| What does more power do for Magnepans? Rf_gumby..."As you add devices to gain power, you lose delicacy, kind of a trade off".This has been repeated so many time that it's almost become true! Have you ever seen an elephant dance? Or manipulate things, like a paint brush, with delicacy y... | |
| Bose 901...really Rodman99999...I have observed that a fair amount of casual live music (not the kind I usually listen to) is delivered via Bose 801s (?) speakers which look like 901s turned backwards. Surely a 901 would be near ideal for reproducing what comes out... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Some creative marketer will call it a "304.8 mm arm" and charge an extra $600. | |
| Bose 901...really Inpepinnovations..."If carefully installed and under the right conditions, the Bose 901s are not as bad as audiophiles would have others believe".Exactly. That's why I took the trouble to begin this thread. | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? Mrtennis is correct that Maggies sound great with low power amps. But Brownsfan is also correct that a high powered amp will show you another level of performance. This is not the case with all speakers, and accounts for the myth that Maggies abso... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms And, after upgrading to a 12" arm, the next step is linear tracking. | |
| Which new OPPO DVD player is the one to get? Johnnyb53...Makes you wonder why some outfits charge you several grand for their players. As others have noted, the remote needs improvement. That's the worst thing I can say about my Oppo. | |
| Bose 901...really Rodman99999...A ten inch driver is large enough to be useful especially if you have a line array of them. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 Operational Questions 3B)....I auto eq all frequencies down to 20 Hz, and it seems to work fine (on two different systems). However it is true that this is a range where you may want to deviate from the flat response which the auto eq process produces. I do this by min... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 Operational Questions 1)... Most people like the sound with a gradual HF roll off. The ROOM CORR function makes it easy to do this. It's an option. Use or don't use as you like.2)... It's a lot easier to define your target curve relative to flat than as a modification ... | |
| Anyone know of good active crossovers? The Ashly XR 1001 crossover. Available from www.parts-express.com for $240.I have the four channel model. I think you can read the owner's manual on the Ashly website. | |
| Bose 901...really Rodman99999...But, those little woofers ARE trying to reproduce everything down to 20 Hz, unless you use a filter to electronicly roll off the signal around 40 Hz. They beat their little hearts out trying, without much audible result, but with adv... | |
| Frequencies? Bass, Mids, Hi's? Range? I would suggest that the range which is usually covered by the Midrange driver of a three way system is a reasonable definition.This would be from 350Hz or so up to 2500Hz. (Of course particular speaker systems will vary a bit). Below this band is... | |
| Bose 901...really Rodman99999...When I was at MIT Prof Bose had a huge multidriver speaker hung from the ceiling in the music library. It was mono. (That gives you an idea how long ago it was). At the time his interest was in multiple small drivers instead of one b... | |
| Bose 901...really Rodman99999...Actually I would like to build an airplane in the room, but the wife sez "NO!".What is it about the "method of operation and design" that puts you off. Are you really familiar with Prof Bose original concept for the 901s? I think it ... |
