| Why vinyl? I also miss album covers. I was talking to a friend the other day after getting an email about the "Best Concerts" thread. I had been going through my LPs and album covers evoke a feeling that I have never felt looking through my CDs. A lot like t... | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Seandtaylor- Did this occur with all records? | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Do the woofers "wobble" when playing stuff that has no low bass? If so its not feedback. Im guessing Sktn77a has got it right. | |
| Subwoofer placement questions Your biggest concerns will be how they are loading the room(placement) and phase. Dont think you will hear "lag time". | |
| What's the best dirt bag speaker you have heard? Stevemj- You must have found a pair of RCA speakers that have Lineum tweeters. Too bad that the best deal Lineum found was with Radio Shack, they make great tweeters and should not have been overlooked by serious manufacturers. | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Anyone who is insulted by an offer that is only -20% should ask rock bottom and list as "firm". If you list obo you have to leave some room for negotiation. I have responded with "too low" and I have ignored stupid low offers. Dont think its rude ... | |
| Do I need more power? The latest Sparks present a 4ohm load, in which case you may be clipping your amp. Maybe your thread title should mention the Sparks. You may alert other Spark owners and get advice from their experience. | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? Read my lips, You wrong doers will not get away with shooting the deputy! As for that incident in my past when I shot a deputy, well that was a youthful indiscretion. (I was only 44) | |
| Speaker break in? Some may say that break-in is a placebo effect but it is not. I am not one to believe every tweek that comes along is for real, especially high dollar cable hype. But I would not have kept my Totem Ones if they had sounded the same after break-in.... | |
| ACI Anyone? Most speakers are designed to play in open space, not from a cabinet or wall recess. I am not sure if the ACI Veritas were intended for wall placement but they include an equalizer and they may be your best bet. The only other speaker I can think ... | |
| Who Shot the Deputy? I think Oliver Stones' next movie that will get to the bottom of all this. | |
| Speaker break in? Totem recommends break-in at low to moderate levels. I guess if the surrounds were too stiff you might damage the bond between the surround and woofer frame. Take it easy at first, but it would probably take some real abuse to damage a woofer. | |
| Speaker break in? Its easy to accept that speakers take some time to break in with all the mechanical parts that move and stretch and I have had new speakers that went from horrible to wonderful. It can take over a month.More suprising is that electronics can chang... | |
| Tweeter Dome Puncture If its just a pinhole it probably does not effect the sound. Make sure there are no hard to see cracks if it is a meddle dome. If you cant hear it dont worry about it. Point it out and maybe you can get a better price. | |
| The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease??? There does seem to be a movement back to 70s rock style. Some of us (new) old farts were talking about what our kids are listening to. Sounds like they are not just listening to the new music with the old sound but they are discovering the old stu... |
