| Reveal Speaker Cables @lak ,I currently have the HiDiamond 8 SC and they have been the best performing (and most costly) SC I had in my system thus far. I have recently learned about all the rave on HFC interconnects and I have 2 pairs of their Reveal XLR's being ship... | |
| DEQX - TACT - QOL - Thoughts on these? Catastrofe,I too had thought the DEQXMate may be what I needed, but When I was speaking with one of the DEQX reps, he indicated the DEQXMate does not perform the crossover function, so the option would be the HDP-4 or the express. However, if you ... | |
| DEQX - TACT - QOL - Thoughts on these? Thanks for the input folks.I'm curious about the comment that TACT is dead, has it been leapfrog by others? If so, who?To Bill's comments, I'm currently doing computer music server mostly going directly to my PS PWD MKII DAC. The dac is going into... | |
| would 50 feet speaker wires be harmful to amp? Glad to see others have done this without issues.I recognized this is sub-optimal for music playback but my second setup is really for background music and not critical listening. My primary setup is in a dedicated music room with proper sound tre... | |

I especially appreciate the note from Stereophile on the Celestion speakers.Thanks to the other folks on their comments and sharing as well.I will be careful with speaker wire selection and will ... | |
| Recommendations for balancing gain in bi-amp setup Thanks Ngjockey, I'll keep that in mind and research what the goldpt offeres.Gerald | |
| Recommendations for balancing gain in bi-amp setup that seem to have done it.I switch the 300W ampzilla to drive my bass and use the 500w Mccormack DNA 500 to drive the monitors. Instantly, the missing bass appeared in spades to the point I now set my crossover gain to just between 5-6 and all the... | |
| Recommendations for balancing gain in bi-amp setup I looked up the input sensitivity of my two amps: Ampzilla 2000 = 1 volt R.M.S. across 50kohms for 300 watts into 8 ohms on the unbalanced input. Mccormack DNA 500 = Input Impedance: 10 kOhmsInput Sensitivity: 2.25 volt rms So it seems the mccorm... | |
| Recommendations for balancing gain in bi-amp setup Thanks for the suggestions posted.The crossover does have a gain control but at peak it offers 3db from what I've read. However, at the settings of 9 or above, the tight bass which makes these speakers great become boomy and clearly not flat. So I... | |
| Recommendations for good Class A SS Amp 100-200W thanks for the tip on the review. I am looking for that taut, gut-punch as you described. That very much what I heard/felt in my friends basement with his SL6000 and the Krell combo. His basement was bigger than my listening room and even in moder... | |

| Trying to build dipole sub - a la Celestion 6000 DanielK141thanks for the heads up on the offer on ebay. The price on that listing is already >$500 and $250+ on shipping. So I'll keep an eye out on that as long as it doesn't get too expensive. I will make a bid on it. | |
| Trying to build dipole sub - a la Celestion 6000 Drew,Thanks for sharing your experience with the Linkwitz Orion. I like the effects I heard with the Celestion but I'm not confident I can reproduce the same results by just mocking up the design. I rather play it safe and go with a tested design.... | |
| Trying to build dipole sub - a la Celestion 6000 NgJockey,Interesting point you raise there...I am amazed at the results the Celstion 6000 subs have been able to produce.I'll have to look into the links provided above to research this better. | |
| Trying to build dipole sub - a la Celestion 6000 Wow,Thanks a bunch for all the tips.I was looking into direct drive woofers to deal with potential ringing problem of the drivers.I have the behringer dcx2496 serving as the active cross over in my setup. So it can do some degree of DSP and filter... |
