| inexpensive preamps Schiit Freya…they're fun, and 700 clams (not money, they insist on actual clams…strange). | |
| Shortening REL Subwoofer Cables Doesn't simply redoing the Neutrik Speakon plug end make things easier? | |
| should I go with the rega brio or schiit vidar The Vidar’s balanced input numbers exactly one, so if stereo balanced connection is important you have to buy 2 Vidars. | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING Cover the speakers not in use with a fur covered oil drum filled with goose down, or use several thick wool blankets, or use a system that lowers the unused speakers into the floor and covers them with a hatch…like one of those automatic televisio... | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier For an SS amp at that price maybe check out the Schiit Vidar…buy 2 for running each in mono for around 1400 bucks. Class A/B instead of D, return policy, snarky manufacturer comments, USA made…and they possibly sound good, although I have no idea. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Yeah…I don't know why but the way things sound remains a big part of my listening experience. | |
| Best course of action Subs add a lot more than merely bass. I use RELs with the main speakers full range like they recommend…used RELs can be found el cheapo here and there if you're patient. | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? I can move an inch or two along my listening spot couch but don't. I could though. I also don't miss balance controls and haven't had one in my rig for years, but I do now have a "loudness" control in the form of a Schiit "Loki"…a cool "uncool" th... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Eminence…spelling error. I'm bi-wiring the Heresys for no reason in particular except that I had the wire already there from other speakers, and I'm thinking about stands to get them up to my ear level although that might not be worth it…they're s... | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening I’ve been using a couple of RELs I bought used (About 200 bucks each) that were, and are, fabulous sounding (Had to make a grill for the forward firing Q150e which was easy since it had the frame, but the other is down firing). Maybe the Q series ... | |
| Audio Research VT100MKII power switch stuck on You simply have to sit there and listen to it until it stops…I don't see any other reasonable solution. | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? The Rogers EHF-200, which I've actually listened to, is a crazy great sounding thing with a lifetime warranty (I think it's YOUR lifetime, because otherwise they would say, "Sorry man…its time was up."). There's a cheaper 100 watt one that I've he... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I'll offer that ANY great speaker will "do" piano well. And it bears repeating how absolutely different piano tone on recordings appears, thus making "absolutes" like your face in the path of an open lid Steinway (if yer lucky) as compared to Monk... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? After a couple of weeks with my Klipsch Heresy IIIs, I can say without a doubt that they are great speakers. Partnered with well designed other crap (specifically wires, gizmos, doodads, tweaks, etc.), they sing, and I think the woofer is loosenin... | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light I hate it when old people pull up next to me blasting Verdi…or Perry Como…damn old people… |
