| Soliloquy and bad crossovers 1) Yes.2) Around 3-4 years ago.3) High frequency.Sounded like there was no output from the tweeter; very dull and lifeless sound. I would contact Soliloquy and ask them what to do. They were responsive to my inquiries about the sound of the speakers. | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? Q #1: No. Furthermore I have never heard a system come close to sound of a live performance, regardless of the cost of the system (Pipedreams, Avant Garde Trios w/bass horns, Wilson, etc.). Q #2: Perhaps with advanced technology. Not necessarily o... | |
| Thoughts on single driver speakers Single driver speakers are not without flaws, but offer greater coherency, immediacy and purity than multi- driver speakers. Probably due to the elimination of the crossover. Generally speaking, the smaller the driver the better the highs and the ... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits - Suggestions. I just built a set of speakers based on plans obtained from audio asylum. Drivers were about $800 and the wood was $200. A cabinet maker cut the pieces up and I glued them together. The speaker is not unlike a transmission line, but more like a ho... | |
| Carbon Fibre boards for Linn? CETECH is where I bought my LP12 sub-chassis from. At that time there was no US distributor, although extremephono sells something similar for a higher cost. I believe it was about 225. including shipping from the UK (good service and fast shipping). | |
| Center or Phantom Center????? IF you sit in the center, it is no contest: phantom center sounds better in the typical home theater setup (if it does not something is wrong with your pre/pro, speakers, and/or amp). Center channel speakers have too many issues, they have to matc... | |
| What affordable amp should go w/ magnepan 1.6? I had a pair of 1.6qr and generally speaking the more power the better. The only exception was the BAT VK60 (only 60 watts- $2000 used) which was the best of all of the amps that I tried. Also, I've had success with the Marsh A400 (200 watts) whic... | |
| How much does audio equipment really cost Generally speaking, I would guess at least 1:5 from manufacturer to MSRP. Dealer cost would be about 40% less than MSRP. Keep in mind that there are spiffs and other incentives/accomodations (free shipping, bulk purchase, etc.) that manufacturers ... | |
| Turntable and a Passive pre? I use an Art Audio Vinyl One that has a built in passive attenuator and hook it up directly to my amplifier. One less set of interconnects/connections makes for better sound.You probably could wire an attenuator to the EAR and forget about the pas... | |

| Sony WEGA 60 LCD KF-60WE610 At this point in time the DLPs are better than the LCDs, especially in terms of contrast, brightness and black level. If size and weight are really not a consideration, I would go for a CRT rear projection, but it must have the superior DVI input. | |
| First pre/pro and hopefully last Forget the "pre/pro" as you will never be satisfied with its two channel performance. It just does not work. Instead, get a used Citation surround processor and buy a separate dedicated two channel preamp (hint, consider a passive). | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? I agree with Sean, in that:People change,New eqiptment is always coming out,New members are added, and a Poor search engine. | |
