| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Hi Mofimadness, Ear height, center of panel. | |
| Bass and Treble Dials I understand your thoughts Kijanki. Room treatments to dampen peaks in room frequency and go along way to help give us a flatter response. Agreed, but in some rooms, the only way to flatten response would be some type of frequency control... Obvio... | |
| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Where you measure from depends on your speaker. On a 2 way it is normally on the top center of the woofer below the tweeter, on a 3 way it would be the center of the midrange. I have an MTM with a staggered tweeter. Think about what it takes to ti... | |

| How far apart do you position your speakers ? Hi guys, been out of town and just picked up on this thread. In the past 3 to 4 months, I have done extensive testing of my speaker placement. Inititally, I used the Cardas Golden triangle system. It worked well, I use an mtm and always use the in... | |
| Bass and Treble Dials I have read from a few sources that Jim Bonjourno's Ambrosia Preamp has tone controls the work very well. I've never heard it, but I've never read that about ANYTHING else. Maybe someone can confirm. | |
| Help me resurrect my AR-90s On the photo that you have provided. The center is a magnet. Around the magnet is a voice coil former. They have slid paper in place between the magnet and former to make an even gap. This is the voice coil gap. Without that gap, your voicecoil wi... | |
| Help me resurrect my AR-90s The dust cap is the center of the woofer. If you have cut your old one off, the voice coil should be uncovered ready to shim. As far as a replacement dust cap? If the caps are made of a harder material, you will most likely have a bit more extenti... | |
| Help me resurrect my AR-90s You will have to remove the dust cap. Take acetone or nail polish remover and drop it with an eye dropper on the glue of the dust cap, this will detereorate the glue, then take a razor blade and gently cut away the glue and lift the dust cap. You ... | |
| new to tubes I know I'm chiming in on a 3 month old thread. I assume RayRay8 has his amp and all is well, but for what its worth. I've built with the same woofer on the Fritz Grove. It is also the same driver used in the Totem Forest. It does not have any craz... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst Dave, if I read you right and you don't want to do tubes, i certainly understand. In my feable opinion. As close as you'll come on a reasonable budget in solids state would be an old Classe. DR5 or DR6. The Classe 5 or 6 can be had with remotes an... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst I'd suggest Conrad Johnson preamp, You have described Classic CJ sound. | |
| Adding Sub to current system Hi Rpg, it might sound silly, but I look at Craigslist everyday. Occasionally I see some incredible buys. Also, HSU has some very decent woofers. One brand new 15 that will cost around $1000.00 delivered. The Rel's are really quite good, but I'm a... | |
| Adding Sub to current system Hi Rpg, My current speakers are flat to 40, I came across one of the decent velodynes used and picked it up. It is rated down to the low 20's. I put it right next to my system with a 15' cable. It was peeky, I slowly moved the crossover point down... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Hi Guys, A question for a couple of you hard core amp guru's. I have and have seen you guys here mainly discussing Damping factor. In the past, I have also looked at how an amplifier slew's. Is this no longer a factor in todays amplifier designs? ... |
