| Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex First choice would be foam (packaging material but cut to shape). Second - crumpled up paper towel. Just remember it may come out if the volume is turned up too high. Third would be womans nylons. BTW socks worked for me when I had Bic speakers 30... | |
| what connectors do you use on your jumpers? It should be fine using 2 spades at 1 connector. Personally I like bananas better because you get more of a surface area connection. Also with spades you check them to make sure they don't loosen up. I used the wbt locking banana and didn't feel t... | |
| Looking For New Component Sstand I have a pARTicular Novus full suspension rack and absolutely love it. I think it has a high WAF but I don't have one of those anymore. | |
| Biwiring Mani-2's... Bi-wire and Bi-amp are 2 different things. Bi-wire is when you connect 1 amp to both sets of posts on the speaker and bi-amp is when you have 2 separate amps for the same speaker. From some of the recent posts here it seems as if bi-wiring causes ... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Not sure how long B&W's take to break in but my Dynaudio C1's did sound great out of the box but after 100 hrs they were just horrible. That being said after 200 hrs they were acceptable and at 400 hrs they were great. I did burn mine in 24/7 ... | |
| question about installation of 20 amp wall plug My guess is you miswired it. Sounds like maybe you had Hot and Ground reversed. Putting a 20amp wall plug on a 15 amp line shouldn't be a problem (you are limited to the 15 amp breaker). | |
| grilles on or off the speakers?? Ex_midwestMy brother in law has those same speakers and I will admit to me they sound better with the grills off (for most of what say with your grills on except for the bass). I guess it may also have to do with the total system synergy and the r... | |
| grilles on or off the speakers?? On my Dynaudio C1's the soundstage is much better without the grills on but my Mission/Cyrus 782's it didn't seem to make a difference. Personally to me both look better without the grills | |
| handheld voltmeter I've used Fluke for many years without problems. Not the least expensive but very good. | |
| Are you in the over 30 K club?? No but I sure wish I could afford it. | |
| power cable factory versus brand name gauges I guess I need a refresher course in electricity, why would these 16 gauges be better than the 12 gauges wires i presently have?In this case gauge is not the whole story. Yes heavier gauge will allow more current to pass. How much current do you n... | |
| Speaker break in: changes in sound question When I bought my brand new Dynaudio C1's they sounded really good right out of the box. BUT about 100 hrs. into the break-in they sounded horrible. Lack of bass - mid's got extremely forward and the highs pretty much disappeared. I wanted to cry b... | |
| What speakers are good with Burmester? My Burmester dealer has Dynaudio. Fantastic combo. Especially the confidence line. | |
| Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore? I prefer to talk to the seller (have not sold anything yet) when it is a major component like cd player - amp or anything that cost more than a couple of hundred dollars. That makes me more comfortable regarding the transaction. | |
| dynaudio c-4s in a small room? Good positioning in a good room makes any speaker better.I agree 100% but the key words are good room.Bad positioning in a bad room doesn't make a good speaker badI somewhat disagree - Not getting the full potential of what a speaker has to offer ... |
