to alleviate that, but if you can get a comfortable volume range from the preamp leve... | |
| When it sounds like a tube amp needs rejuvenating, Part of the tube amp "thing" is the fun of collecting tubes and trying various ones in different combinations...many tube heads do this and wind up with a lifetime supply to mess around with...I agree utterly with swapping in fresh tubes being the... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I now have my Heresy IIIs on the floor with no support blocks, and am using Vibrapods under the corners of the supplied tilt back risers with felt pads applied to the bottom of the pods so the speakers can easily be moved around a little on my sus... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Note that Alon Wolf recently noted they primarily listen to "Red Book" level digital sources at Magico. |
