| Amp or Preamp With Built-in High-Pass Filter I think the Emotiva audio preamp has a optional high pass filter.Mark | |
| 4ohm RECEIVER There is no need to spend a lot of money - I would go with a used stereo receiver or integrated from the 90's. I got a nice little Sony ES receiver for $40 on the auction sight that did a decent job.Or new the Yamaha RX-797 or Harmon Kardon 3490 s... | |
| 4ohm RECEIVER Probably any of the better HK/Denon/Yamaha/Sony ES receivers would be OK as long as you don't want to go too loud.Mark | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Kal - why do you need a custom crossover? What's wrong with a of the shelf active crossover like the NHT X2?Mark | |
| Sony XA7ES is this still a top notch player? I have the same question six years later. Would the XA7ES still be considered good? Would it hold up against newer universal players?Mark | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? You should also consider the NHT M-00 Powered monitors. They are on sale at NHThifi.com and they come with a free attenuator box.Mark | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? For the speakers I would try for something local because shipping good speakers is going to take up a fair amount of that $1000. Be patient and check your local Craigslist every day. Good speakers priced at $500-600 do come up from time to time. A... | |
| Help buying fullrange speakers for $1500 You can get a pair of NHT classic fours new from a seller here on agon for $1500 shipped. They are very nice speakers (I love mine). But a pair of used Polk LSI15s for $800 or so would be really hard to beat for the $$. Mark | |
| bananas vs spades as terminals for speaker cables Overall I think bananas are much easier to work with. With spades I had trouble getting the right amount of tension on the binding posts. To loose is no good obviously but I was afraid I would overtighten them and break something. With bananas you... | |
| Active Crossovers - What really works? The NHT X2 is currently on closeout for $199. I just got one last week and am still breaking it in/ fine tuning it. It's a inexpensive but fully featured way to biamp. If you decide you don't like it you could sell it at no loss. Mark | |
| Can Frequency Sweeps Damage Speakers? Most tweeters are not designed to play a single frequency continuously at high volume levels. They will overheat. I always thought that it was a no-no to play test tones or sweeps above about 80 dB.Mark | |
| Any NHT Classic Four owners biamping? Thanks. A list of what you used would be great. What did you replace the internal wiring with?I was thinking of removing the subwoofer crossover (really just a low pass filter) after I biamp since I will be using a low pass filter on the amp input... | |
| Any NHT Classic Four owners biamping? Cool thanks for the response. The tweeter mod is a little more than I want to tackle right now, but I would consider upgrading the crossovers. DO you have a parts list of what you used?I keep meaning to pop the back off and take a look at the cros... | |
| Good Radio Shack FM Antennae The Terk FM1 is $13 at Best Buy. Which Terk antenna is $90?Mark | |
| Good Radio Shack FM Antennae I have tried a bunch of indoor FM antennas - none powered, though. The best ones for me were the Terk FM+ and the Radio Shack folded dipole. If you go with the folded dipole than you will probably also need a 75/300 ohm f connector adapter (also a... |
