| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Rooze...Maggies emit sound equally in both directions, with opposite phase. Turning them around doesn't change much...just a little because the magnets are in the way on one side. Bose 901s had eight little FR drivers aimed at the wall, and one at... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Warrenh...Per your instructions I waxed my woofers, and the midrange really smoothed out. | |
| Anyone tried Magnepan 1.6's with rock music? For classic rock the obvious choice is huge horn loaded boxes with 15 or 18 inch drivers. They will sound "right" because that sound is exactly what you get at a live concert.Maggies will do their best for you, but their virtues lie in other direc... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Zaikesman...You mentioned two descriptions: "overachieving near-miracles or overhyped quasi-rip-offs". I think you, and the sellers, missed another possible description...A design based on synergistic combination of very modest components to achie... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard About the grounded pin in the "balanced" interconnect...I am no genius to think of this. I just had it happen to me, fortunately in only one of two channels, so the gain difference was obvious. | |
| How to get multichannel sound from a CD? Calanctus...All the matrix multichannel schemes involved out-of-phase signal being emphasized in the rear channels, and deemphasized in the fronts, with the exact ratios varying somewhat between systems. The SQ LP system also involved some plus an... | |
| What are the best subwoofer plate amps.... The Bryston amp is a full range regular power amp. This is more than you need for a subwoofer.For a subwoofer power amp high frequency response is unnecessary. Only slowly changing voltage will be amplified.For a subwoofer power amp, a very low le... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard Balanced interfaces is a different subject than complementary circuit topography. There is nothing wrong with generating a balanced line output interface out of non-complementary circuitry so as to exploit the merits of that kind of interface. The... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard 1. The advantages of a balanced interface are significant for long runs in an electromagneticly noisy environment. You probably don't have this situation.2. Are you sure that your balanced wires are actually functioning in balanced configuration? ... | |
| How to get multichannel sound from a CD? What we are talking about is "matrix multichannel". With most any surround decoding system, Dolby, DTS, etc. signal that is out of phase between the two channels goes to the rear speakers. This is very damatic if you play a Test rrecording that ha... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? "natural..carded wool" is certainly a plus. But, are the sheep organically raised, and bred by natural insemination? | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Bose 901 revisited. I'm not sure what turning them around does since they radiate both ways.You can get some funny effects from Maggies. Try setting them up in normal manner, but then sitting directly in between the speakers. If you get your head ... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Warrenh...Agreed that this is America, and people can charge whatever other people are willing to pay. Just the same, the information about the modest guts of the Caravelles is of interest, if only to encourage the many people who can't afford the... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Gendut3...I think that a "$39 Peerless and $27 Seas" with the right enclosure and crossover might sound good, and I bet that a few people have already put their orders in to Madisound. It's the price that seems out of line. But as I said before "i... | |
| tube amplifier auto bias- accurate? Atmasphere...Your comments are worth at least 4 cents.One final comment...the demise of self biased tube operation relates to the development of inexpensive solid state diode rectifiers. In the bad old days, generation of an additional dc voltage ... |
