| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Forgot to mention I heard the X12's in Feb and the X22's last month. I have had the C1's for 2 years now. | |
| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 As a C1 owner I have to say they are not the prettiest speakers around. That being said I did not buy for looks. Having heard the 805's a couple of years back I thought they were great but wasn't sure. Couldn't put my finger on it. I only had abou... | |
| XLR cable for basic beginner From your list I have only experienced the AQ king cobra's. In my opinion a great value for the money. BTW nice speakers (disclaimer I own C1's too). In fact a nice system for a basic beginner. | |
| Accuphase Class A or A/B speaker match Dynaudio C1 I have a 70 watt@4ohms tube integrated (Octave V70SE) running class A/B driving my C1's. The power is fine. I replaced my Bryston B100 rated at 180 watt@4ohms. The Octave just crushes the Bryston in power - control and dynamics. Even though the C1... | |
| Upgrade amp. or speakers first? When I was in need of a new amp I had a 18 yr old Denon PMA 700. I got the Bryston B100. Great improvement with my 17 yr old Mission/Cyrus 782's. Couple of years later since no replacement parts seemed to be available I decided to shop speakers. T... | |
| Upgrade amp. or speakers first? Speakers without a doubt. | |
| Dedicated line last minute questions Forgot to mention if he does run a dedicated ground the wattgate would defeat the purpose UNLESS he can break the self grounding feature. Most receptacles are capable of this feature. | |
| Dedicated line last minute questions As far as I've ever seen those receptacles are for isolated ground (earth ground). They do NOT make a ground connection when installing them as do all other receptacles (otherwise known as self grounding). They can be used and I would highly recom... | |
| tube warm up if any Get your tubes broken in first. I've seen recommendations of up to 300 hrs for burn in. Most average time is 200 hrs. Depends on the manufacturer of the tube. I'm I tube nubie too. Just got my first tube integrated 3 weeks ago. Prior to that I was... | |
| For crying out loud Like some of you when I first used my remote to turn the display on and off I thought I heard no difference. So one day I had turned the display off and left it off for several days. I had forgot it really. Then when I turned it back on to see the... | |
| For crying out loud I found the same result and by accident too with my Meridian G08. | |
| Fathom 113 no highpass filter I would yes (to an external crosser) just for this reason. Why send that low bass power to your speakers? That would keep a little extra power for the mid bass on up in the mains. The purpose of internal speaker crossovers is to separate the neede... | |
| 50' speaker or 50' interconnect? Ocos speaker cables are supposed to be good for up to 100 meters.http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/systems/lines/accessories/ocos.php | |
| Turn off of subwoofer I have a Rel B3 and never turn it off. It goes into standby if it doesn't get a signal in 20 min and then uses only about 7 watts. A warning in the manual says if you do turn it off wait 20 min to discharge the power supply or risk damage to it. M... | |
| Why larger gauge speaker wire for low frequencies? In theory very low frequencies will use more of the 'center' of the wire because as the frequency increases it only uses a few microns of the outer surface of the conductor. That's also a reason why a lot of cable manufacturers just plate a copper... |
