| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Line...I have a little Boston Acoustics A40 that I will try. I have weighed it (10 pounds) and trussed it up with a rope so I can hang it. I haven't got around to doing the experiment yet...will report results. | |
| Watts - Volts and Resistance The note on the back of the receiver probably says that it draws 535 watts of AC power when it is maxed out driving 4 ohm speakers. This would suggest that its total audio output is probably about 50 percent of 535 watts, which is 133 watts. You s... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Line...Unfortunately no audiophile on this site would confess to having Bose 901s, so we can't check this out. :-) Maybe I'll give it a try (quickly so the wife doesn't see) with a Maggie.Your point is well taken that those Bose 901s have a lot of... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS As I said, some people will continue to believe that music will set suspended speakers swinging, until they actually try it. Of course (unless you use three chains) they can swing if you get them started some other way, like a room fan. | |
| Current source/Voltage source, and like questions Timpani...Your suggestion that current feedback should be frequency dependent sounds right, but I think it should be the other way around. It is the woofer that exhibits that big impedance hump at resonance, where current control would be effectiv... | |
| Wife approval factor? You guys obviously do not fancy Maggies, or other "ugly room dividers". | |
| Current source/Voltage source, and like questions Timpani...The "simple network" that I suggested is the "current feedback" which you mention. | |
| Speakers for vocalists Kkm...Some recordings are like that, but others give pinpoint imaging. It's not the speakers. Maybe you need to fiddle with placement or room treatment, especially the wall behind the speakers.The point source concept is overrated. Even if the sou... | |
| Can all amps drive a 4 ohm load? Nothing will be damaged. If your objective is just to sample the planar sonic perspective, low volume is OK, and your amp will suffice. Just don't expect to evaluate the potential of the Maggies. | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Newbee...Yes that's what Newton said, but he also explained how to calculate how much that reaction would be. We agree that other effects swamp speaker movement, if any. | |
| LP collection management...what do you guys do? The method I used for keeping track of memos, reports, and the like, I called "Vertical Chronological Filing System". In other words, after using an item throw it on the top of a pile. This also works for CDs. What you use frequently naturally ris... | |
| Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length Think about the length of line level signal cables used between microphones and recording equipment. Fifty feet or more. Obviously not a problem unless you have lousy wire or high impedance outputs.Besides, having long interconnects qualifies you ... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS Line...You need two chains to avoid the speaker pointing in different directions. If you use three chains, it can't swing either. | |
| Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy? Rockethouse...If you used a finger, instead of a toe, your system would be "digital" :-) | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER "Better", or "different"? That there are differences cannot be argued. Of course the two products were mixed down differently, perhaps even by different people. For the LP there must be RIAA equalization and blending of the LF material to mono (to... |
