| Looking for a non-powered sub P.S. -- Also see the "Panels and subwoofers don't mix" thread for a lively relevant discussion. | |
| Looking for a non-powered sub Hi Steve,Well, I just read up on the Maggie 1.6 and now I fear that my previous advice may be worth exactly what you paid for it. :)I did not realize that the 1.6 is a 2-way planar design with bass extension down to the 40's. In that case, since y... | |
| Matching the center channel to the fronts "But now, picking the speakers...that's the hard part."Many would say, that's the FUN part.We're in this hobby because we enjoy it, right? (Right?):) | |
| Matching the center channel to the fronts You said you are planning to use your system for 70% music, but does that mean 2 channel music or multichannel music? If you intend to use your system for mostly 2 channel music, then as others have said, I think it would be a big mistake to downg... | |
| Looking for a non-powered sub Take a look at the non-powered New Original Subwoofer by VMPS. It was designed to mate with the Quad ESL, and actually could be used as a stand for that speaker. Last I checked, VMPS subs could be purchased either pre-assembled or as a kit.How low... | |

| Speaker 101 - tweeter and cone materials Brian Cheney at VMPS has an interesting discussion on woofer cone material at http://www.vmpsaudio.com/d-cones.htmHe is obviously very knowledgeable and entertaining, but keep in mind that his point of view is not the only valid point of view. For... | |
| Any Thoughts on KEF's new IQ line? Before you buy a KEF iQ speaker, look at the cabinet up close, or find out whether it is real wood veneer or simulated wood veneer. I bought the KEF Q2ds (the dipole surround from the previous Q series), which looked good in the photos, but up clo... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? I just heard the $48K/pair High Violin MkIII in Southern California. The other components were Einstein 60 wpc tube monoblocks ($25K/pair), Einstein tube preamp (I forget how much), and Accustic Arts CD transport and DAC ($11K). Each component sat... | |
| Kef 104.2 midrange replacement I had to replace something (twice) on a 104.2 but I don't remember if it was a midrange or a tweeter. As mentioned, drivers often appear on Ebay. At one time, KEF supposedly maintained records for each speaker, so that by giving them a serial numb... | |
| Strange thingie in power cord of used Adcom amp Thank you Elizabeth! I searched "ferrite filter" and found exactly the object attached to my amp's power cord. Here is the link:http://www.regalusa.com/31.pdf#search='ferrite%20filter'Unsound, you show promise as a sci-fi writer. Do you remember t... | |
| Monster Cable interconnects too tight What is "ATF"? Anyway I bought some Pro-Gold along with some DeoxIT, both from Caig. Thanks much for the suggestions. | |
| HT pre-amp/proccessor advise. I chose the Sherwood P-965 over the Outlaw 990 for a few reasons:1. The Sherwood has a room EQ feature called "SNAP" that EQ's the entire audible range, including subwoofer response. The Outlaw 990 currently has no room EQ. I may not use that feat... | |
| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? As a newcomer to the 'Gon, I would feel honored to get flamed by Flrnlamb, sort of as a rite of initiation. So here goes.I would like to comment on the distinction between "passive" and "active" as I understand those terms in this thread. The cruc... | |
| Dipole surround speaker to match KEF 104.2? Don't worry Don, I'm not replacing the 104.2s any time soon. I am simply updating the rest of my system from a vintage 1995 Pro-Logic I setup to a 7.1 setup. I have been content with the Model 100 Center, but based on your comments I will keep an ... |
