Jason Stoddard was one of their last product designers, Jason Did Polaris III, Andromeda III Athena II. Randy had PS Audio, Meit... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8 speakers Without knowing the issues, your question is tough to answer. These speakers need someone who can work on them. The woofers typically dry rot and need the surrounds replaced or the entire woofer replaced. The mids turn yellow and dry up and the ... | |
| re capping @g_nakamoto... I apologize, I did not intend to have your thread go awry. @kosst_amojan Leaving an amp on all the time sounds better, period. Again, I didn't turn it off for years upon years and caps measured at spec. As, I'm sure that yo... | |
| re capping @kosst_amojan Very nice of you to put it that way to me... So, I've clearly never owned the PURE Class A amplifier that I just referenced that I am currently rebuilding? I am changing the 85 degree caps to 105 degree caps, but I haven't shove... | |
| re capping I am restoring my highly Modified Old Sumo Nine right now, It took a lightening strike a few years ago and I have missed it. In 1983, we put what at the time was a very nice Panasonic electrolytic in the power supply, they were an 85 degree part. ... | |
| Episode vs Def Tech vs Jamo The Definitive are the best built, slightly better sound quality than the Jamo, but the Jamo are much less money and will still perform admirably. Really comes down to what you are trying to achieve. At one time, YEARS ago, I sold Definitive and... | |
| Infinity RS1B ? Buy or runaway Unless you have a real technical ability to take care of these, run. If you feel comfortable working on these, you need to be below $2000. I'd rather see $1500 | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers @moskaudio I hope all of this hasn't been too confusing. To directly answer your question... No, you do not need more power simply because a speaker can handle that much power. You might have seen that others quoted that you have an 8 ohm sp... | |
| Musical Fidelity A308CR Pre Pricing Hi Jillian, You can always list it at a price and add "Best Offer".... Should take care of figuring out what it is worth. | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? These are really inexpensive, but they do make a difference over your standard fuses.... AucharmI've never exchanged any big buck fuses in my system, but I've tried a few of these and they were audible. I've purchased for 2 different amps. | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? Relieving the bass off of a speaker always improves the frequencies above the bass, if you electronically crossed the speaker and sub, certainly that would improve this speaker, but IF this speaker indeed goes down with a flat curve below 20 Hz, t... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? brycethomason, make sure that you break these in well before judging them too intensely. They will change dramatically in the first 100 hours and still noticeably after that. | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? mr_m. No, I am not wrong. There is something to be said for room interaction causing dips or A wimpy amp not having the current to drive the bottom effectively, but all things being equal, adding bottom will increase the output at the given bass ... | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? @brycethomason my fingers were just faster than my head, spec's are correct for 802D3 | |
| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? The 804D2 is 3db down @ 38hz, The 804D3 is 3db down @ 17hz. Unless you place them where a room causes a suck out effect, there is no reason to add a sub to this speaker. If you do add a sub, you will be ADDING to these frequencies of where eve... |
