| Subwoofer for classical music listener Hi Dragon_vibe,EQ / DSP in subwoofers is almost mandatory and has more to do with how difficult room integration is, than creating better specs.I strongly encourage anyone considering a sub to get it with EQ/DSP. Right now the bet models I know of... | |
| USB wall outlets a source of noise in AC lines? Hi John, the question is whether you can hear it. :) Furman with LiFT and SMP provide some of the most cost effective line noise reduction, especially on sale. :) Best,E | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener rvPiano,Your room will have powerful room modes. Get a subwoofer which has very good auto-EQ. The best right now is JL, IMHO for music, but they are also super pricey. Also consider bass traps.Best,E | |
| Warm-up time. Those NuForce amps are very efficient, I would leave them on all the time. I recently got to listen to an ARC integrated, and about 45 minutes is how long it took. It started out OK, then got really grainy for a while, then came out smooth and swe... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Thinking about this problem today, contact Paradigm and ask if there is an undocumented upgrade. Sometimes speakers go out, develop issues like this, and the manufacturer makes a change to the crossover to reduce the load on the tweeter.It's a lon... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Hi RvPiano, I think you have the right approach, in that money and size won’t solve your issues as much as careful integration will.First, what are your current main speakers, and what are your room acoustics like?Best,E | |
| Radio Signal interference Hey Ben,Are you in a high rise, or near a radio transmitter? I don't know your cables, but try even inexpensive, fully shielded cables just to see if that is what you need. A lot of boutique IC's deliberately omit the shield to minimize capacitanc... | |
| which one for rear surrounds The towers, no question. The extra bass and dynamic range will outperform the better tweeter, especially with room correction.Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! in excess of 100MHz- and likely with no need for dead time circuitry This would be a spectacular improvement upon the state of the art. I can't wait to see it in real life. Don't even need a working amplifier to try this, just hook up two tubes... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Hi Guys,I know the ideal situation is to move to the wilderness and build your own home with a separate home theater and music room, and most of the reviews in Stereophile seem to pretend that is the only consumer of good audio gear. The purpose o... | |
| Focal Aria 936 Hi Couger,Yeah, there are a number of vendors who pick up Focal’s after they have been discontinued for a song. Music Direct Parts Connexion Spearit SoundOther brands you will see doing this kind of thing is Monitor Audio and Wharferdale. Best,E | |
| Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals Room acoustics is not a bad place to start. Experiment with rugs, blankets and pillows, on walls and on floor between speakers. If you find this helps, reach out to GIK acoustics for real professional help and products.Best,E | |
| Dual-Use Subwoofer? You might want to consider using a miniDSP solution. If I understand correctly, you want 1 sub hooked up to 2 sources?MiniDSP will let you do this AND will let you do EQ and crossovers separately for each source. Best,E | |
| Would adding a second subwoofer overpower my room? Bass traps first, then EQ. :) A dual sub would be even better, but start with that first, you may find you no longer care. :) Best,E |
