| How long do B&W 800 series speakers last seriously to the original poster, ask if the speakers were near a heat source. I had the rubber surround come unglued from a Vandersteen 2ci woofer because the speaker was near the radiator in my living room. This is what Vandersteen told me when ... | |
| How long do B&W 800 series speakers last "I wonder why ....."What does the type of music have to do with blown speakers? I listen to heavy metal and techno as part of my choices and I have NEVER blown a speaker. And, I do not listen to chamber music with 75db peaks either.I think that re... | |
| Shunyata Hydra 2 I bet the picture would be sharper and colors more vivid with it in the chain. | |
| Bi amping question "Then send left and right outputs to a single speaker input? I am just curious and uneducated."The amp will go up in smoke. You can't combine the 2 channels to one speaker unless the amp is bridged. If you don't believe me, then try it. You will p... | |
| Peak listening levels- I average 88db with peaks sometimes around 93db. That's as loud as I want to hear it. I sit 12 feet away from the speakers and these are the measurements at my listening chair. | |
| Hydra 2 for digital My digital components and an fm tuner are plugged into a Hydra 4 and it lowered the noise floor immensely. My amp and pre are plugged into a Hydra 2. | |
| Dedicated circuit I have 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for my system. One for the amp and pre which are plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 2 and one for my source components which are plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 4. I have an old house with older wiring, so when I had my... | |

| Yaqin integrated anybody heard them or own one A few years back, I bought a Yaquin hybrid amp. Tube input and solid state output. It looked very pretty on the outside, but inside it was a piece of crap. There was a huge cover over the power transformer which would lead one to believe the trans... | |
| KEF Q800ds heads up check yours Instead of going through all that trouble, why didn't you just reverse the speaker wires at the speakers binding posts? | |
| Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth I had a smooth ceiling in my living room where my stereo resides and had a popcorn ceiling put in instead. I could hear no difference in the sound. | |
| Favorite lp of all time Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd | |
| Totem Sttaf The speakers may or may not need more breaking in, but I have found that if I don't like the sound of new speakers with only a few hours on them, I will never fully like them. I have heard that totems tend to be rather bright and for that reason, ... | |
| Primaluna prologue 2 based system upgrade Why not call ZU Audio and ask Sean what speakers they make would be a good match for your Prima Luna amp? These guys love tubes and most of their speakers are 98db+ efficient. This may be a good starting place for you. | |
| spdif/USB converter vs DAC upgrade I use a Musical Fidelity V-Link 192 into my Wyred4Sound DAC 1. It sounds wonderful. I read an earlier post that the Wyred dac upsamples everything. Not so! My Wyred dac displays the proper sampling rate. If it was recorded at 44.1, that is what di... |
