| Is a subwoofer 'overkill?' Velodyne SMS-1 EQ/RTA is the way to go. You can smooth out the bass peaks/valleys and when the wife gets home, put it in night mode in which reduces output up to(user adjustable) 20%-90%! | |
| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS Vicdamone- Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't need an amp with any 'high pass filter and gain control with low and high level inputs'. My Lexicon pre/pro does all that. I just want a power amp only. Looks like you really know your bass!! (I HA... | |
| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS I've owned the Crown K1 and used it on my Apogee Studio Grand subs. Didn't like it. It had plenty of output, but no bass definition. I thought it would be the ultimate amp for my subs, but I was wrong. My Classe 201 amp smoked it but runs much hot... | |
| NUFORCE AMPS FOR PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS Sterotaipei- Funny you should mention ICE amp. I have one that is rated at 250Watts-8ohm/500-4ohm that is being updated with new speaker binding posts. I can't wait to try it when it returns. But I'm using it as speaker amp. I've owned a Crown bas... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? I have wrapped my piano black Apogee speakers twice in plastic wrap in the past(when purchased used from audiogon member & house remodel) with no problems. The plastic does leave a temporary swirl like mark in a few spots but after a cleaning ... | |
| DEFINITIVE TECH TRINITY SIG. SUBWOOFER Thanks for the response John. I really want to hear it before I buy but no local A/V store(Paradyne,BestBuy,Mags) that carries DefTech has the Trinity in stock. Special order only at full retail price. What a bummer! You think if they want to make... | |
| Subwoofer cable??? BTW, I use Analysis Plus Super Sub cables. Cheap and work great. Also Talon Audio uses it as reference for their subs.PT | |
| Subwoofer cable??? I have found that a solid core cable(AQ) sounds better than a stranded cable(Monster) for bass. Synergistic research Design also makes great but $$$$ sub cables.PT | |
| Modded Players http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Kyle Takenaga is the best! Call him at: 951/780-2869He modded my Denon-2910 and it is night and day above a cd/dvd player I have owned!! He is also a very honest and patient person. I'm having him do all my equipm... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Mattkimb96- The Ayre V-1XE looks like a great amp. But I think the McCormackDNA500/Krell300Cx would be better for that amount of cash($9000). Loudandclear- Interesting design. Does's anybody out there have any of there amps?! The Z500s amp has a B... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Thanks for the replies/info! Still no killer amp!!I came very close and might still purchase (for the next 5 years atleast!) a pair of Classe CAM-200 monoblocks! Here is the ad and a review:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&11390... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Well I still haven't bought the Classe! The dealer told me that I could get a demo for $4000. Still debating!Fplanner2000- I'm still looking at a DNA500 used for $3500. Being 500watts vs 200watts, I'm sure it’s MUCH more dynamic than the Classe! T... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years THANK YOU EVERYONE AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years Sdrconsultant- I would love to try a Goldmund but way to expensive. There low priced stuff is digital-no thank you. As for the Plinius, too big and hot! If I lived in Alaska, no problem.Plato- The newest version (9.02) I have heard is very good. B... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years I do have one question though about the Classe Delta series. Why is there not a more powerful 2 channel amp the the CA-2200?! There was the CA-301 & CA-401 before. Besides the CA-M400 monos. Is it because it more HT oriented or the new Delta a... |
