| How to warm up cold-sounding Rotel/B&W system? I know exactly what you are talking about and some. Five years ago, I had a Rotel 980BX amp and RC-995 preamp driving B&W 602 S3 speakers.Obviously a big step down, speakerwise, from yours. But, I ended up getting rid of the whole setup becaus... | |

| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. "This is my first SET though so maybe they are all special in this regard."To a certain degree, yes. But, the 45 tube and Yamamoto are probably in a select subset of amps much better at those traits listed in your intital post than most others ava... | |
| Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it??? I prefer my GS Era w/ Elevator to both the EAR 834P and Rogue Stealth. It sounded significantly clearer and more dynamic in my system. The EAR & Rogue are terrific units, but in my case, my SET amps already provide a lot of the best benefits o... | |

| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Shardone,I had the good fortune to hear ATC SCM 100 active monitors at the house of a guy a bought an amp from last year. He played (amongst other things) traditional Chinese drumming tracks that were awe-inspiring. I have never heard such clarity... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Hi Herman,Thanks for explaining more clearly the theory behind horn design. I suppose there could be some dampening deep in the 5' tall horn, I can only reach so far and barely reach the tip of the internal shelf/cavity where the driver is mounted... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Thanks for explaining Jtgofish,***So by comparison the Lowthers are cold.The Fostex are colder still.I have also used a Coral 10 inch which I rate ahead of the Fostex....I listen to a lot of acoustic roots music in which much of the substance is b... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Jtgofish,I don't know which single-drivers you have listened to, but as Herman has mentioned, my Cain & Cain I-Bens are anything BUT cold. And this is from a guy who loves a "slightly warm" sound ala Jean Marie Reynaud speakers which I owned f... | |
| Lowther in bass reflex or Cain Abby Audiocircle is good, but the Fullrange Driver Forum is all fullrange, all the time. You name, they've done it. Doubt you can find more collective experience anywhere on the web.If you can't find a Cain & Cain dealer near you, try shooting Terr... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Whooeeee!!! A small, completly empty, room with bare walls. Gotta be some nasty reflections, peaks, and nulls going on. No wonder things get congested at higher volumes!Before you switch speakers, amps, or whatever, try some acoustic room treatmen... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Hey Eldartford,I don't have a spectrum analyser, but I do have a couple of SPL meters along with white noise/test tone cd's, could I simply check for the notch that way? | |
| Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what? Hi Doug,One of many little pearls of wisdom that get dropped around here from time to time. In all honesty, without that tip, I probaly would have sold off my Fuji FS and considered all the ZYX talk as hype. Now, I'm happy as a clam, but looking t... | |
| Subwoofer Phase Hi Rwwear,Thanks for bringing up that very important point, mini-monitors and a subwoofer would be a perfect example. | |
| Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what? Not to beat the drum to death, but ZYX & Mehran - can't do any better than that. He is, first and foremost, a fantastic person to interact with. Simply a guy with tremendous enthusiasm for this hobby. Second, he truly tries as hard as possible... |
