| Vandersteen 2ce questions Rrog-No, I just run the single voice coil. I found the Gallos to be more dynamic. Don't get me wrong, I owned Vandies for a LONG time, I really like them. I just found they didn't have the "slam/impact/dynamics" (whatever you want to call it), tha... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce questions Rrog-I would agree with your statement, up to a point. Different speaker designs definitely present what they're fed differently.Without changing anything else in my system, I went from 3a Signatures, to Gallo 3.1's and found all of the "slam" I h... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce questions I owned 2ce Sigs, 3a's & 3a Sigs, all very nice speakers. I used them with a number of different amps, McCormack, NuForce, Musical Fidelity, Belles. While the bass is deep, I always felt they were lacking in "slam"/dynamics. As much as I liked... | |
| Your First Concert was..... REO Speedwagon. Chrysler Arena, Ann Arbor MI, 1981. The 16 year old me was amazed! | |
| Best inexpensive sub for Maggie MMG's ? I had good luck with Hsu subs when I owned MMG's. I just saw one for sale on here for $250ish, it appears to have been sold. REL is also a good choice, but a little more expensive. | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. I've enjoyed Musical Fidelity integrated amps with my Klipsch Forte's. Deep tight bass, nice mids and detailed, but not bright highs. | |
| Squeezebox Server work with latest Apple OS? Can't say the same for my older version of Office or Print Shop. : ( | |
| Squeezebox Server work with latest Apple OS? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion last week and the switch was seemless. I'm also using Squeezbox Server->iTunes->Squeezebox 3 with Bolder mods. | |
| Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15 How about a pair of Klipsch? Cornwalls, Fortes, etc. Replace the tweeter diaphragms (SUPER easy) with the Crites Ti diaphragm and the crossovers with the Crites replacements and you'll have a very smooth, very dynamic, very efficient speaker, for ... | |
| Sub? Can't Decide I use to own a Hsu and thought it was a very good sub for the money. Don't know anything about the other two. | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? I have heard fewer systems that at moderate volumes get a lot closer to the feeling created (for example) by a live kick drum and snare, and which as a result allow the bass playing on the music to be much more realistically in synch (groove) with... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Again, I'm not talking about volume. I'm talking about the impact, dynamics, feeling, whatever you want to call it. For me, that's more import to making the music sound live, than throwing a huge soundstage or getting every note exactly right. Tha... | |
| USB DAC/Preamp Suggestions $1k to $2k I would second the Bel Canto DAC 3. I tried many DACs up to about $2k (used) and stayed with the Bel Canto. | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker FWIW, I'll share my experience on this.I once heard a demo at a local shop. It was a recording of an acoustic guitar. Nothing else. Don't remember exactly what speakers I was listening to. I listened for a while, it sounded very nice. The dealer t... | |
