If I understand the Monolith III correctly, it is 89db sensitivity and the woofer is passive (not powered).... Being 4 ohm, ... | |
| Domes & Ribbons Sharing When you paralleled the ribbon in with the tweeter, you changed the impedance at crossover point. Assuming that the original ribbon was 8 ohm, you now have from somewhere around 8 ohms to 5 ohms. Your crossover point nearly doubled in frequency f... | |
| stats I've heard them all and at one time or another loved or didn't like them all...The Electrostatics and ribbons both have a very different presentation than a traditional driver speaker. Plus they can be very room dependant. You really need to exp... | |
| MSDS Sheets For Shipping Speakers Internationally? Well, I know that its OSHA type stuff... hazardous chemicals, batteries, etc. Not sure this helps, you will most likely need to call OSHA. Good Luck, haven't run into that one before | |

| Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub Alot of good comments above... getting a sub on these is simply a personal choice. It isn't a "No Brainer"... These are fairly flat down to 32hz, they also use 2 - 8 inch woofers... There are a couple ideas of Bass. 1 is moving mass air. You can... | |

| Adcom GFA-5802 Stereo Power Amplifier to drive Andra speakers!Is it a good choice The 5802 is the best of the Adcom amps and definitely has a Pass flair to its sound...
