| Transmission Line Bass the most satisfying bass performance I've heard is from my vintage 1975 Infinity Monitor IIa's. The bass is deep and full without being overwhelming. They are rated flat to 22hz. I still have those speakers but also now have Von Schweikert VR4genI... | |
| Music that really stirs your emotions I have a some more more . . . Mike Oldfield "Ommadawn" always puts me in a trance, although recently not as deep of a trance as I experienced when I was young (and had some chemical help). Andrew Lloyd Weber - Requiem - especially "Pie Jesu"Verde ... | |
| von schweikert vr 4 the fix would be to replace the Pot. I've had this happen on a guitar amp - the sweeper became dislodged from the shaft in my case (as Ckoffend suggests). Pots are cheap, and not hard to replace. I'd call Von Schweikert before doing anything though. | |
| AVRAK Rotating Gear Racks I've never seen or heard of them. While I like the idea, and the pics look very nice, I see a few significant problems. Kennyt hit on the cabling issues. The pics of their cabling look great, but I can't imagine it coming out that perfect. I think... | |
| The Orb: Metallic Spheres I have it and like it a lot (after 2 spins). The jury's still out on whether it's going to get regular play for a long timer. It's nothing like his solo work, nor Pink Floyd, other than the fact it's Prog, and you can hear his voice in the mix. | |
| Happy Birthday Neil Young NY Warehouse FireLe Noise is awesome!. | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? I know at least 2 women who subscribe to Tvad's hypothesis. I have always preferred big floorstanders mostly because I'm a freak for deep bass. I own some stand mounts (Totem Mani-2) however and the portability of them is very appealing. Even thou... | |
| opinions on amp for Totem Mani Sigs I'm not familiar with any of the amps you mention, but I drive my manis with monoblocks/preamp - the amps are rated at 400 w @ 4 ohms, and do just fine. I find it peculiar that your MF amp leaves you wanting unless it's simply much over rated on o... | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Miles Davis, Mike Oldfield. I also can go with Mapman's list. | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 that's the one! I recall others that are useful and worth taking in as well since they all have testimonials, but it's best when there is authoritative contribution like Steve McC provided. | |
| rel with monoblocks ok, I understand. Indeed not all amps are the same. I knew fully balanced amps present issues for the Rel (and not all fully balanced amps are the same), and it's apparent your amps do likewise. My amps are mod'd B&K M200's and I have no issue... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 you really, really need to search the archives on biamping. There is one thread on this topic that has some excellent discussion and contribution from Steve McCormack. Find it, read it.Also, I did biamp my Mani's. The result was at best a marginal... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 given you have 2 identical amps - I suggest you go vertical biamp. Given your preamp doesn't have dual pre-outs - all you need is a y adapter - I have my home theater front mains set up this way - I run one interconnect from my preamp for each cha... | |
| active crossover freqncy for Totem Mani2 It's not clear if the reason you want to use an external crossover is for the purpose of biamping. If it's not, I can't imagine you could improve on the performance over Totem's internal crossover.If you want to bi amp speakers you need 2 stereo a... | |
| Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies ouch. I guess I was lucky I bought when I did. I read somewhere that this is a standard PS unit that can be bought elsewhere (ie through standard component sellers like Mouser). I don't know what P/N to look for though. You may want to google . . . |
