| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? Room ambience below 40Hz on some recordings, and it is nice to experience even with no bass in the track. Totally agree with two subs over one. If you can room correct the bass you'll be smiling when you are done. Agree with most all of the above... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Years ago I had a Velodyne servo F-1800 servo and for the time it was fine. 90s. I now have two older RELs (great, buy used) but also two SVS SB-2000 subs and one SB-3000 sub. Look for sales; I think the SVS are very good and I'd probably take e... | |
| Martin Logan on it's side for center channel ?? Okay. I do currently run my old 1996 Martin Logan SL3 electrostatic hybrid loudspeakers with cone woofers on their sides (woofers outside), and a ML Cinema center channel in between. They sound great with all three tilted up about 20 degrees or so... | |
| Flat frequency response I can hardly imagine all speakers sounding the same if equalized to flat. It's how a speaker releases its notes that gives it its own distinctive sound, whether you enjoy it or not. Room reflections and acoustics are, of course, important. But ... | |
| Has anyone heard the TAD Evo One and the Raidho TD floorstanders? How do they compare? Any T.A.D. speaker I have heard I have enjoyed, like Joseph Audio, Sonus, etc. Years ago I dialed in a pair of used D2's into my 21' wide x 17' deep by 8'-12' l-r, side sloped ceiling, room (with two large openings side and rear). They are not co... | |
| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? Thank you everyone for the wealth of info on this topic. I am learning a lot more than I had known prior to asking. This is not a DIY question although the responses should help those folks. The nuts and bolts of this are: A: one Kismet Stereo:... | |
| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? No throwing components in DIY; certainly not qualified to. I'm talking upgrading to the mfr's mono version of a good stereo amp. E.G. a 'Mark L' 200wpc stereo w/one large toroid and lots of capacitance. Say you converted that to bridged mono (an... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? Same amp brand, same board engineering, the bigger amp with the larger power supply and power reserves is going to sound better. That power is always there, at low or high volume. Push your left finger (speaker) with your right finger (50w amp).... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I have tried, but cables seem to be the least easily discernible items to listen for in an audio system. Speakers are easy, but if you want to truly hear cables (any chance in hell of hearing differences without knowing exactly which cable you you... | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? Great point on running your pre-amp in its comfort zone was made by @kld10 and it gets to what I read elsewhere recently. I recently read somewhere on this site about running an amplifier within its ideal power range. Not running 12watts into ... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums @blisshifi Too funny. I was composing and your post came out first. Opposing views of sorts. Interesting views expressed on the 'theory of more stuff' and based on the 3 outcomes.... it is hard to see how anything inanimate adds additional vibra... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums I saw this a few days ago posted on elsewhere on this site. It leads me to believe there should be zero harm in using both the gaia footers and the TA platforms. townshend-audio 328 posts 05-22-2023 at 09:23am This is an inter... | |
| Added A Second Subwoofer To System I have an SVS SB-3000 and one older SB-2000 in a theater (plus old 15" DefTech). I have my second SB-2000 in a 13x18x9ft TV room and it is more than enough for loud effects watching TV. Those subs will do the trick in that room. I will say that... | |
| High end speakers at low volume I think the basic tonal quality of the speaker has a lot to o with how it might sound at a lower volume. For me, highly accurate, analytical, or 'resolving' speakers lose even more body as they are turned down. +1 Sonus Faber, Rockport, Joseph, et... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? Tough problem with the partner's insistence on owning decor (and sound apparently). This may just end up being the 'whip' to finish the basement as soon as you can and make it your own. Sounds like nothing will satisfy her; sorry on that. I do kn... |
