| Bass trapping - corners or walls? Anyone have any experience with the SR black box? I'm thinking about trying one of these in my living room where room treatments aren't going to be permitted by my beloved. | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? I treated my listening room with pretty good results. I agree with auxinput's comments. I will add the following. Before you do anything, download REW (room equalization wizard software) and optimize the results around the room without treatmen... | |
| Building a listening room from scratch Dweller, my guess is the same as yours. I'm guessing that ceramic tile will be more reflective of low frequency information than carpeting over plywood, but I don't really want to run an expensive experiment without supporting data. If I were to... | |
| Building a listening room from scratch Dweller, regarding your comment about laying tile. I have carpet over plywood subfloor, and it really absorbs the 60-90 Hz region. That range is down about 12 dB at its max. I've thought about pulling up the carpeting, putting down ceramic tile... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production The decline of physical media didn't happen suddenly last week. That has been brewing for years. Oppo developed and launched the 203/205 generation as a significant improvement on the already good 103/105 generation recently. Pulling the plug n... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production I am not really worried about support and updates at this point. What worries me is that a company like Oppo, with a superb value proposition, can't stay in the game. I get the whole physical media being dead argument. But why not jump the shar... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production I saw this too. Very strange indeed. I bought a 205 a couple of months ago and am glad I got one when I did. I can't say I saw this coming. | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Jdnrbob, Sorry, The SVIIs are Coincident Super Victory IIs and the TEIIs are Coincident Triumph Extreme IIs. The TE IIs are monitors that are no longer manufactured. | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Cal3713, I don't have any threads discussing in detail the amps I have used to drive my SV's. Briefly, when I purchased the SVs, I had only the Coincident Frankenstein and Dynamo amps at my disposal. Initially, I had my medium sized room set up... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Charles,You ask two great questions for which I have less than clear answers. First of all, I have not evaluated the M-60's driving the TE II's. Getting the SVIIs dialed in upstairs was a bit of a chore, and moving them in and out of the room is... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Charles, I'm sure the EML is going to be just fine. Its been a year since my 2nd set of Elrogs burned out. That should be enough time that a comparison of the Elrogs and EMLs from me will be meaningless. Over the years I've learned that we see... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Jacarcopo, Thanks for posting this report. I've exercised considerable discipline in waiting things out for a year before making a decision on Elrog vs EML XLS to replace my Psvane Ts. Much as I loved my Elrogs, I just can't get to a justifica... | |
| Magnepan Owners When I owned Maggies I had jumpers custom made from the wires I used for speaker wires. I did not (and would not) bypass the fuses, but I did purchase audiophile grade fuses. Both changes made a worthwhile improvement. | |
| How do you choose speaker location? Elizabeth, as you know, Maggies are a different animal. Less effected by first reflections from side walls, but they like a little space behind them since they are dipoles. If you have not downloaded REW software (room equalization wizard) I sug... | |
| Sophia EL34-ST Tubes If the Sophia EL34s sound like a 300B that is a significant accomplishment, and I will be placing an order tomorrow. Can you provide info on the review? |
